150 Mb FTTH for $90 in Newfoundland

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

T-mobile home internet in northern Virginia, just across the river from Washington DC.

50 USD a month for about 400Mbps down/20Mbps up. For me it was a much better deal FIOS or Comcast and the service is generally pretty good, but in my location it meant dealing with with latency that spikes up to 80+ ms every now and again.

Verizon 5G, $35/month for the 300 mbps / 20 up plan (my needs are not huge, this does the TV streaming and the zoom meetings just fine).

Somerville MA. Was previously paying 3x that for crappy Astound service at half the speed.

£30 a month for gigabit unlimited usage. UK. Connection is rock solid.

1000 down, 1000 up for $80 (was $70 until last year) with AT&T.

Australia, 1000 down but only 50 up, AUD$140 per month, there are slightly cheaper plans available but the guys i'm with are super good to deal with.

Considering switching to 250/100 for the better upload but its $200 per month which is just silly.

$55USD (after taxes/fees) for 50/10 (very consistent). I could get gigabit for $125, but we don't need it and I'd need to upgrade my network to support it. My city is rolling out fiber over the next couple of years, so I'll probably wait until I know more before I upgrade my network.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

$80 1Gbps symmetrical fiber. Speed tests are usually 800+ down/1Gb up, but usually can get 1Gb down on steam games. Portland, Or

[–] Feliberto 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Rural Oregon. 1gbps up and down. $600/month. I never go below ~930mbps each way.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

1000/1000 Mbps fiber for $43 in Denmark, no data cap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

500M/250M $80/month

Seriously overpriced here. I used to pay $25 for fiber 1G/1G

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

In Ontario, Canada, 500/500 fibre from Bell. I pay $60/month, though this is a promotional rate for 2 years. I think I will be paying double after the 2 years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"Rural" Texas (about an hour from a big city) and the only thing we have available is ADSL at 10/1 mbps on a good day. I'm paying $65 and as long as we don't stram 2 things at once it works!

1000/1000 fiber line but we sub to the 500/500 rate since that’s more than enough for the 5 of us in Colorado. We pay $60 month to month. No cap. We can move between two services, change the speed any time, and even turn it off whenever. Real world tops out at 500/500 on wired. Wireless on 6 not E is 420/250.

I only need a mobile data, no cap, 5-10 mbps for 4$/mo in East Russia.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

$135cad for 15mbps. Rural life has its downsides

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

25€/month for up to 1000mbps upload & 1000mbps download fiber glass in small town near Amsterdam, Netherlands.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

My internet is shit but it's cheap. 19 usd a month for 40mbps down and 5 up. It's cheap enough that I can't complain really.

$100/month, 1200/40mbps. Wish I had fiber for better upload speed, but happy with the download. Allegedly, Xfinity is increasing upload speed sometime this year, but there was an announcement for that same thing last year

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

$90 a month for gigabit from cox in Southern California. Shits great and I only have the occasional few minutes of downtime in the middle of the night when nobody should be on the internet anyways, biggest downside is I only get 100 upload. They’ve treated me right so far and I plan to continue their service.

Sorry about the shilling they’re just good.

1250/40, $90/mo, Suburb if Denver, CO. Comcast. 1TB data cap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

1000/1000 Google Fiber $40/month (since I'm broke the government covers half). Utah, US

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

1000Mb/s symmetric FTTP, unlimited data for £29/mo, though I'm currently paying £1/mo as part of a promotion from YouFibre.

I've also got an unlimited data SIM card as a backup. Speeds vary but it's usually over 800Mb/s down and 200Mb/s up. That's £15/mo from Three.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

UK, 900 Mbps for £35

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

$90 for 100/20 in Sydney, Australia. I have FttP, but can't come up with a legitimate need for >100mbs at the moment

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Usa, FL. $120/month for AT&T gigabytes fiber. Tho best I’ve seen is like 900mbps both ways.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

CAD$80/mo for gigabit down and up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

ATT fiber just rolled out to my neighborhood so we're switching to that from Comcast.

Our bill had apparently gone up so we were paying $110 / month for I believe 600 or 800 down but we get significantly less than that.

With ATT it's 1Gig down for $80
