125GBs doesn't jive with my 8Mbps internet lol

Where do you live and how much do you pay for that? I'm at 1Gbps for the equivalent of $35 USD ~22-04-25~

Pacific Northwest in the US and $45. Which is much better than the $65 I had to pay Centurylink for 500kbps where I lived previously. There's fiber 2 miles from my house but it doesn't come down my road.

Yay America

Incredible. I'm guessing population density is really low, your money is not enough 😭

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

The 500kbps was just a few miles outside of a metro area of millions. My dad lives in bumfuck nowhere in the same state outside a town of a few hundred and he gets 60Mbps.

I keep hoping they'll run fiber down the road, but there aren't a ton of houses down this road. Mostly private timber, shitty Weyerhauser, and small farms.

As long as you don't have a data cap, just leave it running for two days

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that's what I usually do. It just sucks no one in the house can use the internet for 2-3 days when these bloated messes cone out.
