In a relatively small US city, 600/600 mbps fiber and I actually get it 24/7. I could get 1200, 2400 or even 5000 but I don’t see any point. Heck I can get 700/35 on my iPhone (overnight).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

5 mbps for 18€/month... Fuck this I'm switching back to pidgeons.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

1200/35 for $120 US/month. I also own my own modem and router. Otherwise it would be another $15-$20/month.

Anything cheaper knocks my upload down to 20 and saves me very little. Viewing my options now hides upload rates but I checked a few months ago when my promotional rate expired and the price jumped $40.

1000/20 is $115, 800 is $110, 500 is $105, 300 is $90, 150 is $68

Any competitors don't qualify as broadband anymore. Maybe 35/5? I didn't even bother checking the price.

At least it's fairly stable and "unlimited" but I'm fairly sure they can say that and still cap it at 200GB/month or something. Oh, and I can connect their surveillance device... I mean "free streaming box"... and get Peacock at no extra cost!

1Gbit fibre, they offer up to 3Gbit but I really don’t see the need right now and don’t have the hardware to take advantage of it right now.

~1000/1000 (usually more like 1300m on speed tests when wired)

$55/month here in the Northeast USA

Β£21/mo for a 100Mb/s VDSL connection split at 80/20: speeds as advertised, ~10ms latency. I'm living in the centre of a large market town in the North of England.

Two doors down, my neighbour is paying Β£25/mo for symmetric gigabit FTTP with negligible latency, but the fibre network doesn't extend to my property. Fuckers.

Oh, I also have a backup/travel LTE service which provides about a 1150Mb/s down and 300Mb/s up with 20ms latency which costs me Β£18/mo.

1.2 Gbps at fast.com. Very lucky to live in a location that offers fiber.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

300 mbps, symmetrical, ~30 usd/mo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

100/100 for 22,000 KRW/month (about $16.50 USD).

Other options with my provider:

  • 500/500 for 35,750 KRW ($26.85)
  • 1000/1000 for 41,250 KRW ($31)
  • 2500/2500 for 44,000 KRW ($33)
  • 5000/5000 for 55,000 KRW ($41.31)
  • 10000/10000 for 82,500 KRW ($62)

And that 100/100 is effective. Shit downloads fast

One of many, many reasons I'm not fond of going back to the US. Maybe Europe next, we'll see. For now, Korea is pretty sweet

250/40 no caps, 70€/month, germany on the edge of a city. The city has fiber but weβ€˜re not there yet. Stuff is slow in germany since telekom owns most of the infrastructure and is a private company that really needs to be disowned rn!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

380/260, for β€œgigabit fiber”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm paying 50eur for 250 in Germany but I'm only getting 10-15 because of the shitty cabling in our house. Yay!

40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

25/10 for 65AUD/m (43USD/m). Australia, NBN (monopoly across entire country, technically government owned but run like a private corp because of politics). It's the lowest speed now available, but it's already overpriced. $780/year is far more than all of my wifi capable equipment is worth together, including laptops.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

980/980 fiber, $65/mo in Colorado

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

150/20 over LTE. It's good enough, although we used to have 1000/150 when we still lived in an apartment. Upgrade of living came with a downgrade in internet speed.

1Gbps symmetrical, business class, because I run my business from my home.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

1Gbps down, 0.7Gbps up.

Well that's a lie actually as some workers have cut the line thursday and it's down to 100Mbps down and a ridiculous 1.5Mbps up over a 4G link :-/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

390 down/340 up. I pay for 300/300, and it always tests higher, and at a price less than I paid for 100/10 service from the cable company. And it has about 1/3rd the latency as cable. Love having fiber. Worth noting that cable went to 300/20 as soon as fiber came to the neighborhood for the same price they charged before. Competition rules.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Starlink. Between 20 down, to 380 down, depending on where I am. Have never gone higher.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

On average around 40/5 depending of the day. I've got an option for fibre aswell but 4G is much cheaper

depends on the time of day and the status of a particular cable that runs under the ocean. anywhere between 4kbps and 20mbps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

93mbps, Germany. I could go up to 250mbps but it probably wouldn't work with the copper wires and require a new Fritzbox router.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

150/150 fiber.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

513/74 this evening. My fttp package is 150d but I get the 500 at the 1Gig price.

The install and billing issues after were so bad that i ended up with almost two years of credit. Only started paying in December and they haven't said or changed anything.

I'm going to see how long it lasts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

1200/1200, Comcast can suck on these fibers. Still paying ~10x what non Americans do, but at least it isn’t for literal garbage tier service-monopoly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

.... mbps could mean both but one should differ between Mbps and MBps.

100 Mbit (Mbps) enables a max download speed of: 12.5 MBps....
