I recently moved to a place with fiber and paid out the ass for gigabit. I just got a new game on Steam that was 130GB, and it downloaded in about 30-35 minutes. Insanity.

Yeah fiber so so good, I pay like $22 each month for 500 mbps. It's a bit expensive so I don't dare go for full gig

I once had a full gig fiber connection for free in my student apartment, it was glorious. Before that I had like 50 mbps so it's hard to go back to that after the full gig

$22 has to be bundled with something like phone right? $22 for 500 is crazy cheap.

It's cheap? Well call me ignorant or uninformed then.

But no it's just the internet plan with a discount of $11 per month because my apartment complex has some deal with the internet provider.

Lol. My apartment has a "deal" with our internet provider. A combo wifi/switch/modem is provided with the apartment and I have to pay an extra $15 a month.

What a deal!

Grand total is only $165US a month for unlimited 1GB down and something terrible up

Well I guess it depends on your Country/State, the cheapest fiber in my area is $50 for 500mbps
