When you say "bandwidth to price ratio is shitty in this country," are you in a country where you pay $79.95/month for 250GB quota on ADSL2+ which connects at 6Mbps?

Effectively, yes.

We're in a country where we pay $50/month for 150GB quota on ADSL2+ which connects at 5Mbps.

There's a $10/50GB overage charge. So if we were to hit the quota you have, we'd be paying roughly the same ($70/month). Note that the price listed does not include taxes and fees, which bump it up to within a few dollars of your $79 price point.
