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.
93mbps, Germany. I could go up to 250mbps but it probably wouldn't work with the copper wires and require a new Fritzbox router.
34230000000mbps (mili bits per second)(I love SI units) down and 17080000000mbps up
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.
950 mbit down / 120 mbit up. Β£70/month. Zen Internet, best ISP in the UK IMHO.
250/250Mbit, included in my utilities bill
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 mill basis points?
42Mb up 35Mb down
200/30, but will get 1000/1000 this year
1000/1000 27ish usd month
500mbps at Β£35 per month with the first 3 months free. In the UK and not the first time with provider. Took me an hour of haggling on the phone, the trick was to pretend I found a better deal elsewhere but wished to stick with my provider.
800/250
My promo deal is about to end but Iβve been paying $50/month for it for 2 years now.
250/40 no caps, 70β¬/month, germany on the edge of a city. The city has fiber but weβre 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!
1000mbps / $100 / month
400 for approx 40 usd
My last speed test gave me 64/67 Mbps
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 $90 (tested at my friend's house), but honestly I think I'll settle on 500. It's more than I can realistically use in a 2 person household, and it's like 20 bucks.
500 is the sweet spot, at least for downloads. I have it and it's fast enough for all my needs. Upload can be less, although I'd love to have more than the current 50. Good luck with your move!
Thanks a lot! Will be an interesting journey for sure.
And yeah that's what I thought, I had 100 asymmetrical before when living alone, and thought there's still room for improvement, but it's a declining balance really. My friend has a 4 person household and never even came close to utilizing his full bandwidth, he basically told me he took the biggest package just because he could.
500/500 for around 10 eur per month
I guess Poland? I know from my colleagues that internet infrastructure jumped from old slow stuff to fiber there and it's fairly cheap.
Close enough guess. Russia
In a relatively small US city, 600/600 mbps fiber and I actually get it 24/7. I could get 1200, 2400 or even 5000 but I donβt see any point. Heck I can get 700/35 on my iPhone (overnight).
50 (not sure how much UP, maybe 10) at home It's the cheapest option from my ISP (they offer up to 600) but I don't really need more
Mine is supposed to be 100 / 100 and actually is. In Vietnam, symmetrical fiber-to-the-home is actually pretty common. I think I pay 5$ a month, or maybe a bit less.

Starlink. Between 20 down, to 380 down, depending on where I am. Have never gone higher.
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 30β¬/month when 4G is 10β¬/month so for a frugal person like me it's a nobrainer which I'm going to choose.
40/40
.... mbps could mean both but one should differ between Mbps and MBps.
100 Mbit (Mbps) enables a max download speed of: 12.5 MBps....
