14mb down 22up atm

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

300 mbps, symmetrical, ~30 usd/mo.

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.

100Mbps symmetrical FTTH for $11/month. I get 120Mbps in real world scenarios(P2P, Good DDL servers) maybe due to Dual Stack Lite ISP?

960mbps up/down for $75usd/m

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Same speed, except they're gouging me for $90 a month over here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

$80/month for 300Mbps down/10 Mbps up, Southeastern US. Consistently get higher download speeds than advertised, currently around 350Mbps. Upload speed is never more than 10Mbps.

β‰ˆ20/10 1km away from the closest cable. 20 EUR/month.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

900Mb down, 450Mb up. Unlimited data.

$55 USD per month here in New Zealand

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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] 4 points 11 months ago

3.6mbps/3.4mbps unlimited, $50 a month. At least, that's what speedtest.net says it is at the moment. I think it's supposed to be 6, but such is the life of the countryside.

940/940 unlimited for ~$90/month in Western Canada

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

400 mbps down / 20 up @ $60 But you know Comcast. They try to raise it every year.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

Is the North Korean currency called Lost?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

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.

500 down maybe 50 up I forgot the up speed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

980/980 fiber, $65/mo in Colorado

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Crazy... 70max is normal everywhere in Germany

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

1Gbps down, 0.7Gbps up.

Well that's a lie actually as some workers have cut the line thursday and it's down to 100Mbps down and a ridiculous 1.5Mbps up over a 4G link :-/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

depends on the time of day and the status of a particular cable that runs under the ocean. anywhere between 4kbps and 20mbps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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
