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).

500/500 for around 10 eur per month

[–] sudneo 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess Poland? I know from my colleagues that internet infrastructure jumped from old slow stuff to fiber there and it's fairly cheap.

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!

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months 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.

300 mbps, symmetrical, ~30 usd/mo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Right now? 10d/1u. There was a post recently about my country coming last in internet speeds in Europe

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] Wayren 3 points 9 months ago

300/300 here. $40

[–] PP_BOY_ 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

1000/1000. Usually ends up clocking between 800-1000 download though.

Two months ago I was getting 20/2

[–] rockyTron 2 points 9 months ago

980/980 fiber, $65/mo in Colorado

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

14 download and 8 upload.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

3-5MB/s download on my computer, 1-3MB/s on my phone.

400 for approx 40 usd

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

My isp contract is 300mbps but I only get 172 on average.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

50/6 :( 'Murca!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 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....

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

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

[–] hperrin 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

75/70 at 23 euros a month. It's cheap and enough for our family to simultaneously stream HD content. Gigabit internet is available but I'm not really sure it's necessary. My son has 14 ping while gaming. That's satisfactory.
