Man I really hope so. I'm in a 25/3 wasteland. My dad, a town over, is even lower. About 7/0.8.

    Meanwhile in the Netherlands, I can choose between several gigabit providers. Symmetrical on fiber or asymmetrical on cable. I've been on gigabit fibre for a couple of years.

    Can I have that problem instead of being stuck to a single ISP that charges more for copper wire service than they do fiber in the places they have it?

    At the moment €30/month. But this was a deal for a couple of months. Regular price is €45/month. This is T-Mobile btw. When combine it with a cellular plan. They give a discount of €5/month on the fiber and €2,50/month on the cellular plan.

    I live in podunk nowhere, but if the amount of time since I've had that speed could buy things, I think it'd be old enough to buy cigarettes.

    Also I'm surprised CenturyLink is even still alive.
