What is your internet service plan?
How much do you pay? How fast are your your real world speeds? Where are you located?
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.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
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.
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.
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
$66pm for uncapped fibre 300/150 Mbps in South Africa
$24.99/month for 300 mbps up and down, Verizon Fiber. Northeast US.
New Zealand, 2000/2000, real world speeds generally match. $80 USD with a static IP.
Small town in Finland. 1000/1000 mbps uncapped fiber. 50€/month.
Michigan USA.
Stayed with ATT when I moved to this house I’m the hopes that they would be rolling out fiber and I should have it by end of summer.
Currently pay $65/mo for 100 Mbps service that usually gets me speeds of 80-90.
I'm about to move away but currently I cheat Comcast out of gig pro in the Boston area for the price of regular gig service, $90/mo for fiber to the basement, 2gig symmetric sfp+ and a separate 1gig symmetric rj45. Highly recommend if you can avoid paying the full $300/mo price (not sure if the full price has changed in 5 years but that's what it would have been if I didn't confuse the fuck out of customer support to get them to incorrectly bill me). I've tested both lines simultaneously and was able to max out both at a combined 3gig up/down using 2 simultaneous speed tests.
I pay $64 a month for Verizon Fios in Maryland.
€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.
East Bay Area, California, US; Sonic.net.
$65/month for 1Gbps fiber to the premises.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.
10 Gbps symetric no limits @ 25€ month. Spain.
Until a couple of weeks ago, in Brunswick GA, sad down and pitiful up through AT&T, along with easy-to-exceed bandwidth caps (for wired internet!) that twice hit us with large overage fees. That was about 80 or 90 before extra fees, although phone service was included too. Now we're going with a regional fiber optic outfit that offers about 500 down and up, for about $50/mo.
Scrolling for the Indians who get fiber for pennies.
If you're in the states, the FCC has a tool to look this info up. It's really useful when you move to a new area: https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home
edit: not cost, but just like availability. Still good info though.
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.
1000/1000 Mbps fiber for $43 in Denmark, no data cap.
93/month. 400 down/12 up. 1.2 TB data cap.
150 Mb FTTH for $90 in Newfoundland
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.
500/500 fiber for $54.99 in a small town on the edge of the Dallas, TX metroplex.
£30 a month for gigabit unlimited usage. UK. Connection is rock solid.
1000 down, 1000 up for $80 (was $70 until last year) with AT&T.
East TN. $95/mo Xfinity I get about 300 mbps down 25 up usually according to speedtest.net
East TN. $95/mo Xfinity I get about 300 mbps down 25 up usually according to speedtest.net
$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.
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.
500M/250M $80/month
Seriously overpriced here. I used to pay $25 for fiber 1G/1G
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.
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€/month for up to 1000mbps upload & 1000mbps download fiber glass in small town near Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Lithuania. 1000Mbps download. 500Mbps upload. 7€. No data caps.
8.75€ 100MB/s up and down - Ukraine
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.
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.
I'm on mobile data plan 27GB for US$1.8 per month
1000/1000 Mbps, $49 a month, Arizona
20€ / month, nominal speed 400/50 Mbps, usually within 5% of that, Finland.
ATT fiber just rolled out to my neighborhood so we're switching to that from Comcast.
Our bill had apparently gone up so we were paying $110 / month for I believe 600 or 800 down but we get significantly less than that.
With ATT it's 1Gig down for $80
CAD$80/mo for gigabit down and up.
Utah, USA.
Fiber, 250 Mbit up and down. $40/mo, no contract.
Actual speeds are usually around 280 down and 230 up.
$40/month at Spectrum here in Ohio for 300 down, 20 up.
It costs about $27.52 for about 185Mbps download and 84.1Mbps upload of fiber internet, Philippines. My parents are paying for it, and they chose the cheapest plan.
I'm paying $220us/month for 10/10 DSL (which is the best I can get where I live). Most of the time I'm lucky to get 2/2 on this line because our copper is in such bad shape.
1Gbps down/150Mbps up. Speeds are almost always consistently at rated speed
Business plan in Alberta with Shaw(now Rogers) $85/month with 1 static IP
100 mbps for 999 inr a month ~10 usd in india but I somehow get around 220 mpbs on the same plan :P
altough there is also a plan for 1000 mpbs for 4000 inr ~50 usd$90 for 100/20 in Sydney, Australia. I have FttP, but can't come up with a legitimate need for >100mbs at the moment
50/50 from ziply fiber in Oregon. I think it is around 60-90$ a month but I don’t pay the bill. Edit: checked with my dad and we pay 60$ a month for that
$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.
$99 for gigabit (is a special for 6 months, then goes up to $129 a month for gigabit). My speed is about 600Mbps on a good day. Australia
Usa, FL. $120/month for AT&T gigabytes fiber. Tho best I’ve seen is like 900mbps both ways.
$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
$100 USD/mo for FiOS "gigabit" in NY which is actually 940mbps up/down. Pretty satisfied with got tho.
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.
$74usd/month for 100mbps up and down with a static ip
$65CAD for 300Mbit fiber. Just clocked it with a speed test at 350/480, which is weird. I don't really trust any speed tests though. Worst part is that we reliably lose connection every time it rains heavily. Brought it up with the ISP and they have just blown me off so far.
500 Rupees (about 6$) for 40mbps fibre connection.
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.
$135cad for 15mbps. Rural life has its downsides
Gigabit for cheap. Service provider employee plan has its perks.
Austin, Texas, U.S. I pay $100 a month for AT&T Fiber, which provides symmetrical gigabit. Real life is around 950-1000 MBPS both ways.
My plan would normally be $85, but I pay $15 extra for a block of static IPs.
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.
1.5k php/month in Philippines for 200 mbps no capping
16€ for 1000Mb down 60 up by cable in France. It's a good price here
1250/40, $90/mo, Suburb if Denver, CO. Comcast. 1TB data cap.
In the UK I'm paying £53/months for 1Gbps fiber
1000/1000 Google Fiber $40/month (since I'm broke the government covers half). Utah, US
Was $65 even but centurylink reneged on the lifetime contact price so now it’s $75 for gigabit internet up/down. In WA a major city
100/20 mbps for $75 AUD a month for the first year. Amazing quality and service from Leaptel on FTTP. I wish our internet was cheaper.
UK, 900 Mbps for £35
Fiber, 250mbps/250mbps. A speed test I just ran gave me 190mbps/160mbps, which I consider to be a fair result. For this I pay the equivalent of $12/month.
1000Mb/s symmetric FTTP, unlimited data for £29/mo, though I'm currently paying £1/mo as part of a promotion from YouFibre.
I've also got an unlimited data SIM card as a backup. Speeds vary but it's usually over 800Mb/s down and 200Mb/s up. That's £15/mo from Three.
$139AUD per month, New England, NSW, Australia.
Austin, Texas, US. 2Gbps down 1Gbps up for $100 a month with Google Fiber
1 GBPS with Spectrum in Western Michigan, $59/mo
