100/100 for 22,000 KRW/month (about $16.50 USD).
Other options with my provider:
And that 100/100 is effective. Shit downloads fast
One of many, many reasons I'm not fond of going back to the US. Maybe Europe next, we'll see. For now, Korea is pretty sweet
300 mbps, symmetrical, ~30 usd/mo.
~1000/1000 (usually more like 1300m on speed tests when wired)
$55/month here in the Northeast USA
5 mbps for 18β¬/month... Fuck this I'm switching back to pidgeons.
40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.
1000/1000 @ $C 75
I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000
Which is weird because I'm not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people

Not weird at all. Itβs much easier to run fiber in a small town than in a large city. Cities are denser and more crowded. Itβs also more crowded underground. In a city you might have to close streets, you need to be more careful when digging because of all the other stuff underground.
All that makes it cheaper and easier to install fiber in small towns or smaller, less dense cities.
1Gbit fibre, they offer up to 3Gbit but I really donβt see the need right now and donβt have the hardware to take advantage of it right now.
In a relatively small US city, 600/600 mbps fiber and I actually get it 24/7. I could get 1200, 2400 or even 5000 but I donβt see any point. Heck I can get 700/35 on my iPhone (overnight).
25/10 for 65AUD/m (43USD/m). Australia, NBN (monopoly across entire country, technically government owned but run like a private corp because of politics). It's the lowest speed now available, but it's already overpriced. $780/year is far more than all of my wifi capable equipment is worth together, including laptops.
300/300 here. $40
Theoretically? 100. It only works in specific, uncrowded areas, and then only sometimes.
Practically, as in 80% of scenarios? Anywhere from 10 to as low as 0.03. It's bad enough that in some places I can't even load a basic website, as I can't even crack 1mbps. I also often get the "connected, no Internet" crap.
Β£21/mo for a 100Mb/s VDSL connection split at 80/20: speeds as advertised, ~10ms latency. I'm living in the centre of a large market town in the North of England.
Two doors down, my neighbour is paying Β£25/mo for symmetric gigabit FTTP with negligible latency, but the fibre network doesn't extend to my property. Fuckers.
Oh, I also have a backup/travel LTE service which provides about a 1150Mb/s down and 300Mb/s up with 20ms latency which costs me Β£18/mo.
250/40 no caps, 70β¬/month, germany on the edge of a city. The city has fiber but weβre not there yet. Stuff is slow in germany since telekom owns most of the infrastructure and is a private company that really needs to be disowned rn!
1Gbps symmetrical, business class, because I run my business from my home.
Pay for fiber 300, actual is about 365 each way
26d/46u
depends on the time of day and the status of a particular cable that runs under the ocean. anywhere between 4kbps and 20mbps.
100Mbps symmetrical FTTH for $11/month. I get 120Mbps in real world scenarios(P2P, Good DDL servers) maybe due to Dual Stack Lite ISP?
500 down maybe 50 up I forgot the up speed
93mbps, Germany. I could go up to 250mbps but it probably wouldn't work with the copper wires and require a new Fritzbox router.
940/940 unlimited for ~$90/month in Western Canada
100/120
600/100 in-home fiber, for 79zΕ/mo (~19β¬) In practice itβs hitting something like 630/120
it's supposed to be 100mb/s but in reality it's about 0.5mb/s, I've seen it drop as low as 5kb/s (my landlord is a cheapscate and won't replace the busted wifi extender in my uni dorm block)
500/500 but average 530+ both ways for $50/month. Up to 5 gigabit is available in my area.
EDIT - In the US the FCC just upped what is considered "broadband" to 100/20 , which still seems sad for upload, but at least moving in the right direction. It was an awful 25/3 before.
403 down, 10 up. That's mobile, it's all I have. In the UK it costs Β£10/month
Home connection is advertised at 1Gbps, but tests at more like 100Mbps. It's around 65USD/month. This is a good deal for Canada, and probably only possible because it's attached to a much more expensive cable and phone plan.
Edit: Or 1,000,000,000,000 millibits/second per the title, haha.
500 down and 40 up through Spectrum (east coast of the US). I'm always quite surprised with how well WiFi 6 works, I can pull down the full 500 from my Steam Deck and PC - ironically the network transfer is implemented badly as I'll get about 100 down over the local network so it's faster to download over the Internet.
$60/month so, not bad!
My isp contract is 300mbps but I only get 172 on average.
1.5
390 down/340 up. I pay for 300/300, and it always tests higher, and at a price less than I paid for 100/10 service from the cable company. And it has about 1/3rd the latency as cable. Love having fiber. Worth noting that cable went to 300/20 as soon as fiber came to the neighborhood for the same price they charged before. Competition rules.
5G in Paris: 380 down, 90 up. Unlimited calls, SMS and data, 10β¬/mo.
Chiming in from a third world country. Just did a speedtest. On LTE right now i get 100 down 60 up, 500GB/month for 35$ a year =).
1000 symmetric + true unlimited mobile data in best effort/calls/SMS + TV and replay for 54chf (60$ / 56β¬)
About 5 to 10mbps down. If a post has like 20 embedded images, I have to wait a whole 3 minutes for all of them to load.
Don't even get me started on upload speeds. Unless it's uploaded to Instagram, it always takes FOREVER.
These are the consequences of living in Morocco. Shitty internet. And we still have yet to get 5G.
