How much do you pay? How fast are your your real world speeds? Where are you located?
I pay $64 a month for Verizon Fios in Maryland.
Reading this thread and learning that data caps exist… my condolences.
That’s because you live in a civilized country.
50/50 from ziply fiber in Oregon. I think it is around 60-90$ a month but I don’t pay the bill. Edit: checked with my dad and we pay 60$ a month for that
$100CAD for 60/6 copper which works fine but the price sucks. The only wired alternative is $70 for 3/0.3mbps DSL
Fuck Canadian ISPs and their government enablement.
I pay 65 for gigabit fiber with Telus. At the end of the 2 year deal they’ll give me a better deal or Shaw will, I don’t care who my isp or phone provider is, whoever gives me cheaper with more gets my money. Just be assertive with them, sometimes you’ll be on the phone for 4 hours, but you save money and get faster speeds.
Fucking lol that is just a straight up wrong. You are not getting any discounts from either of these companies whatsoever. They will literally disconnect you before allowing a discount. That’s what competition is for and theres none of that here. They know you have basically nothing without them.
You do you. I’ll keep enjoying my cheaper internet. Have a good one
8.75€ 100MB/s up and down - Ukraine
I live in Sweden and pay around 12 dollars a month for fiber 1000/1000 Mbps without data traffic restrictions.
Seeing the fees you pay makes me feel sad.
What??? Let me cry a bit from Norway, where I pay 829NOK (82$) for 150mbps fiber
I pay 15€ per month for 1000/100 cable plan in Finland. It’s a discounted price though, I believe the “real” price is like 40€/month, but it doesn’t look like I’ll have to pay that any time soon.
1000/1000
My employer pays for it
Edit: I lied. My girlfriends employer also pays for it. We technically make money from it
1000/1000 AT&T fiber, $80/month including equipment, no contract, no data cap, in lower MI.
Exact same in SoCal.
I don’t suppose you’ve got yours setup to bypass/ignore the ATT provided router?
Yep. Passthrough to my router with all AT&T WiFi disabled.
1gb unmetered synchronous fiber in Denver for $80/mo
$105 for the same speed in Lincoln, NE
I get the same for $45/month in rural Oklahoma.
I’m jealous, but not jealous enough to live in OK.
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.
Damn that’s a pretty good deal, I couldn’t live with a 2gb mobile data cap tho…
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.
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
“Rural” Texas (about an hour from a big city) and the only thing we have available is ADSL at 10/1 mbps on a good day. I’m paying $65 and as long as we don’t stram 2 things at once it works!
You could look into forming a community ISP. Its often easier in rural areas because in cities the big telecom companies already own all the infrastructure needed to lay cable, in the country there’s less red tape. Some guy in Michigan did it for himself and his neghbors then expanded to a few hundred people.
I heard about that one, very interesting guy. I’m not sure if I could get away with something like that in Texas. The state likes to say its pro business and free, but reality says otherwise.
We’re about to get out of here permanently anyway and move west towards even less internet access in an even more rural area. I may have to start looking into IPoAC next!
Ontario, Canada $82 after taxes for 400/200 A second fiber provider is coming to my street (doing locates now) and they are $82 after tax for 1000/1000.
Edit: 82 cad is 62 usd
10mbps 4G router for 20€/month in Finland
I have fibre too but it’s more expensive so I don’t see a reason to pay more when my current one works just fine too.
