Hopefully this is not too long! There has been a lot of changes since the last time I posted a full overview like this
It is beyond me that you dont get symetrical connection with fiber in the US.
I am in the US and I do… In fact, I can upgrade to symmetrical 5Gb now with AT&T
What does your current connection cost per month? I get my 500/100 fiber next month for 59€/month. 1000/200 would be 79€, and that would be the fastest you can get :-/
$70/mo for the AT&T Fiber, and $50/mo for the Verizon 5G
200 up isn’t too bad, nothing to really cry over. My old connection at my last place was 1000/30! What a joke
I’m in Colorado and pay $49.95 for 1000/1000 (though i’m grandfathered in and i think it’s $69.95 for new users). There’s another ISP that offers the same at $70, or i can get 1200/35 cable for about $60.
I can get 2500/2500 for $149 and 10000/10000 for $249 (from my municipal provider) or I can get 6000/6000 for $300 (from the cable provider).
Australian here, I get 1000 / 50… don’t ask what it costs to upgrade that upload speed.
Can I ask why you pay for that speed? I’m on 25/10 and I’ve never felt it was the 25mb download cap that is holding me back.
I was pretty happy with 100/40 but I have 8 TV’s often all streaming 4k hdr from various services at once, along with my constant downloads so i had fiber installed and went to 1000, I’m pretty happy now.
I also sync ser ers between home and work so not having to severely throttle that is nice, upstream bandwidth is still awful though.
ahh thats fair, there’s never really more than one stream at a time here.
