These threads always just reinforce how much of a cunt Helmut Kohl was, god damn
Edit:
Bit of context in case people who come across this comment don't know, Helmut Kohl was the german chancellor from 1982-1998.
He completely trashed his predecessors plans for nationwide fiber in order to advance TV instead. Now it's 2023 and a staggering 19% of all households are connected via fiber.
600 down / 20 up for $95 in western PA. My area only has one option, Comcast. So they can basically make the price whatever that want. The other side of town also has FiOS and of course the same Comcast plan is $60 there. I hate it so much
I'm located in a van in New Zealand so I only use mobile data. I pay NZ$40 (US$25) per month for "unlimited" data, which is all I can eat but capped at 1Mbps. I can stream 720p barely, but I mostly torrent. I typically use about 60-80GB a month.
Outside of Washington, DC; About $90/mo for what’s-sold-as 1200 down, 40 up on Comcast. Realistically I max out at 800-1100mbit down and usually get 42mbit up.
€13/month, 300GB, theoretical speeds are 73Mbps download and 25Mbps upload, but usually a little under that.
Ok, maybe not just a little. Image link for compatibility
This was the most worth-it way to access internet. Probably explains why I am the only one who thinks school internet is fast while others do quite the opposite.
I'm about to move away but currently I cheat Comcast out of gig pro in the Boston area for the price of regular gig service, $90/mo for fiber to the basement, 2gig symmetric sfp+ and a separate 1gig symmetric rj45. Highly recommend if you can avoid paying the full $300/mo price (not sure if the full price has changed in 5 years but that's what it would have been if I didn't confuse the fuck out of customer support to get them to incorrectly bill me). I've tested both lines simultaneously and was able to max out both at a combined 3gig up/down using 2 simultaneous speed tests.
Until a couple of weeks ago, in Brunswick GA, sad down and pitiful up through AT&T, along with easy-to-exceed bandwidth caps (for wired internet!) that twice hit us with large overage fees. That was about 80 or 90 before extra fees, although phone service was included too. Now we're going with a regional fiber optic outfit that offers about 500 down and up, for about $50/mo.
10Gbps for 10 euro/month with no data caps. I know it's insane and I don't need anywhere near that much but it was just 1 euro more than the 1gbps plan so I was practically forced to take it :).
Ontario, Canada
$82 after taxes for 400/200
A second fiber provider is coming to my street (doing locates now) and they are $82 after tax for 1000/1000.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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!
$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.
Southeastern PA. I have 1000 down/1000 up fiber to the home for $90 a month. Seeing people get these speeds for under $20 makes me both envious, hopeful that things can be improved, and depressed at the state of the regional monopolies here in the US.
Here's hoping we can make municipal fiber viable going forward.
$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
800 down 35 up, $70 1.2 tb/month cap in Portland. I tried to switch over to century link but the installer said my apartment is too old. They've got 1gbps up and down for $70.
10000 ARS (~20 USD) for 200/20Mbps FTTH in Argentina. Public dinamic IPv4 only and no plans for IPv6 yet. Before that, I had a cooper pair line at 10/1Mbps for the same price.
EDIT: No data caps.
$65CAD for 300Mbit fiber. Just clocked it with a speed test at 350/480, which is weird. I don't really trust any speed tests though. Worst part is that we reliably lose connection every time it rains heavily. Brought it up with the ISP and they have just blown me off so far.
I pay for 500Mbps down and 50Mbps up, with no caps. Though, I often get a little more than that. I’m in the UK, with Virgin. My plan also comes with a SIM card with unlimited calls, SMS, and capped 2GB data (5G capable). All told I pay about £34, which is roughly $44.
It costs about $27.52 for about 185Mbps download and 84.1Mbps upload of fiber internet, Philippines. My parents are paying for it, and they chose the cheapest plan.
$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.
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.
1000Mb/s symmetric FTTP, unlimited data for £29/mo, though I'm currently paying £1/mo as part of a promotion from YouFibre. Speeds as advertised, especially moving data to my server at work which is also on YouFibre - it's like being on-site.
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.
I'm paying $220us/month for 10/10 DSL (which is the best I can get where I live). Most of the time I'm lucky to get 2/2 on this line because our copper is in such bad shape.
100 mbps for 999 inr a month ~10 usd in india but I somehow get around 220 mpbs on the same plan :P
altough there is also a plan for 1000 mpbs for 4000 inr ~50 usd
50/50 from ziply fiber in Oregon. I think it is around 60-90$ a month but I don’t pay the bill.
Edit: checked with my dad and we pay 60$ a month for that
