10 Gbps symmetrical for 40 bucks a month TV included. It's absolutely mind boggling for me how expensive internet is in North America.
Jesus, 10Gbps!? I'm paying $90 for "gigaspeed" AT&T fiber. But, I'm luckier than most, I have AT&T fiber and Metronet as fiber providers, as well as Spectrum and T-Mobile (but yuck to using 5G as my primary source of internet).
I know, it kinda sounds crazy, but at the same time it makes sense because after infrastructure the cost for the ISP is minimal. I mean upgrading to 25 Gbps is possible for just 70 bucks, so what can I say. Although my country is comparably small and I do live in the city. So it's not universally like that.
Spectrum near me charges me $79 a month for 400mbit down, and... Get ready... 10mbit up.
I'm in southern San Diego and they have non-compete agreements with the other companies. I can't get anything else.
North America is insane with their internet costs.
Here in VN, I can get unlimited 4G for 40$ a year, and 100mbps symmetrical fiber for about 50$ a year. The biggest provider is the Army. Their customer service is actually pretty fast and good too!
The country is fucking huge to be fair, but it's also the capitalism capital of the world.
Would have great internet too if the telecommunication companies didn't just pocket the money for installing fiber infrastructure. Twice.
The country can be huge but most people live in urban areas now, it's not like they've gotta waste time and money running fiber all over north dakota. We're talking cities with populations that rival some countries.
Which country? Some of the countries in North America aren't huge.
Country (noun):
an area of land considered in relation to a particular feature
According to wikipedia Carrier pigeons typically travel ~1000km at ~100km/h and can carry 75g comfortably. a microsd card weighs about 0.5g and we have 1Tb ones now so our pigeon could carry about 150Tb per trip (sidenote that'll cost ~20K so packet loss would really suck) . that's an impressive 33Gb/s at the 1000km range. the 30million ms ping might be annoying though.
This really needs an update for each carrier to transport multiple packets at once.
Based on RFC2549 it seems each carrier can transport up to 10g. That's roughly 40 MicroSD cards. The current largest MicroSD cards are 2TB, so that's 80TB/carrier. It seems the smallest response time is 3,000s.
That means the theoretical top transfer rate could be roughly 213Gbps.
Edit: Although it seems the carriers could do as much as 75g. That's 300 MicroSD cards or 600TB. At 5km that makes 1.6Tbps!
Not to mention it needs a security update. Gotta figure out a way to encrypt those pigeons!
17mbps (Neighbour's Wifi).

1000 up and down. Fiber is great. Actually having competition instead of a Comcast monopoly in my area is amazing.
The one downside when I bought was only Comcast in the area. 6 months in, Att fiber got dropped in. Now I'm with you!
1000/1000 for like $3 a month. But that's with the caveat of living in China, where I need a VPN to access most western websites, so that's my bottleneck.
Domestically I can get the full bandwidth when streaming (ton of English content available for cheap), but once I need to use the VPN it drops to maybe 200-300 mbit, depending on the server and current utilization.
Moving to Malaysia in less than 2 months where I can get 2gbit for about $90 (tested at my friend's house), but honestly I think I'll settle on 500. It's more than I can realistically use in a 2 person household, and it's like 20 bucks.
500 is the sweet spot, at least for downloads. I have it and it's fast enough for all my needs. Upload can be less, although I'd love to have more than the current 50. Good luck with your move!
Thanks a lot! Will be an interesting journey for sure.
And yeah that's what I thought, I had 100 asymmetrical before when living alone, and thought there's still room for improvement, but it's a declining balance really. My friend has a 4 person household and never even came close to utilizing his full bandwidth, he basically told me he took the biggest package just because he could.
Mine is supposed to be 100 / 100 and actually is. In Vietnam, symmetrical fiber-to-the-home is actually pretty common. I think I pay 5$ a month, or maybe a bit less.
Damn. It surprises me how many people here are from VN.
I've only encountered one other! I might still be the only VN Lemmy instance, but probably not. I used to be.
Heyyo, I'm from Hanoi!
Neat! Despite immigrating here 12 years ago, I've only been to Ha Noi once! Everyone here in HCMC made a big fuss about warning me about scams, but everyone I met was fine, and no such thing occurred. Perhaps ironically, my inlaws hometown is near Ha Noi :P
That was also the first time I had egg coffee, which I really enjoy these days. Sword lake was pretty nice too. I'd go back one day for sure!
Kind of crazy that Vietnam can provide better Internet service to their citizens than the US. Not to disparage Vietnam in any way, but you'd think a country with the largest economy in human history would be able to keep up.
Well, usually competition creates more efficient prices. So I guess somehow your telecoms companies are using strategies to avoid competing somehow.
On our end, we still have quite some parts of the economy that are planned. For example, I applied for my business license according to a particular 5-year plan, and there are only certain areas of the economy I'm allowed to participate in. I can't just one day pick up and decide that I'm going to start a butter factory or something.
The best Internet provider is literally the Army, but they weren't granted a monopoly. The post office and three or four other major providers exist in every city. So there's actually quite a healthy competition for customers, it seems this too was planned for. Things don't always work out this well, but at least for Internet it worked out pretty great.
As an aside, back when there wasn't enough money to fund State organs, they would sometimes be granted profitable businesses to stay afloat. Some bits of this are left -- you can stay at a beach hotel run by the police department in at least one city. It always seemed to me a smart way to get the country out of a bad situation. This is why the Army or the Post Office are licensed to to a bunch of profitable consumer services.
The US could keep up, but then that means that telecoms would make less money, so obviously that is a non-starter.
2000/1000
🥲
It was a long road, getting from there to here.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing′s in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna hold me down
STANDIN' TALL
On the wings of my dream
It's my life, my dream,
Nothing's gonna stop me now
...right?
Those are some pretty round numbers. What your isp tells you or what your router pulls?
My router actually can't keep up Even with deep packet inspection and all the security features turned off I can't crack 1700. If I connect directly to their provided router I get the full 2K. (I have a first version unifi dream machine pro, the SE supposedly handles it just fine).
Not sure about router not keeping up. I pull 1800s on the down but often break 2000 on the up. I believe it's legit not any ceiling on my hardware.
He just said if he takes the router out of the picture he gets the full 2Mbps, that's a pretty solid data point.
I believe it. The Unifi routers aren't the most powerful. And they've had their share of bugs. I had a couple firmware updates where my USGs couldn't even keep up with the 300Mbps I had at the time.
10 GBit symmetrical. Which is a bit useless, since my motherboard only supports 1 GBit, but it's good to be ready for the future, I suppose.
You could get a 10 Gbps network card for under $100
And ensure the router and the ethernet cable support that. But yeah.
I could, but in reality, I barely ever max out even the 1 GBit. Steam is probably the only service that comes to mind. And whether I download a new game in 10 minutes or 1 minute doesn't really matter...
I cant even max out my 1gbit with steam because they use compression and my CPU just cant decompress fast enough.
I pay for 1000/50, I get more like 500/50 which is fine by me. Costs 80CAD a month.
Since you are so cool paying for things you don't receive I'd love to sell you some crypto. I'll sell you 4 coins ether for the price of 8 coin.
75/15
Everyone around me is getting fiber, but I'm on a private/unadopted road, so not for me 😭
Still better than what I have.
My day job is building ISP networks. It's been about 20 years since I had a home connection that I didn't configure up both ends of myself.
I've got a 1G / 500M tail into home where I am right now, not that that is particularly impressive. One of the jobs I've been putting off at work is standardising our usage of the 10G GPON platform available here in NZ, when I do that I'll get one of the >1G tails to use at home.
Usually the answer is how ever much I can be bothered building, but my usage is pretty low.
You can come around to my-place and upgrade me.
In saying that we were the first install of fibre in our village. Got a call the wee before it was meant to be installed something like “we have just turned on the fiver network, you are just around the corner from us you want us to install today?”
How's the rollout of the 10G stuff going? Seems like it's been coming "soon" for the last couple of years. Not that I could actually make use of 10G down.
We did an address check when we could first order it and about a third of the folks in the office could get it about a year and a half ago. I know the majority of the address checks that we do for commercial locations in tenders come up positive now.
It is not cheap to get an off the shelf router that does a solid job of forwarding multiple gigabits and the vast majority of folks ( me included ) probably will rarely notice the difference outside of speed tests. The last firewall build that I did for home was with a pair of virtual Linux boxes with 10G interfaces just so I could do a 2G or 4G GPON upgrade later on without having to throw everything out.
In New Zealand it seems like 10G GPON services are mostly cannibalizing high quality lit ethernet services at 1G and 10G subrate rather than replacing consumer tails. So more likely a business is going from spending $1500 a month on uncontended 1G to spending $400 a month on contended 4G, rather than a residential user going from spending $150 on 1000/500 to $280 on 2000/2000.
1000mbps symmetric, $500/mo (yeah I know...)
Bro what.
I live pretty rural and no service providers had any desire or plans to expand service to where I am. Best offering was 768kbps DSL.
I'm in a little bit of a valley with a ton of huge trees, so Starlink would cut out every 10-15 minutes. Cellular internet was...okay...but not fast enough for my needs.
I ended up paying a provider to dig a trench from a distant main road to my property and bury a fiber line direct for my use. It has a 99.99999% uptime guarantee which is nice.
I'll be paying for it for 10 years....but honestly, worth it.
Holy shit ! you'll be paying 500$/month for ten years ? Yea, I imagine I would do that too, given the dough
Sadly, yeah. Moved out here mid-COVID and I really don't anticipate needing to move (got a good chunk of land, it's quiet, farm animals, etc.) and I can do my job remote so the internet was definitely necessary. But we'll see where life takes me.
60K in 10 years is not very expensive if you didn’t have to pay for the digging itself. That could easily be as expensive without any service. Now I don’t know what happens after your current contract though, whether it will be reduced or if you have options to switch providers…
Supposedly it drops to something like $60/mo (in today's dollars). The rest is actually me having agreed to subsidize the digging itself. I just looked again it's actually 8 years, so on the whole I still feel like it was worth it.
In fact, I remember them telling me they went way over budget on the project so I'm actually underpaying (we signed agreements prior to them breaking ground). So I guess that aligns.
Good one. And your commune wouldn't pay for any of it ?
Not sure what you mean by commune?
I'm not sure... the town ? district maybe ?
Ohhh okay, sorry, I wasn't sure if by commune you meant I lived in a multi-family commune - which I don't.
Unfortunately, no, the actual town I live in address-wise has a whopping population of about 1000 people but that's spread out over multiple multiple acres of farmland. And on top of that I'm on the edge of said town boundaries. If I lived in the town itself I would have had access to fiber internet without having to get a line trenched, unfortunately, I don't.
Because it only benefits my property, no subsidies or anything available.
I see. Well you still made a good investment
Got any neighbours who might pay for some of that?
Not close enough, no. Though I was briefly looking into offering something using some high-powered point to point hardware, just haven't really done it yet.
"250 symmetrical", but my router usually reports around 270ish each way. Recently moved somewhere with fiber to the home.
Previously the cable co I was with kept sending notifications that they had "upgraded" my service. I went from like 100mbps down to like 300 down with them, but they never changed the 10mbps up...
~90/30 (paying for 100/40).
That's considered pretty good for our shit Aussie FTTN (VDSL) network.
Fibre upgrades are happening.
48/16 here. Something like that with almost 80 a month.
AUD?
Shop around, change providers whenever you find a better deal, it barely takes an hour, I'm paying $68 for unlimited.
Melbourne Australia: ~75/30mbps. Was getting 1000/1000 at my last place near the city, but we bought a house in a forest.
Thanks to the left wing government, we'll get upgraded to 1000/1000 in 1.5 years.
Crazy... 70max is normal everywhere in Germany
80/20 for 30€
But your post animated me to check, so there is one for 100/40 for 20€ now i switched to. Thank you!
250/250Mbit, included in my utilities bill
150Mbps advertised, 170Mbps in reality. 15Mbps up @CAD50/mo.
I had 1Gbps before but I monitored my usage: playing MMOs (<1Mbps, latency is important not bandwidth), watching Netflix (<10Mbps in HD, ~25Mbps if 4K) and minor stuff like Skype. iOS or Linux SW updates run in the background anyway and many servers were limited in their end. Only things that could very rarely max it out were bittorrent which I usually am not in any hurry with anyway, my BT machine runs 24/7. Most of the time my connection was almost idle.
So I downgraded and saved money for more important things. My building is getting a second fiber provider soon but it still starts at CAD70 for 500Mbps, so I'll pass.
1-5Mbps during the day.
It is what it is.
But! If I had smartphone with MediaTek SoC (or root access), I could get 30-40Mbps. Currently I get this by using a VPN 24/7.
:::spoiler Lemmy explain:
My carrier (Swan) only has cell towers in 1800MHz band. They partnered with other carrier (Orange) to extend their coverage. Originally, this was done using so called "National roaming" in 2G and 3G. For purposes of internet connectivity, 2G is irrelevant. This was awesome as I could just manually choose Orange and get faster speeds. Unfortunately, Orange shut down their 3G network, and the license was updated so they now provide Swan with 4G except in 800MHz band.
What's different? It's not done via "National roaming" anymore, but the phone signs into Orange's network natively as Swan, without roaming, and it is not possible to manually select Orange anymore.
So, how would MediaTek help me?
They have "Engineer mode" *#*#3646633#*#* with "Band mode" selection where you can allow specific bands manually.
Remember that Swan only has towers in 1800MHz band? Yep, I could disallow that, and stick to Orange towers (also limiting myself from their B3 towers, but whatever).
I have tested that with my old MediaTek phone, and it works. So it's a functional concept.
(Same thing can be achieved on rooted Qualcomm and app like NSG)
I found one more workaround (no, not using a jammer which would be illegal). I found out that I won't get switched away from Orange as long as there is a continuous connection. So, I can take a bus into area without Swan coverage and connect to a VPN using OpenVPN TCP (didn't help with UDP), and then head back. Important thing is to never disconnect, not even for a second.
That's how I am currently on 2100MHz from Orange. I must stay connected 24/7.

We do not have internet at home, so this is all I have. Overnight downloads go brrr...
960mbps up/down for $75usd/m
Same speed, except they're gouging me for $90 a month over here.
1000/1000. Usually testing will show between 800-960 in both directions.
"Pfft on a good day" mbps
That's only a bit better than "You have been disconnected from the server-network unavailable" 😔
40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.
I'm paying 50eur for 250 in Germany but I'm only getting 10-15 because of the shitty cabling in our house. Yay!
Do you own the house? Both coaxial cable and CAT6 (or CAT5) cable is extremely cheap and doesn't really require any special tools or know-how to run. Obviously I have no idea what your situation is, but it might be worth replacing the cable yourself.
Nope, its an apartment I rent and I can't redo the cabling myself because the building is owned by several parties so the stairwell belongs to everyone and I could be kicked out if I do it without being allowed.
Theoretically? 100. It only works in specific, uncrowded areas, and then only sometimes.
Practically, as in 80% of scenarios? Anywhere from 10 to as low as 0.03. It's bad enough that in some places I can't even load a basic website, as I can't even crack 1mbps. I also often get the "connected, no Internet" crap.
300 mbps, symmetrical, ~30 usd/mo.
5 mbps for 18€/month... Fuck this I'm switching back to pidgeons.
£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 £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 £18/mo.
~1000/1000 (usually more like 1300m on speed tests when wired)

Right now? 10d/1u. There was a post recently about my country coming last in internet speeds in Europe
Germany?
Greece. I thought Germany was much better.
Oh no, it's a shit show thanks to an absolute monopoly of the German Telecom that was only broken a few years ago. Most households have copper wires only, and fiber extension is slow and costly.
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.
250/40 no caps, 70€/month, germany on the edge of a city. The city has fiber but we‘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!
500/500 for around 10 eur per month
I guess Poland? I know from my colleagues that internet infrastructure jumped from old slow stuff to fiber there and it's fairly cheap.
Close enough guess. Russia
1000/1000 @ $C 75
I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000
Which is weird because I'm not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people
Which is weird because I'm not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people
Not weird at all. It’s much easier to run fiber in a small town than in a large city. Cities are denser and more crowded. It’s also more crowded underground. In a city you might have to close streets, you need to be more careful when digging because of all the other stuff underground.
All that makes it cheaper and easier to install fiber in small towns or smaller, less dense cities.

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

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!
'murica?
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).

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.

It was supposed to be 100/100, but I'm getting a speed of 75/85 (in Mbps). I think we paid around ₹3,000 ($36.19, €33.21) for six months. Also, fiber optics.
800 Mb/s download & 10-20 Mb/s upload for $70/mo with a 1 TB data limit here.
100(usually between 700 and 930) down. 75 up
$50 USD in a very expensive city.
depends on the time of day and the status of a particular cable that runs under the ocean. anywhere between 4kbps and 20mbps.
I have a download speed of 3.5 mbps.
I never did an actual benchmark but that's what my system monitor looks like whenever I download something.
500/500 but average 530+ both ways for $50/month. Up to 5 gigabit is available in my area.
EDIT - In the US the FCC just upped what is considered "broadband" to 100/20 , which still seems sad for upload, but at least moving in the right direction. It was an awful 25/3 before.

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.
500 down and 40 up through Spectrum (east coast of the US). I'm always quite surprised with how well WiFi 6 works, I can pull down the full 500 from my Steam Deck and PC - ironically the network transfer is implemented badly as I'll get about 100 down over the local network so it's faster to download over the Internet.
$60/month so, not bad!
1gbps up/down $75/m fiber usa
.... mbps could mean both but one should differ between Mbps and MBps.
100 Mbit (Mbps) enables a max download speed of: 12.5 MBps....
I've never seen transfer rates given in MBps in the wild. It's always Mbps.
Serial network connections give no care to byte alignment, they operate either bit by bit or symbol by symbol (which are rarely byte aligned).
1Gbps symmetrical, business class, because I run my business from my home.

These are the consequences of living in Morocco. Shitty internet. And we still have yet to get 5G.

Australia? I work from home with 25/10. No fibre option where I am. Considering starlink but God damn that cost.
No, Finland. I've got fibre installed to my house but it would cost me 30€/month when 4G is 10€/month so for a frugal person like me it's a nobrainer which I'm going to choose.

Tested at 938.9 down, 26.23 up.
$90 CAD/Month
5G in Paris: 380 down, 90 up. Unlimited calls, SMS and data, 10€/mo.

980/980 fiber, $65/mo in Colorado
3-5MB/s download on my computer, 1-3MB/s on my phone.
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.
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
75/10 over "fixed wireless", fastest available to me. $85 AUD per month.
If I lived 5 minutes closer to town I'd have fiber. The NBN sucks.
Home connection is advertised at 1Gbps, but tests at more like 100Mbps. It's around 65USD/month. This is a good deal for Canada, and probably only possible because it's attached to a much more expensive cable and phone plan.
Edit: Or 1,000,000,000,000 millibits/second per the title, haha.
93mbps, Germany. I could go up to 250mbps but it probably wouldn't work with the copper wires and require a new Fritzbox router.
My last speed test gave me 64/67 Mbps
600 symmetric, $60/mo
500 Mb symmetrical. It's more than enough even while running a home server.

I’m surprised your upload is so low. They recently did some massive speed boosts in many places, 100 for most users and 200 for gigabit or higher.
Maybe I'll have to call in and complain. Seems to be the only time the get things working. I originally got the 1Gig plan because it had the highest available upload they had because I used to sometimes stream. I have an SB8200 so there shouldn't be anything preventing higher uploads.
Wonder if a competitor moved into your area. Only reason Comcast ever seems to make improvements is when a competitor with something better rolls into town.
The better upload requires using their modem/router, or one of the specific users owned ones that are approved by them to work with the mid-split tech. While my old modem could technically do it, it wasn't "approved" for the speed. I was limited on upload to 35 but could usually hit 45 from over provisioning. I had to buy a new modem but now I get 1400/200. They just flipped the switch on being able to use consumer owned hardware at all with the mid-splits this fall.
50/10
Advertised 1000/1000 90usd/month. On wifi, I get around 550/120 but it varies.

1400/45 pretty consistently, no cap, I guess I sadly take top honor for what I pay though having read through most responses :/
$140 USD per month and I have no idea how any of you in North America are posting the speeds you are for so little money per month heh...
500
I believe I pay USD $70/mo for 100 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up. American midwest.
Tends to actually measure around 10%-20% higher than advertised. Just ran some speed tests and got 120/40. Not complaining.
$5/mo or $10/mo of that I think is for renting the modem which I stupidly have not bought yet.
Tops at ~250mbps with Starlink. We barely have internet here otherwise, it was on the order of a handful of kbps. Took the better part of a day to download a couple hundred megabytes... Imagine the change lol
It costs me 70€ a month. They recently lowered their residential offering to 40€ but it's only applicable in mainland France,... we have to shell out the classic 70€

The reliability is horrendous. Pings vary from 200 to few thousand. Sometimes speeds drop below 1Mbps. Double CGNAT. I think my internet is provided by someone in their garage with 15y old equipement over the air.

I live in Norway. Internet is pretty cheap here where there's new development because they add so much fibre when they construct new blocks.
Now my 1000/1000 for 429 SEK (about 40$) doesn't sound as good. At least the candy is cheaper here in Sweden.

But you know Comcast. They try to raise it every year.
2000/2000
1000Mbps each direction. No caps. There's options for faster but it's almost unheard of that I can saturate the link as it is (and nearly all of my hope network doesn't go faster)
I got pretty lucky, there's actually 3 carriers in the area that I can choose from which is probably partly why the options are good. Although I'm paying I think $80/month. I should switch carriers again or try to cancel my current one to try to get a deal, I guess.
1 Tbps ???? Or did you mean to say 1 Gbps / 1000 Mbps ?
Oof. I had fixed a typo but fixed it wrong. Sorry, I'ma dope.
Fixed the fix, thanks.
950 mbit down / 120 mbit up. £70/month. Zen Internet, best ISP in the UK IMHO.
10 Gbps symmetrical for 40 bucks a month TV included. It's absolutely mind boggling for me how expensive internet is in North America.
Jesus, 10Gbps!? I'm paying $90 for "gigaspeed" AT&T fiber. But, I'm luckier than most, I have AT&T fiber and Metronet as fiber providers, as well as Spectrum and T-Mobile (but yuck to using 5G as my primary source of internet).
I know, it kinda sounds crazy, but at the same time it makes sense because after infrastructure the cost for the ISP is minimal. I mean upgrading to 25 Gbps is possible for just 70 bucks, so what can I say. Although my country is comparably small and I do live in the city. So it's not universally like that.
Spectrum near me charges me $79 a month for 400mbit down, and... Get ready... 10mbit up.
I'm in southern San Diego and they have non-compete agreements with the other companies. I can't get anything else.
North America is insane with their internet costs.
Here in VN, I can get unlimited 4G for 40$ a year, and 100mbps symmetrical fiber for about 50$ a year. The biggest provider is the Army. Their customer service is actually pretty fast and good too!
The country is fucking huge to be fair, but it's also the capitalism capital of the world.
Would have great internet too if the telecommunication companies didn't just pocket the money for installing fiber infrastructure. Twice.
The country can be huge but most people live in urban areas now, it's not like they've gotta waste time and money running fiber all over north dakota. We're talking cities with populations that rival some countries.
Which country? Some of the countries in North America aren't huge.
Country (noun):
an area of land considered in relation to a particular feature
North America country.

That's awful, I'm sorry :(
Is your ISP's infrastructure based on RFC 1149?
IPoD actually has really high throughput.
According to wikipedia Carrier pigeons typically travel ~1000km at ~100km/h and can carry 75g comfortably. a microsd card weighs about 0.5g and we have 1Tb ones now so our pigeon could carry about 150Tb per trip (sidenote that'll cost ~20K so packet loss would really suck) . that's an impressive 33Gb/s at the 1000km range. the 30million ms ping might be annoying though.
relevant XKCD
This really needs an update for each carrier to transport multiple packets at once.
Based on RFC2549 it seems each carrier can transport up to 10g. That's roughly 40 MicroSD cards. The current largest MicroSD cards are 2TB, so that's 80TB/carrier. It seems the smallest response time is 3,000s.
That means the theoretical top transfer rate could be roughly 213Gbps.
Edit: Although it seems the carriers could do as much as 75g. That's 300 MicroSD cards or 600TB. At 5km that makes 1.6Tbps!
Not to mention it needs a security update. Gotta figure out a way to encrypt those pigeons!
17mbps (Neighbour's Wifi).

1000 up and down. Fiber is great. Actually having competition instead of a Comcast monopoly in my area is amazing.
The one downside when I bought was only Comcast in the area. 6 months in, Att fiber got dropped in. Now I'm with you!
1000/1000 for like $3 a month. But that's with the caveat of living in China, where I need a VPN to access most western websites, so that's my bottleneck.
Domestically I can get the full bandwidth when streaming (ton of English content available for cheap), but once I need to use the VPN it drops to maybe 200-300 mbit, depending on the server and current utilization.
Moving to Malaysia in less than 2 months where I can get 2gbit for about $90 (tested at my friend's house), but honestly I think I'll settle on 500. It's more than I can realistically use in a 2 person household, and it's like 20 bucks.
500 is the sweet spot, at least for downloads. I have it and it's fast enough for all my needs. Upload can be less, although I'd love to have more than the current 50. Good luck with your move!
Thanks a lot! Will be an interesting journey for sure.
And yeah that's what I thought, I had 100 asymmetrical before when living alone, and thought there's still room for improvement, but it's a declining balance really. My friend has a 4 person household and never even came close to utilizing his full bandwidth, he basically told me he took the biggest package just because he could.
Mine is supposed to be 100 / 100 and actually is. In Vietnam, symmetrical fiber-to-the-home is actually pretty common. I think I pay 5$ a month, or maybe a bit less.
Damn. It surprises me how many people here are from VN.
I've only encountered one other! I might still be the only VN Lemmy instance, but probably not. I used to be.
Heyyo, I'm from Hanoi!
Neat! Despite immigrating here 12 years ago, I've only been to Ha Noi once! Everyone here in HCMC made a big fuss about warning me about scams, but everyone I met was fine, and no such thing occurred. Perhaps ironically, my inlaws hometown is near Ha Noi :P
That was also the first time I had egg coffee, which I really enjoy these days. Sword lake was pretty nice too. I'd go back one day for sure!
Kind of crazy that Vietnam can provide better Internet service to their citizens than the US. Not to disparage Vietnam in any way, but you'd think a country with the largest economy in human history would be able to keep up.
Well, usually competition creates more efficient prices. So I guess somehow your telecoms companies are using strategies to avoid competing somehow.
On our end, we still have quite some parts of the economy that are planned. For example, I applied for my business license according to a particular 5-year plan, and there are only certain areas of the economy I'm allowed to participate in. I can't just one day pick up and decide that I'm going to start a butter factory or something.
The best Internet provider is literally the Army, but they weren't granted a monopoly. The post office and three or four other major providers exist in every city. So there's actually quite a healthy competition for customers, it seems this too was planned for. Things don't always work out this well, but at least for Internet it worked out pretty great.
As an aside, back when there wasn't enough money to fund State organs, they would sometimes be granted profitable businesses to stay afloat. Some bits of this are left -- you can stay at a beach hotel run by the police department in at least one city. It always seemed to me a smart way to get the country out of a bad situation. This is why the Army or the Post Office are licensed to to a bunch of profitable consumer services.
The US could keep up, but then that means that telecoms would make less money, so obviously that is a non-starter.

It was a long road, getting from there to here.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing′s in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna hold me down
STANDIN' TALL
On the wings of my dream
It's my life, my dream, Nothing's gonna stop me now
...right?
Those are some pretty round numbers. What your isp tells you or what your router pulls?
My router actually can't keep up Even with deep packet inspection and all the security features turned off I can't crack 1700. If I connect directly to their provided router I get the full 2K. (I have a first version unifi dream machine pro, the SE supposedly handles it just fine).
Not sure about router not keeping up. I pull 1800s on the down but often break 2000 on the up. I believe it's legit not any ceiling on my hardware.
He just said if he takes the router out of the picture he gets the full 2Mbps, that's a pretty solid data point.
I believe it. The Unifi routers aren't the most powerful. And they've had their share of bugs. I had a couple firmware updates where my USGs couldn't even keep up with the 300Mbps I had at the time.
10 GBit symmetrical. Which is a bit useless, since my motherboard only supports 1 GBit, but it's good to be ready for the future, I suppose.
You could get a 10 Gbps network card for under $100
And ensure the router and the ethernet cable support that. But yeah.
I could, but in reality, I barely ever max out even the 1 GBit. Steam is probably the only service that comes to mind. And whether I download a new game in 10 minutes or 1 minute doesn't really matter...
I cant even max out my 1gbit with steam because they use compression and my CPU just cant decompress fast enough.
You just need 9 more PCs with the same motherboard on em!
I absolutely have to do that. This is the kind of valuable insight I can only get in a place like Lemmy!
I pay for 1000/50, I get more like 500/50 which is fine by me. Costs 80CAD a month.
Since you are so cool paying for things you don't receive I'd love to sell you some crypto. I'll sell you 4 coins ether for the price of 8 coin.
75/15
Everyone around me is getting fiber, but I'm on a private/unadopted road, so not for me 😭
Still better than what I have.
My day job is building ISP networks. It's been about 20 years since I had a home connection that I didn't configure up both ends of myself.
I've got a 1G / 500M tail into home where I am right now, not that that is particularly impressive. One of the jobs I've been putting off at work is standardising our usage of the 10G GPON platform available here in NZ, when I do that I'll get one of the >1G tails to use at home.
Usually the answer is how ever much I can be bothered building, but my usage is pretty low.
You can come around to my-place and upgrade me.
In saying that we were the first install of fibre in our village. Got a call the wee before it was meant to be installed something like “we have just turned on the fiver network, you are just around the corner from us you want us to install today?”
How's the rollout of the 10G stuff going? Seems like it's been coming "soon" for the last couple of years. Not that I could actually make use of 10G down.
We did an address check when we could first order it and about a third of the folks in the office could get it about a year and a half ago. I know the majority of the address checks that we do for commercial locations in tenders come up positive now.
It is not cheap to get an off the shelf router that does a solid job of forwarding multiple gigabits and the vast majority of folks ( me included ) probably will rarely notice the difference outside of speed tests. The last firewall build that I did for home was with a pair of virtual Linux boxes with 10G interfaces just so I could do a 2G or 4G GPON upgrade later on without having to throw everything out.
In New Zealand it seems like 10G GPON services are mostly cannibalizing high quality lit ethernet services at 1G and 10G subrate rather than replacing consumer tails. So more likely a business is going from spending $1500 a month on uncontended 1G to spending $400 a month on contended 4G, rather than a residential user going from spending $150 on 1000/500 to $280 on 2000/2000.
1000mbps symmetric, $500/mo (yeah I know...)
Bro what.
I live pretty rural and no service providers had any desire or plans to expand service to where I am. Best offering was 768kbps DSL.
I'm in a little bit of a valley with a ton of huge trees, so Starlink would cut out every 10-15 minutes. Cellular internet was...okay...but not fast enough for my needs.
I ended up paying a provider to dig a trench from a distant main road to my property and bury a fiber line direct for my use. It has a 99.99999% uptime guarantee which is nice.
I'll be paying for it for 10 years....but honestly, worth it.
Holy shit ! you'll be paying 500$/month for ten years ? Yea, I imagine I would do that too, given the dough
Sadly, yeah. Moved out here mid-COVID and I really don't anticipate needing to move (got a good chunk of land, it's quiet, farm animals, etc.) and I can do my job remote so the internet was definitely necessary. But we'll see where life takes me.
60K in 10 years is not very expensive if you didn’t have to pay for the digging itself. That could easily be as expensive without any service. Now I don’t know what happens after your current contract though, whether it will be reduced or if you have options to switch providers…
Supposedly it drops to something like $60/mo (in today's dollars). The rest is actually me having agreed to subsidize the digging itself. I just looked again it's actually 8 years, so on the whole I still feel like it was worth it.
In fact, I remember them telling me they went way over budget on the project so I'm actually underpaying (we signed agreements prior to them breaking ground). So I guess that aligns.
Good one. And your commune wouldn't pay for any of it ?
Not sure what you mean by commune?
I'm not sure... the town ? district maybe ?
Ohhh okay, sorry, I wasn't sure if by commune you meant I lived in a multi-family commune - which I don't.
Unfortunately, no, the actual town I live in address-wise has a whopping population of about 1000 people but that's spread out over multiple multiple acres of farmland. And on top of that I'm on the edge of said town boundaries. If I lived in the town itself I would have had access to fiber internet without having to get a line trenched, unfortunately, I don't.
Because it only benefits my property, no subsidies or anything available.
I see. Well you still made a good investment
Got any neighbours who might pay for some of that?
Not close enough, no. Though I was briefly looking into offering something using some high-powered point to point hardware, just haven't really done it yet.
"250 symmetrical", but my router usually reports around 270ish each way. Recently moved somewhere with fiber to the home.
Previously the cable co I was with kept sending notifications that they had "upgraded" my service. I went from like 100mbps down to like 300 down with them, but they never changed the 10mbps up...
~90/30 (paying for 100/40).
That's considered pretty good for our shit Aussie FTTN (VDSL) network.
Fibre upgrades are happening.
48/16 here. Something like that with almost 80 a month.
AUD?
Shop around, change providers whenever you find a better deal, it barely takes an hour, I'm paying $68 for unlimited.
Melbourne Australia: ~75/30mbps. Was getting 1000/1000 at my last place near the city, but we bought a house in a forest.
Thanks to the left wing government, we'll get upgraded to 1000/1000 in 1.5 years.
Crazy... 70max is normal everywhere in Germany
80/20 for 30€
But your post animated me to check, so there is one for 100/40 for 20€ now i switched to. Thank you!
250/250Mbit, included in my utilities bill
150Mbps advertised, 170Mbps in reality. 15Mbps up @CAD50/mo.
I had 1Gbps before but I monitored my usage: playing MMOs (<1Mbps, latency is important not bandwidth), watching Netflix (<10Mbps in HD, ~25Mbps if 4K) and minor stuff like Skype. iOS or Linux SW updates run in the background anyway and many servers were limited in their end. Only things that could very rarely max it out were bittorrent which I usually am not in any hurry with anyway, my BT machine runs 24/7. Most of the time my connection was almost idle.
So I downgraded and saved money for more important things. My building is getting a second fiber provider soon but it still starts at CAD70 for 500Mbps, so I'll pass.
1-5Mbps during the day.
It is what it is.
But! If I had smartphone with MediaTek SoC (or root access), I could get 30-40Mbps. Currently I get this by using a VPN 24/7. :::spoiler Lemmy explain:
My carrier (Swan) only has cell towers in 1800MHz band. They partnered with other carrier (Orange) to extend their coverage. Originally, this was done using so called "National roaming" in 2G and 3G. For purposes of internet connectivity, 2G is irrelevant. This was awesome as I could just manually choose Orange and get faster speeds. Unfortunately, Orange shut down their 3G network, and the license was updated so they now provide Swan with 4G except in 800MHz band.
What's different? It's not done via "National roaming" anymore, but the phone signs into Orange's network natively as Swan, without roaming, and it is not possible to manually select Orange anymore.
So, how would MediaTek help me?
They have "Engineer mode"
*#*#3646633#*#*with "Band mode" selection where you can allow specific bands manually.Remember that Swan only has towers in 1800MHz band? Yep, I could disallow that, and stick to Orange towers (also limiting myself from their B3 towers, but whatever).
I have tested that with my old MediaTek phone, and it works. So it's a functional concept.
(Same thing can be achieved on rooted Qualcomm and app like NSG)
I found one more workaround (no, not using a jammer which would be illegal). I found out that I won't get switched away from Orange as long as there is a continuous connection. So, I can take a bus into area without Swan coverage and connect to a VPN using OpenVPN TCP (didn't help with UDP), and then head back. Important thing is to never disconnect, not even for a second.
That's how I am currently on 2100MHz from Orange. I must stay connected 24/7. :::
We do not have internet at home, so this is all I have. Overnight downloads go brrr...
960mbps up/down for $75usd/m
Same speed, except they're gouging me for $90 a month over here.
1000/1000. Usually testing will show between 800-960 in both directions.
"Pfft on a good day" mbps
That's only a bit better than "You have been disconnected from the server-network unavailable" 😔
40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.
I'm paying 50eur for 250 in Germany but I'm only getting 10-15 because of the shitty cabling in our house. Yay!
Do you own the house? Both coaxial cable and CAT6 (or CAT5) cable is extremely cheap and doesn't really require any special tools or know-how to run. Obviously I have no idea what your situation is, but it might be worth replacing the cable yourself.
Nope, its an apartment I rent and I can't redo the cabling myself because the building is owned by several parties so the stairwell belongs to everyone and I could be kicked out if I do it without being allowed.
Theoretically? 100. It only works in specific, uncrowded areas, and then only sometimes.
Practically, as in 80% of scenarios? Anywhere from 10 to as low as 0.03. It's bad enough that in some places I can't even load a basic website, as I can't even crack 1mbps. I also often get the "connected, no Internet" crap.
300 mbps, symmetrical, ~30 usd/mo.
5 mbps for 18€/month... Fuck this I'm switching back to pidgeons.
£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 £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 £18/mo.
~1000/1000 (usually more like 1300m on speed tests when wired)
$55/month here in the Northeast USA
Data cap?
Nope
On a good day, about 30 down / 5 up. I can't Wait to move somewhere where I can get good internet
Right now? 10d/1u. There was a post recently about my country coming last in internet speeds in Europe
Germany?
Greece. I thought Germany was much better.
Oh no, it's a shit show thanks to an absolute monopoly of the German Telecom that was only broken a few years ago. Most households have copper wires only, and fiber extension is slow and costly.
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.
250/40 no caps, 70€/month, germany on the edge of a city. The city has fiber but we‘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!
500/500 for around 10 eur per month
I guess Poland? I know from my colleagues that internet infrastructure jumped from old slow stuff to fiber there and it's fairly cheap.
Close enough guess. Russia
1000/1000 @ $C 75
I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000
Which is weird because I'm not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people
Not weird at all. It’s much easier to run fiber in a small town than in a large city. Cities are denser and more crowded. It’s also more crowded underground. In a city you might have to close streets, you need to be more careful when digging because of all the other stuff underground.
All that makes it cheaper and easier to install fiber in small towns or smaller, less dense cities.

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

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!
'murica?
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).

1.2 Gbps at fast.com. Very lucky to live in a location that offers fiber.
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.
300/300 here. $40
403 down, 10 up. That's mobile, it's all I have. In the UK it costs £10/month

150/150 fiber.
300mbit for 17€ a month in germany
No way.
Student dorm. I don't think they are actually making a lot of money of me, but it's simple advertising.
Pay for fiber 300, actual is about 365 each way
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.
50/6 :( 'Murca!
It was supposed to be 100/100, but I'm getting a speed of 75/85 (in Mbps). I think we paid around ₹3,000 ($36.19, €33.21) for six months. Also, fiber optics.
800 Mb/s download & 10-20 Mb/s upload for $70/mo with a 1 TB data limit here.
100(usually between 700 and 930) down. 75 up
$50 USD in a very expensive city.
depends on the time of day and the status of a particular cable that runs under the ocean. anywhere between 4kbps and 20mbps.
I have a download speed of 3.5 mbps.
I never did an actual benchmark but that's what my system monitor looks like whenever I download something.
500/500 but average 530+ both ways for $50/month. Up to 5 gigabit is available in my area.
EDIT - In the US the FCC just upped what is considered "broadband" to 100/20 , which still seems sad for upload, but at least moving in the right direction. It was an awful 25/3 before.

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.
500 down and 40 up through Spectrum (east coast of the US). I'm always quite surprised with how well WiFi 6 works, I can pull down the full 500 from my Steam Deck and PC - ironically the network transfer is implemented badly as I'll get about 100 down over the local network so it's faster to download over the Internet.
$60/month so, not bad!
1gbps up/down $75/m fiber usa
.... mbps could mean both but one should differ between Mbps and MBps.
100 Mbit (Mbps) enables a max download speed of: 12.5 MBps....
I've never seen transfer rates given in MBps in the wild. It's always Mbps.
Serial network connections give no care to byte alignment, they operate either bit by bit or symbol by symbol (which are rarely byte aligned).
1Gbps symmetrical, business class, because I run my business from my home.
940/940 unlimited for ~$90/month in Western Canada
About 5 to 10mbps down. If a post has like 20 embedded images, I have to wait a whole 3 minutes for all of them to load.
Don't even get me started on upload speeds. Unless it's uploaded to Instagram, it always takes FOREVER.
These are the consequences of living in Morocco. Shitty internet. And we still have yet to get 5G.
Chiming in from a third world country. Just did a speedtest. On LTE right now i get 100 down 60 up, 500GB/month for 35$ a year =).

On average around 40/5 depending of the day. I've got an option for fibre aswell but 4G is much cheaper
Australia? I work from home with 25/10. No fibre option where I am. Considering starlink but God damn that cost.
No, Finland. I've got fibre installed to my house but it would cost me 30€/month when 4G is 10€/month so for a frugal person like me it's a nobrainer which I'm going to choose.
500/50 mbps FTTH for €40/month in Ireland.
it's supposed to be 100mb/s but in reality it's about 0.5mb/s, I've seen it drop as low as 5kb/s (my landlord is a cheapscate and won't replace the busted wifi extender in my uni dorm block)

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.
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
75/10 over "fixed wireless", fastest available to me. $85 AUD per month. If I lived 5 minutes closer to town I'd have fiber. The NBN sucks.
Home connection is advertised at 1Gbps, but tests at more like 100Mbps. It's around 65USD/month. This is a good deal for Canada, and probably only possible because it's attached to a much more expensive cable and phone plan.
Edit: Or 1,000,000,000,000 millibits/second per the title, haha.
93mbps, Germany. I could go up to 250mbps but it probably wouldn't work with the copper wires and require a new Fritzbox router.
My last speed test gave me 64/67 Mbps

I’m surprised your upload is so low. They recently did some massive speed boosts in many places, 100 for most users and 200 for gigabit or higher.
Maybe I'll have to call in and complain. Seems to be the only time the get things working. I originally got the 1Gig plan because it had the highest available upload they had because I used to sometimes stream. I have an SB8200 so there shouldn't be anything preventing higher uploads.
Wonder if a competitor moved into your area. Only reason Comcast ever seems to make improvements is when a competitor with something better rolls into town.
The better upload requires using their modem/router, or one of the specific users owned ones that are approved by them to work with the mid-split tech. While my old modem could technically do it, it wasn't "approved" for the speed. I was limited on upload to 35 but could usually hit 45 from over provisioning. I had to buy a new modem but now I get 1400/200. They just flipped the switch on being able to use consumer owned hardware at all with the mid-splits this fall.

Advertised 1000/1000 90usd/month. On wifi, I get around 550/120 but it varies.

1400/45 pretty consistently, no cap, I guess I sadly take top honor for what I pay though having read through most responses :/
$140 USD per month and I have no idea how any of you in North America are posting the speeds you are for so little money per month heh...
500
I believe I pay USD $70/mo for 100 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up. American midwest.
Tends to actually measure around 10%-20% higher than advertised. Just ran some speed tests and got 120/40. Not complaining.
$5/mo or $10/mo of that I think is for renting the modem which I stupidly have not bought yet.
Tops at ~250mbps with Starlink. We barely have internet here otherwise, it was on the order of a handful of kbps. Took the better part of a day to download a couple hundred megabytes... Imagine the change lol
It costs me 70€ a month. They recently lowered their residential offering to 40€ but it's only applicable in mainland France,... we have to shell out the classic 70€

The reliability is horrendous. Pings vary from 200 to few thousand. Sometimes speeds drop below 1Mbps. Double CGNAT. I think my internet is provided by someone in their garage with 15y old equipement over the air.

I live in Norway. Internet is pretty cheap here where there's new development because they add so much fibre when they construct new blocks.
Now my 1000/1000 for 429 SEK (about 40$) doesn't sound as good. At least the candy is cheaper here in Sweden.

1000Mbps each direction. No caps. There's options for faster but it's almost unheard of that I can saturate the link as it is (and nearly all of my hope network doesn't go faster)
I got pretty lucky, there's actually 3 carriers in the area that I can choose from which is probably partly why the options are good. Although I'm paying I think $80/month. I should switch carriers again or try to cancel my current one to try to get a deal, I guess.
1 Tbps ???? Or did you mean to say 1 Gbps / 1000 Mbps ?
Oof. I had fixed a typo but fixed it wrong. Sorry, I'ma dope.
Fixed the fix, thanks.
