100Mbps?? NOT ENOUGH

[โ€“] 3laws 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have 150Mbps and pay $570 Mexican Pesos which right now is about $35 USD but last year was $28 USD due to the Peso doing significantly better and the USD kinda crashing.

Still, it's not enough for my client work, piracy and live streaming needs since it's non symmetrical, I only get 30Mbps upload.

I got receipts ๐Ÿ“œ:

I'm in the UK right now and pay ยฃ60-ish for gigabit internet (and 100mbps upload) which usually is actually around 800-900 Mbps, don't know the exact price because it includes a phone system my parents pay for
