500 Rupees (about 6$) for 40mbps fibre connection.

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

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.

Gigabit for cheap. Service provider employee plan has its perks.

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

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

1.5k php/month in Philippines for 200 mbps no capping

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

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.

I'm on mobile data plan 27GB for US$1.8 per month

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

$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

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

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.

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

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.

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

UK, 900 Mbps for £35

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

20€ / month, nominal speed 400/50 Mbps, usually within 5% of that, Finland.

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

Usa, FL. $120/month for AT&T gigabytes fiber. Tho best I’ve seen is like 900mbps both ways.

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

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

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

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.

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

My internet is shit but it's cheap. 19 usd a month for 40mbps down and 5 up. It's cheap enough that I can't complain really.

Utah, USA.

Fiber, 250 Mbit up and down. $40/mo, no contract.

Actual speeds are usually around 280 down and 230 up.

[–] [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 (1 children)

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

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

Best advice I can give folks is not to be afraid of haggling your contracts. When their introductory offers, and the initial contract ends, call them. Though, it would help if there is actual market competition… though from what I hear about the US… that’s non-existent, when it comes to broadband packages.

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

It depends where you live, I have lived in apartments/townhouses that have a contract with one provider so that's all you can have. It's pretty shitty

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

In the UK I'm paying £53/months for 1Gbps fiber

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.
