How much do you pay? How fast are your your real world speeds? Where are you located?
500 Rupees (about 6$) for 40mbps fibre connection.
$80 1Gbps symmetrical fiber. Speed tests are usually 800+ down/1Gb up, but usually can get 1Gb down on steam games. Portland, Or
Fiber, 250mbps/250mbps. A speed test I just ran gave me 190mbps/160mbps, which I consider to be a fair result. For this I pay the equivalent of $12/month.
Santiago, Chile. 900/900 Synmetrical fiber, I pay around $25 USD per month. No caps, no static IP, I can manage my own ports and I use my own Mikrotik Hex S.
UK, 900 Mbps for £35
300 down, 50 up (real world speeds usually slightly higher), 55.5 € ($61.4) per month. Germany, Vodafone (formerly Kabel Deutschland). I
1gbps up/down with static IPv4 and IPv6 address for 105dkk ($15). Located in Denmark.
I can reliably get the offered speeds and the connection is unmetered.
Rural Oregon. 1gbps up and down. $600/month. I never go below ~930mbps each way.
Is it that much due to living in the rural area and you’re paying a loan off that build the infrastructure for you to have gigabit internet in the country??!
Yeah, sorta. Nobody would provide internet to where I live, so I finally convinced a company to trench fiber to my house for me.
Unfortunately I’m paying $500/mo for like 96 months now so they can offset the cost.
Worth it though. My alternative was 512kbps DSL that would have outages daily and I’m a remote software engineer. It just didn’t work.
€13/month, 300GB, theoretical speeds are 73Mbps download and 25Mbps upload, but usually a little under that.
Ok, maybe not just a little.
Image link for compatibilityThis was the most worth-it way to access internet. Probably explains why I am the only one who thinks school internet is fast while others do quite the opposite.
Was $65 even but centurylink reneged on the lifetime contact price so now it’s $75 for gigabit internet up/down. In WA a major city
These threads always just reinforce how much of a cunt Helmut Kohl was, god damn
Edit:
Bit of context in case people who come across this comment don’t know, Helmut Kohl was the german chancellor from 1982-1998.
He completely trashed his predecessors plans for nationwide fiber in order to advance TV instead. Now it’s 2023 and a staggering 19% of all households are connected via fiber.Worst part about the cable is the packet loss. It’s legit better to get a slow DSL connection in Germany than a faster cable internet because the packet loss makes RTC unusable
That sounds awfully familiar.
Huh, didn’t know that before. What is it with politicians and avoiding foresight?
Welp, I feel very poor now. UK VDSL 50/10mbps for the most part, about £30/mo I think.
Don’t feel too bad, at least you have some bandwith. ADSL (10/1 mbps) is the only thing available in my part of rural Texas, besides satellite 🤮, and I’m paying $65/month
Isn’t Starlink supposed to be ok?
thanks, wait you pay $65 for 10/1? WOW
Yeah it’s nuts. Where i came from we had a couple of broadband options but in this place its like an information desert. The house didn’t even have the connection when we first arrived, it cost about $400 for the DSL install.
10mbps 4G router for 20€/month in Finland
I have fibre too but it’s more expensive so I don’t see a reason to pay more when my current one works just fine too.
100Mbps download of fiber optic network for 11.50 €/mo. I’m from Lithuania, which has always had a good internet coverage. The supplier is Cgates. They offer cheaper alternatives if you agree for a 1-year or 2-year plan.
100/20 mbps for $75 AUD a month for the first year. Amazing quality and service from Leaptel on FTTP. I wish our internet was cheaper.
