How much do you pay? How fast are your your real world speeds? Where are you located?
I live in Sweden and pay around 12 dollars a month for fiber 1000/1000 Mbps without data traffic restrictions.
Seeing the fees you pay makes me feel sad.
What??? Let me cry a bit from Norway, where I pay 829NOK (82$) for 150mbps fiber
I pay 15€ per month for 1000/100 cable plan in Finland. It’s a discounted price though, I believe the “real” price is like 40€/month, but it doesn’t look like I’ll have to pay that any time soon.
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.That sounds awfully familiar.
Huh, didn’t know that before. What is it with politicians and avoiding foresight?
Worst part about the cable is the packet loss. It’s legit better to get a slow DSL connection in Germany than a faster cable internet because the packet loss makes RTC unusable
1000 down / 20 up for $75 from Comcast. It’s getting upgraded to 1200/200… Eventually… 🥲
If they take too long I might just hop back to TMobile 5g home internet. It would peak at like 500 down / 120 up for $50 which I was super happy with.
I’m giving T-Mobile a try soon since it’s $50/mo vs the $200/mo I pay for Comcast internet and cable (don’t use cable but it was cheaper as a internet & cable bundle for awhile). If I get similar speeds to what you got with T-Mobile I’ll be happy.
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
1gbps up/down with static IPv4 and IPv6 address for 105dkk ($15). Located in Denmark.
I can reliably get the offered speeds and the connection is unmetered.
Reading this thread and learning that data caps exist… my condolences.
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.
1000/1000
My employer pays for it
Edit: I lied. My girlfriends employer also pays for it. We technically make money from it
$24.99/month for 300 mbps up and down, Verizon Fiber. Northeast US.
I pay $120/mo for 150mbps service. I live in Cambridge MA and have only zero choices for ISP other than this one, Comcast.

40 up on Comcast, wow
They HATE upstream, every kbit up they consider lost catv revenue from torrents.

Yeah I don’t want their pos modem and asswipe nat, I want a decent one.
Comcast delenda est.
New Zealand, 2000/2000, real world speeds generally match. $80 USD with a static IP.
$100CAD for 60/6 copper which works fine but the price sucks. The only wired alternative is $70 for 3/0.3mbps DSL
Fuck Canadian ISPs and their government enablement.
I pay 65 for gigabit fiber with Telus. At the end of the 2 year deal they’ll give me a better deal or Shaw will, I don’t care who my isp or phone provider is, whoever gives me cheaper with more gets my money. Just be assertive with them, sometimes you’ll be on the phone for 4 hours, but you save money and get faster speeds.
Fucking lol that is just a straight up wrong. You are not getting any discounts from either of these companies whatsoever. They will literally disconnect you before allowing a discount. That’s what competition is for and theres none of that here. They know you have basically nothing without them.
You do you. I’ll keep enjoying my cheaper internet. Have a good one
Welp, I feel very poor now. UK VDSL 50/10mbps for the most part, about £30/mo I think.
Don’t feel too bad, at least you have some bandwith. ADSL (10/1 mbps) is the only thing available in my part of rural Texas, besides satellite 🤮, and I’m paying $65/month
Isn’t Starlink supposed to be ok?
If you can get it, I hear starlink ok. When looking into it there was a waitlist/downpayment that was many months out. I also don’t trust Musk not to destroy starlink.
We tried HughesNet and it was so bad I happily paid the early termination fee to get rid of their trash.
The DSL connection was a big improvement, even better than a cellular hot spot in the area.
thanks, wait you pay $65 for 10/1? WOW
Yeah it’s nuts. Where i came from we had a couple of broadband options but in this place its like an information desert. The house didn’t even have the connection when we first arrived, it cost about $400 for the DSL install.
€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 compatibilityThis 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.
