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

5 mbps for 18€/month... Fuck this I'm switching back to pidgeons.

[–] Patchwork@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

~1000/1000 (usually more like 1300m on speed tests when wired)

$55/month here in the Northeast USA

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

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.

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.

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

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

[–] TheBeege@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

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 don’t see any point. Heck I can get 700/35 on my iPhone (overnight).

[–] nebm51@drlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

500/500 for around 10 eur per month

300/300 here. $40

[–] theparadox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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?

403 down, 10 up. That's mobile, it's all I have. In the UK it costs Β£10/month

[–] rockyTron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

980/980 fiber, $65/mo in Colorado

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

[–] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

600/100 in-home fiber, for 79zΕ‚/mo (~19€) In practice it’s hitting something like 630/120

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago
[–] SpeedLimit55@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Pay for fiber 300, actual is about 365 each way

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

3-5MB/s download on my computer, 1-3MB/s on my phone.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year 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

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] moitoi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

1000 symmetric + true unlimited mobile data in best effort/calls/SMS + TV and replay for 54chf (60$ / 56€)

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

it's supposed to be 100mb/s but in reality it's about 0.5mb/s, I've seen it drop as low as 5kb/s (my landlord is a cheapscate and won't replace the busted wifi extender in my uni dorm block)

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

About 5 to 10mbps down. If a post has like 20 embedded images, I have to wait a whole 3 minutes for all of them to load.

Don't even get me started on upload speeds. Unless it's uploaded to Instagram, it always takes FOREVER.

These are the consequences of living in Morocco. Shitty internet. And we still have yet to get 5G.

[–] mryessir@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

.... mbps could mean both but one should differ between Mbps and MBps.

100 Mbit (Mbps) enables a max download speed of: 12.5 MBps....
