I am paying not even half of this ;). Its about 35 Euro.
For 80 Euros I would expect something more than this as well.

Yes, of course. Didn´t want to imply otherwise.
Actually I think the figures I get are quite close to what I pay for.
Download could be a bit faster maybe, but its a better relation than 27 to
100 Mbps.
But then the server have to deliver the bandwidth as well as each hop in
between. This becomes more difficult the higher the bandwidth is. As you are
for sure not the only one streaming videos from the net ;).
