I get 2gbps to my home in singapore for $30USD a month.

10gbps is available in a few places globally, but its becoming more common. i.e. https://www.utopiafiber.com/10-gbps-info/

Wow that's nice! I get 600/25mbps for $80USD in the US, coax 😞 wish fiber-to-the-premise was a possibility in my neighborhood

Even that's twice what I get. The prices here are disgusting... I get 300mbps for $100... Yay monopolies!

My parents get 25/1 for ~$150 since there’s no other options, nor is there any plans to run new cable to get them better internet.

10gbps in utah for $200 a month...

I imagine korea has some great prices too.....

but the important thing here is the trend, data is becoming available, data centers don't matter as much as we become more interconnected ourselves.
