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.

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.

$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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

500M/250M $80/month

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

"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!

1000/1000 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.

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

25€, 50Mbps, Italy.

I'm literally <100 meters away from the fiber cabinet, yet it doesn't reach my house, so all I have is FTTC.

With the last mile covered I'd probably get 1Gbps up&down.

Sad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

50/50 for 23 EUR. I used to have 500/500, but 99% of the time I didn't need that much, so I thought why should I pay more for something I don't need.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Damn that's a pretty good deal, I couldn't live with a 2gb mobile data cap tho...
