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.

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.

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

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

[–] easydnesto@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

$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.

[–] kaelig@lemmy.kaelig.ovh 2 points 2 years ago

16€ for 1000Mb down 60 up by cable in France. It's a good price here

[–] Feliberto@programming.dev 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

500/500 fiber for $54.99 in a small town on the edge of the Dallas, TX metroplex.

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.

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

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Gleddified@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Riven@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

150 Mb FTTH for $90 in Newfoundland

[–] raubarno@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Rootiest@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

500M/250M $80/month

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

[–] freeman@lemmy.pub 2 points 2 years ago

93/month. 400 down/12 up. 1.2 TB data cap.

[–] clb92@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Whisper06@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] nonearther@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

UK, 900 Mbps for £35

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] SomeGuyNamedPaul@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I have two services load balanced by my router because reliability isn't so great.

Fiber claimed to be 500/500 for $55 but includes the home phone and runs at about 360/560.

Cable 500/? for $40, runs at about 550/29.

[–] cazool@blip.cf 1 points 2 years ago

Gigabit for cheap. Service provider employee plan has its perks.

[–] DonJefe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Austin, Texas, US. 2Gbps down 1Gbps up for $100 a month with Google Fiber

[–] UsernameLost@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

$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

[–] harpuajim@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

$100 USD/mo for FiOS "gigabit" in NY which is actually 940mbps up/down. Pretty satisfied with got tho.

[–] ButtholeAnnihilator@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] useless@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.
