Cries in Australian

Laugh in Western European (10Gbps)

Cries in German. (I personally have Speedy Internet but many people I know have internet that really sucks slowly.)

My relative lives in Germany and can confirm that they have potato internet there

My first thought is you need to buy new network equipment to utilize 10 gbit and new ethernet cables.

Yeah I'd love to have anything near 100Mbps. Currently get 12Mbps on a good day, usually around 6Mbps. This is after spending thousands of dollars to upgrade the connection last year. Australian internet is fucked.

That's crazy. Here in São Paulo (Brazil), wired internet plans start at 100 Mbps and you'll often end up with 300+ Mbps, because there's almost no difference in price.
