    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.

    10 Gbps symmetrical for 40 bucks a month TV included. It’s absolutely mind boggling for me how expensive internet is in North America.

      North America is insane with their internet costs.

      Here in VN, I can get unlimited 4G for 40$ a year, and 100mbps symmetrical fiber for about 50$ a year. The biggest provider is the Army. Their customer service is actually pretty fast and good too!

        This really needs an update for each carrier to transport multiple packets at once.
        Based on RFC2549 it seems each carrier can transport up to 10g. That’s roughly 40 MicroSD cards. The current largest MicroSD cards are 2TB, so that’s 80TB/carrier. It seems the smallest response time is 3,000s.
        That means the theoretical top transfer rate could be roughly 213Gbps.

        Edit: Although it seems the carriers could do as much as 75g. That’s 300 MicroSD cards or 600TB. At 5km that makes 1.6Tbps!

    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.

    1000 up and down. Fiber is great. Actually having competition instead of a Comcast monopoly in my area is amazing.

      The one downside when I bought was only Comcast in the area. 6 months in, Att fiber got dropped in. Now I’m with you!

    ~90/30 (paying for 100/40).

    That’s considered pretty good for our shit Aussie FTTN (VDSL) network.

    Fibre upgrades are happening.

    75/15

    Everyone around me is getting fiber, but I’m on a private/unadopted road, so not for me 😭

    £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 £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 £18/mo.

    80/20 for 30€

    But your post animated me to check, so there is one for 100/40 for 20€ now i switched to. Thank you!

    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

    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.

    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.
