300/300 here. $40

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.

5 mbps for 18€/month... Fuck this I'm switching back to pidgeons.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 8 months ago

1.2 Gbps at fast.com. Very lucky to live in a location that offers fiber.

[–] TheBeege@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

100/100 for 22,000 KRW/month (about $16.50 USD).

Other options with my provider:

  • 500/500 for 35,750 KRW ($26.85)
  • 1000/1000 for 41,250 KRW ($31)
  • 2500/2500 for 44,000 KRW ($33)
  • 5000/5000 for 55,000 KRW ($41.31)
  • 10000/10000 for 82,500 KRW ($62)

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

380/260, for β€œgigabit fiber”

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I'm paying 50eur for 250 in Germany but I'm only getting 10-15 because of the shitty cabling in our house. Yay!

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.

[–] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Right now? 10d/1u. There was a post recently about my country coming last in internet speeds in Europe

40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.

[–] theparadox@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

1200/35 for $120 US/month. I also own my own modem and router. Otherwise it would be another $15-$20/month.

Anything cheaper knocks my upload down to 20 and saves me very little. Viewing my options now hides upload rates but I checked a few months ago when my promotional rate expired and the price jumped $40.

1000/20 is $115, 800 is $110, 500 is $105, 300 is $90, 150 is $68

Any competitors don't qualify as broadband anymore. Maybe 35/5? I didn't even bother checking the price.

At least it's fairly stable and "unlimited" but I'm fairly sure they can say that and still cap it at 200GB/month or something. Oh, and I can connect their surveillance device... I mean "free streaming box"... and get Peacock at no extra cost!

500/500 for around 10 eur per month

250/40 no caps, 70€/month, germany on the edge of a city. The city has fiber but weβ€˜re 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!

[–] cel922@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

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 don’t see any point. Heck I can get 700/35 on my iPhone (overnight).

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

On a good day, about 30 down / 5 up. I can't Wait to move somewhere where I can get good internet

[–] Cerothen@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

1000/1000 for 55 eur per month

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[–] thatguy_ie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

500/50 mbps FTTH for €40/month in Ireland.

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[–] doctorzeromd@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

100(usually between 700 and 930) down. 75 up

$50 USD in a very expensive city.

[–] ConditionOverload@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

1gb for $80.

[–] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

75/70 at 23 euros a month. It's cheap and enough for our family to simultaneously stream HD content. Gigabit internet is available but I'm not really sure it's necessary. My son has 14 ping while gaming. That's satisfactory.

[–] boeman@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

1gb symmetrical $70 a month...

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

3 connections load balanced of 1000,400 and 100

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 =).

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

1200/1200, Comcast can suck on these fibers. Still paying ~10x what non Americans do, but at least it isn’t for literal garbage tier service-monopoly

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Starlink. Between 20 down, to 380 down, depending on where I am. Have never gone higher.

[–] Sequentialsilence@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

1000 down and up. Realistically it’s usually around 970 but still.

[–] abalyes@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

75/10 over "fixed wireless", fastest available to me. $85 AUD per month. If I lived 5 minutes closer to town I'd have fiber. The NBN sucks.

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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)
