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.

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.
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...
I pay for 1000/50, I get more like 500/50 which is fine by me. Costs 80CAD a month.
"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...
My isp contract is 300mbps but I only get 172 on average.

That's awful, I'm sorry :(
Is your ISP's infrastructure based on RFC 1149?

681 down 43.9 up. Not as fast as I pay for by a few hundred Mbps, but it gets the job done ;-)οΏΌ
Pay for 500/500 but am eligible to get as high as 1500/1500. Don't really see the need. Ping to Boston is almost always 7-14ms. Really lucky to be able to get fibre to the home after so many years of piss poor unreliable cable that would go down weekly
Pay for fiber 300, actual is about 365 each way
millibits per second?
Theoretical or actual?
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

Those are some pretty round numbers. What your isp tells you or what your router pulls?

It was a long road, getting from there to here.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothingβ²s in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna hold me down
