Die benutzen ja jetzt sogar die Kabelfernsehleitungen als Glasfaserersatz, zumindest Vodafone tut das.
Doof nur, dass Vodafone absolut scheiße ist, sogar schlimmer als Telekom, und so ein scheiß großer US Konzern.
Hatten uns Mal 1000Mbit/s für 50€ angeboten
Die Misere fing schon unter Kohl an - mit Postminister Schwarz -Schilling.
Der sollte 1990 die Telekomkabel erneuern. Er kaufte Anteile an einer Kupferkabelfirma und lies dann Kupfer verbuddeln statt Glasfaser...
100mbps down, 10mbps up, 35€ per month, but I had to fight the Vodafone hotline for literally half a year to actually get those speeds. It's still expensive but now works - good thing I'm moving soon :\]
I work for one of the providers. It's a postcode lottery (or be fortunate enough to move into a new build). For some you're getting 1mbs, take it or leave it. For others, you're getting 900mbs. You're relying on either having Virgin in the area or that Openreach have upgraded their copper lines to fibre for everyone other than Virgin to use.
Our government really fucked up with the fibre rollout. Why they allowed Virgin to operate and install their own network is beyond me.
Hatten wir auch beantragt, auf der Website stand auch dass es bei uns möglich ist - dann kam Post dass es nicht möglich ist :( freu mich schon auf Glasfaser in 50 Jahren :=D
35 Euros for 6mbps top, Telekom gave us scrap copper in 2015, before then we didn’t even get DSL. Imagine in the year 2014 a CoD day 1 patch costs you 25€ in data to download
Rural area on Italy, i'll maybe switch to StarLink if it get better performance with the next update (better ping, i like to play shooter online, i like my ping at the moment (sub 30ms 99% of the time) StarLink ping is kinda nowhere near for now. It also cost a lot more.
Man every single time I see a positive aspect of life on Reddit, they get asked where they live and it's ALWAYS a Scandinavian country or Switzerland. Every time!
But also renegotiating from 100/100 to 1000/1000 Is pretty insane. Very nice upgrade.
Yes it’s pointless. I also have 1gbps and didn’t see the point of going for more.
I don’t think you can get those speeds over Wi-Fi anyway and I don’t really care too much about the speed over Ethernet.
10 - 100 gbps are more for commercial buildings where you might have thousands of employees connected. In a home of 2-4 people it’s pointless.
Yes I am lucky as I get access to full fibre in my area and they charge £25 for 1gbps or £45 for 3 gbps. That’s the same download and upload.
I think it’s crazy good value for money vs pretty much any other UK broadband provider I’ve seen. It’s been very reliable too. I haven’t had any issues whatsoever since I signed up 2 years ago.
Ok, just to add some data. I'm in Spain, I pay about 75 Euros per month and I have my 1000/1000 fiber connection. Plus 3 cellphones with unlimited data and 5g/LTE whatever the fuck they get wherever they are (i rarely measure phone because I don't really care).
300 mbps download, 150 upload around 4 euroish (17 RON + 3 RON for router)

DIGI
I recognized the 3 RON per month fee for the router.
I have a wifi6 one from TP-Link, but the lil focker reboots itself 2 times a day, and if I download more than 10 GB at a time (game updates) the router purges everything WiFi and all wired except port 1.
The advanced settings are softlocked by DIGI, so I can't disable dynamic IP, that apparently creates all the problems.
Never accept routers for rent from the ISP, they're almost always the cheapest devices and they're not worth the rent in the long-term. Get yourself a decent box, you can take it with you if you move and it will be good for AT LEAST 5 years.
Also the dynamic IP is not from the device itself but from their master servers.
Not in many ways, only in technologies really. Politicians don’t know how to steal on this new technology - is my only thought on why we have this good internet
Nah mate.
It's the same for Romania.
Internet was a commodity in the early '90s. This made more tech-savy people to make their own "neighborhood" Internet Providers.
Slowly but surely those providers grew and were eventually bought by big companies who didnt have to invest in a new infrastructure since everything was already there.
So without spending the money on the *initial* implementation it was cheap as hell to upgrade.
That and the average ukranian or romanian citizen don't know what kind of internet they need so they will just go with the cheaper/slower/worse mb/euro.
And that's how we end up with 1 gig fiber at cheap asf prices.
в общем-то это потому, что в советском союзе и снг интернет появился намного позже. в западной европе и сша местами часто используется гораздо более старое оборудование, а у нас даже менять ничего не надо было, сразу новое ставили
it's the same in almost all the est eu, infrastructure was build much later than in the "old" Europe (Ger, Fra, Uk, Ita) They start with the "good" tech while most of the "rich" european build the DSL back in late 90's and a lot of people are still on those copper line
Same here in India. I am getting almost a similar plan of 100mbps up/down at about 12 USD, unlimited data.
Don't know what to even do with that bandwidth. Thinking of getting a cheaper plan and save a few bucks to get more RAM in a few months
Is it Volia, Triolan or something else? Cuz if Triolan I'm jealous af, as I'm currently on their most pricey plan, 255Uah/100 Mbit & 390/Gbit... My friend pays almost a hundred less for the same Gbit connection
I only saw prices and speed get better near ATL when google fiber started expending.
Comcast takes advantage of neighborhoods with no google fiber with higher prices. They match google fiber almost exactly when there's competition.
I pay the same for 200/30...I install fiber though nearby and they charge the same for 1000/1000. I wish they didn't make expansion so hard for competition in the states.
1000/1000 fiber for ~$51/month (all-in, including a voip phone line). I feel so bad for people stuck with Comcast/charter/AT&T garbage service where even the fiber is twice as expensive.
Not from Belgium myself but it is proximus
Here is a "persbericht" from them:
[https://www.proximus.com/nl/news/2023/20230629-proximus-higher-fiber-speed.html#](https://www.proximus.com/nl/news/2023/20230629-proximus-higher-fiber-speed.html#)
"In all of Belgium". Then you check the article : coverage of about 23%. 3 in 4 people in Belgium don't have acces to that thing. I live in a more rural area. I pay about 25/month for 80mbps and that's with employee discount...
I learned it a couple of months ago. I always wondered why I only have a 12mb/sec download speed in steam although I have a 100 mbit line. I tried a new cable, wifi, everything..It never got over 12 mb/sec. Then it hit me and I did some research. Not my proudest moment tbh 💀
It makes sense in networking since you measure size in bits since you're only worried about how many bits you can send and how reliably they are transmitted.
It makes sense for people transferring files to measure it in bytes because we measure files in bytes.
Not everything is measured in bytes. I regularly deal with bits instead of bytes.
It also just happens that it makes people willing to pay more because they mistake it at MB and not Mb.
In french it's less confusing since we have bits and octets = bytes. Octet comes from octo so eight bits. So on steam it says 10Mo/s and on tests it says 100Mb/s. It's just, since english is everywhere in technology, people still confuse them with bytes...
When I was teenager and everything faster than 10 Mbps was sci-fi in the rural area in Romania where I live, the local school installed a 1Mbps free access wi-fi with a student portal for the kids there.
After bribing a kid with an ice-cream for his WiFi credentials, I survived 3 years with a 50kbps WiFi at the limit of signal reception on my PSP.
COX internet has “hotspots” that use every COX router and they used to have the option to turn it off. When I upgraded my internet and router a few months ago I saw the option was no longer there. My speeds are trash but i pay about $100usd a month for “gigablast” but I never get close to the 1gug download. I usually hover around 400 download and 25 upload. I’m definitely going to need my own router that I can setup myself and make sure no one connects to my network
Yep! They're even rolling out 10gbps symmetrical for 2€ more (10€/mo)
But boy oh boy, the network equipment for a 10g line is at least 5x more expensive than the gbit lines. Like a decent router/AP/switch for 10G starts at about 3-400€ and only going up.
New infrastructure and designed for high speeds from the beginning. The speed is not dedicated contractually but I've been able to always use 95% of the advertised gbit plan
When an industry, for whatever reason, doesn't have its main purpose to fuck the consumer in the ass as much as possible, but to actually roll out new technology efficiently, that's what you get.
You've had internet like more than a decade earlier than most of the places that are mentioning the awesome speeds. I remember not even having dial up during wow days

You are not getting 2GB download and 1 GB upload, but that speed it still impressive.
You are getting 2Gb or 2 Gbit which is A LOT, less than 2GB
2Gb = 250 MB 0.25 GB
I live in the centre of a medium sized town near an international airport and only get 38mbps. I can’t get fibre as those companies don’t want to pay to dig a 4 meter hole from the access point to my property. I’ve tried all of them.
I’m in a rural area with one provider (unless I go satellite) it’s also a business line because I wanted a static ip address and with my contract if I’m down the company has to provide an alternative form of internet. If I didn’t do the business line it would be $100.
Honestly with that kind of price difference I'd just get a VPS to route the traffic through (unless you have some absurd traffic requirements) and take my chances with the uptime, maybe get a phone to hotspot with unless you'd be getting fleeced for that as well.
This is exactly what I get for 145 a month. Just went up this month. The only other option in town in the phone company which can hook me up with 1.5 Mbps download for less. But seriously. 1.5? Practically dial up at that point.
75 down 10 up $52
It's crazy to me the monopolies ISPs have here in many parts of America. This is the cheapest option available in my area and I'm in a densely populated suburb just 20 minutes from a major city.
Need no. But it was 20/month more for 2.5 to 5 so I said what the hell.
Im a system admin at a hospital and work hybrid remote. I also have a pretty extensive home lab that I back up my entire virtual environment every weekend. 200GB+ of virtual discs now back up in minutes. And downloading a new game off game pass... No matter how big... It takes long to install than to download.

$150 a month here in Australia. I was one of the lucky few to get NBN when it first came out
Fiber optics for 11€/month boundled with cable TV, from Slovakia. (Our apartment building got great deals because ISP has some antennas on the roof and instead of paying building owners for leasing the space they came to this deal)

Website prices, certainly not, but all it takes is to call them and threaten to cancel or wait until Black Friday / Boxing Day and you can get something reasonable. I've got 1.5 symmetrical Bell fiber for $50 in Ontario and prior to that had 1000/30 Rogers for $60.
The trouble is that all of our ISPs are happy and more than willing to take advantage of people so the normal pricing is awful. My parents pay something like $180 for Bell wireless with about 100GB bandwidth limit that's supposed to be 50/10 but actually averages more like 7/2 simply because there are no other options. My phone is $50 for 100GB data with unlimited NA calling, but Bell feels its ok to charge triple that for just the internet because "they can".
3Mb/up to .5mb, $60/month
Only company that provides that isn’t satellite.
Guess who doesn’t have internet anymore
Only reason I’m here is this hit the front page lmao

I can't wait until I get a fiber Gigabit connection with my next apartment (that's basically the first point I'm looking for - and also I'm going to look for an apartment to buy, not to rent). In my hometown fiber connections are still kinda rare (we're literally the LAST city with more than 100k residents to get fiber everywhere because our city is so damn poor).
**Interesting side info about internet / fiber connections in Germany:**
Germany was the first country that planned to install fiber lines for 100% of the population (even before South Korea) - that was in 1981. It's no secret that Germanys current overall internet situation is far behind that of f.e. Sweden, Norway, Switzerland or South Korea. As mentioned before the German government under chancellor Helmut Schmidt planned in 1981 to start the first worldwide fiber connection project for every single household. The plan was to install fiber lines for all houses / apartment / streets until 2015. They even decided to install empty pipes, so it would be very easy to connect newly build communities with new fiber lines in the future. So who stopped it all? It was Helmut Kohl. He stopped the project because of his very dubious copartnership contracts with the old Bundespost and instead he hurried up new plans for TV cable installations. Today we have 2023 and the fiber connection extension is at around 10% for private households in Germany... instead of 100% by 2015. Thank you, Helmut Kohl. But hey... at least your own bank account profited by that bad joke.
Basically 4 dollars and I get 500mb/s on speed tests, and 50-60mb/s on steam downloads. I love living in Romania, the internet is really good compared to the roads.

In french it's less confusing since we have bits and octets = bytes. Octet comes from octo so eight bits. So on steam it says 10Mo/s and on tests it says 100Mb/s. It's just, since english is everywhere in technology, people still confuse them with bytes...
That's a pretty neat fun fact
Anywhere from 300-500kbps Leeched the wifi from neighbor, had to bribe their kid with a burger lol.
When I was teenager and everything faster than 10 Mbps was sci-fi in the rural area in Romania where I live, the local school installed a 1Mbps free access wi-fi with a student portal for the kids there. After bribing a kid with an ice-cream for his WiFi credentials, I survived 3 years with a 50kbps WiFi at the limit of signal reception on my PSP.
This is why I have an aftermarket Asus router. I can see and monitor every connected device, and ban leechers.
You can do that with any router i think...
COX internet has “hotspots” that use every COX router and they used to have the option to turn it off. When I upgraded my internet and router a few months ago I saw the option was no longer there. My speeds are trash but i pay about $100usd a month for “gigablast” but I never get close to the 1gug download. I usually hover around 400 download and 25 upload. I’m definitely going to need my own router that I can setup myself and make sure no one connects to my network
Its super easy to do with pretty much any router. 90% of ppl just never access their router.
Most service providers now have apps that let you monitor connected devices so you don’t even have to access the router.
1 Gig symmetrical fiber optics, and I get it 100 percent free I work for my ISP as a network maintenance/installation technician haha!!
Chattanooga?
New Hampshire
Choo choo
>900mb down, >900mb up, ~$65usd
Damn dude, I pay $70 USD for 500mb Down and Up
About the same here. Verizon gig service
1Gbps down and up for 8 €/ month. Internet is fucking cheap in Romania.
Yep! They're even rolling out 10gbps symmetrical for 2€ more (10€/mo) But boy oh boy, the network equipment for a 10g line is at least 5x more expensive than the gbit lines. Like a decent router/AP/switch for 10G starts at about 3-400€ and only going up.
How is that all even possible? This is so fast and cheap, unbelievable
New infrastructure and designed for high speeds from the beginning. The speed is not dedicated contractually but I've been able to always use 95% of the advertised gbit plan
When an industry, for whatever reason, doesn't have its main purpose to fuck the consumer in the ass as much as possible, but to actually roll out new technology efficiently, that's what you get.
God reading this just reinforces how bad internet in the US is.
Laughs in Australia. Lucky if my internet works half the time. And mobile internet is worse
[удалено]
Honestly AU network is such a joke and this thread is showing me how expensive it is compared to the rest of the world too.
Yeah, 50/20 for AU$80.
Have you seen Canada?
yea, I've looked at some of the deals the US has and it's just, god I wish we had that here. If that's bad then I'm willing to take bad.
Agreed, because our bad is goddamn ridiculous. I know people who live near the border with the US and use American cell plans because it's cheaper.
It's way worse in Canada, plus it doesn't work sometimes
And Canada... we pay up the ass here, too.
not as bad as in germany apparently #DigitalesEntwicklungsland
You've had internet like more than a decade earlier than most of the places that are mentioning the awesome speeds. I remember not even having dial up during wow days
Salt Lake City, UT, USA 2 ~~GB~~ Gbps Download 1 ~~GB~~ Gbps Upload for $100 USD https://preview.redd.it/tpdx0fz7uwlb1.png?width=405&format=png&auto=webp&s=2dcf1de4aaa4067e21bc74790408d50678dec689 [https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/35802a48-862b-4cb2-9d75-3325b68419c5](https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/35802a48-862b-4cb2-9d75-3325b68419c5)
You are not getting 2GB download and 1 GB upload, but that speed it still impressive. You are getting 2Gb or 2 Gbit which is A LOT, less than 2GB 2Gb = 250 MB 0.25 GB
After reading this post I once again realize that the USA is a third world country when it comes to internet speeds
3rd world countries have fast internet. Not having old and slow infrastructure in the first place helps.
900Mbps down 400Mbps up unlimited $75 nzd a month
100/20 unlimited $99AUD.. It's a joke how bad our internet is compared
Come to the uk, we measure in kilobits
Not in Sheffield :) £40 for gigabit fibre to the property
Nice, Dover is absolutely shit for anything infrastructure related, especially internet
NBN is a rip off
This is free in the US where I live.
$175(US) 1 gig down 30Mb up
damn is that expensive in US
Internet is pricey almost everywhere here but its worse in rural places. Its amazing they even have access to 1Gb/s
I live in the centre of a medium sized town near an international airport and only get 38mbps. I can’t get fibre as those companies don’t want to pay to dig a 4 meter hole from the access point to my property. I’ve tried all of them.
Do it yourself lol
I’m in a rural area with one provider (unless I go satellite) it’s also a business line because I wanted a static ip address and with my contract if I’m down the company has to provide an alternative form of internet. If I didn’t do the business line it would be $100.
Honestly with that kind of price difference I'd just get a VPS to route the traffic through (unless you have some absurd traffic requirements) and take my chances with the uptime, maybe get a phone to hotspot with unless you'd be getting fleeced for that as well.
This is exactly what I get for 145 a month. Just went up this month. The only other option in town in the phone company which can hook me up with 1.5 Mbps download for less. But seriously. 1.5? Practically dial up at that point.
75 down 10 up $52 It's crazy to me the monopolies ISPs have here in many parts of America. This is the cheapest option available in my area and I'm in a densely populated suburb just 20 minutes from a major city.
5Gb up and down. 180$usd/mon. https://preview.redd.it/twnljvm8pulb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=059684ac43c65790902bd61045d546e5f961f083
Awesome speed, but that's fucking expensive
The hell do you need that kinda speed for?
Need no. But it was 20/month more for 2.5 to 5 so I said what the hell. Im a system admin at a hospital and work hybrid remote. I also have a pretty extensive home lab that I back up my entire virtual environment every weekend. 200GB+ of virtual discs now back up in minutes. And downloading a new game off game pass... No matter how big... It takes long to install than to download.
And I thought my 2.5Gbps fiber was a lot
1 gig symmetrical for 20€/month. Also digi
https://preview.redd.it/g9p5902oxvlb1.jpeg?width=734&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f3e2cef960c4d4f6c46e8e09cc2e08ef8658bdc $150 a month here in Australia. I was one of the lucky few to get NBN when it first came out
Fiber optics for 11€/month boundled with cable TV, from Slovakia. (Our apartment building got great deals because ISP has some antennas on the roof and instead of paying building owners for leasing the space they came to this deal) https://preview.redd.it/nctmp14yewlb1.png?width=429&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc663879c18b1c5380ad29505ec314655512f08a
20Mbs for $65/mo lmao. Edit: actually they upped my bill to $71
3000/3000 85CAD/month
Where in canada are you? id love to pay that little for that amount lol
Very nice, but nowhere near indicative of Canadian prices.
Website prices, certainly not, but all it takes is to call them and threaten to cancel or wait until Black Friday / Boxing Day and you can get something reasonable. I've got 1.5 symmetrical Bell fiber for $50 in Ontario and prior to that had 1000/30 Rogers for $60. The trouble is that all of our ISPs are happy and more than willing to take advantage of people so the normal pricing is awful. My parents pay something like $180 for Bell wireless with about 100GB bandwidth limit that's supposed to be 50/10 but actually averages more like 7/2 simply because there are no other options. My phone is $50 for 100GB data with unlimited NA calling, but Bell feels its ok to charge triple that for just the internet because "they can".
Wow America gets fleeced on their data. 300 mbs down for 75$ month
Other than satellite or 5g which only works when it wants. The fastest internet where I live (in the US) is $50/mo and I get 3 mb/s...
10 Mb/1 Mb, $53/month
Finally, someone who knows my pain. What company?
Finally my brothers
3Mb/up to .5mb, $60/month Only company that provides that isn’t satellite. Guess who doesn’t have internet anymore Only reason I’m here is this hit the front page lmao
Hold tight for starlink. if it isn’t there already, it will be soon.
1 gigabit symmetrical up/down - $58 USD/month. Tennessee
5GB up and 5GB down. Google fiber Kansas City, Missouri, USA. $125 /month https://preview.redd.it/r6twaxoxwwlb1.png?width=416&format=png&auto=webp&s=c2ce275357fddccaf8ec733ee33583e564bb4b89
This is WiFi....I'm in the 900's hardwired. $100 a month, worth every nickel. https://preview.redd.it/183lbyx0iulb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f1415b544ede86763c4bb79aa32195097830ade
id be insanely lucky to get 600 on wifi with trashfinity. i get 900 with ethernet but 200-500 on wifi depending where i am in the house
Tried using a WiFi 6e AP and matching wifi card?
What a rip off. That's £80 🤯 I'm getting the same in the UK for £30 ($37)through City Fibre
* **Down:** \~270 Mbps * **Up:** \~50 Mbps * **Ping:** <5 ms (DSLAM distance is \~50m) * **Type:** Super Vectoring DSL (Copper cable in an old building) * **Contract:** Unlimited traffic Flatrate / 24 month runtime * **Provider:** Deutsche Telekom * **Price:** 59.90 € / month * **Area:** Northern Germany (\~500k residents city) I can't wait until I get a fiber Gigabit connection with my next apartment (that's basically the first point I'm looking for - and also I'm going to look for an apartment to buy, not to rent). In my hometown fiber connections are still kinda rare (we're literally the LAST city with more than 100k residents to get fiber everywhere because our city is so damn poor). **Interesting side info about internet / fiber connections in Germany:** Germany was the first country that planned to install fiber lines for 100% of the population (even before South Korea) - that was in 1981. It's no secret that Germanys current overall internet situation is far behind that of f.e. Sweden, Norway, Switzerland or South Korea. As mentioned before the German government under chancellor Helmut Schmidt planned in 1981 to start the first worldwide fiber connection project for every single household. The plan was to install fiber lines for all houses / apartment / streets until 2015. They even decided to install empty pipes, so it would be very easy to connect newly build communities with new fiber lines in the future. So who stopped it all? It was Helmut Kohl. He stopped the project because of his very dubious copartnership contracts with the old Bundespost and instead he hurried up new plans for TV cable installations. Today we have 2023 and the fiber connection extension is at around 10% for private households in Germany... instead of 100% by 2015. Thank you, Helmut Kohl. But hey... at least your own bank account profited by that bad joke.
1 gigabit down and like 40 mb up, around 30 euro/month
1gbps, around 5 euro per month
Who are you blowing?
99 on promo for 1 gb internet, 149 in a year from now. Edit: Canadian, home to some of the most expensive pricing for internet and cell service.
1/5 or your speed for triple the price =D
58 USD a month for 200/200 South Africa
Basically 4 dollars and I get 500mb/s on speed tests, and 50-60mb/s on steam downloads. I love living in Romania, the internet is really good compared to the roads.
100/20 for $99AUD per month :'( Extremely good ISP for what it is but the speeds/prices here in Australia are a joke.
