Verizon 5G, $35/month for the 300 mbps / 20 up plan (my needs are not huge, this does the TV streaming and the zoom meetings just fine).

Somerville MA. Was previously paying 3x that for crappy Astound service at half the speed.

£30 a month for gigabit unlimited usage. UK. Connection is rock solid.

Australia, 1000 down but only 50 up, AUD$140 per month, there are slightly cheaper plans available but the guys i'm with are super good to deal with.

Considering switching to 250/100 for the better upload but its $200 per month which is just silly.

$55USD (after taxes/fees) for 50/10 (very consistent). I could get gigabit for $125, but we don't need it and I'd need to upgrade my network to support it. My city is rolling out fiber over the next couple of years, so I'll probably wait until I know more before I upgrade my network.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

$80 1Gbps symmetrical fiber. Speed tests are usually 800+ down/1Gb up, but usually can get 1Gb down on steam games. Portland, Or

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Santiago, Chile. 900/900 Synmetrical fiber, I pay around $25 USD per month. No caps, no static IP, I can manage my own ports and I use my own Mikrotik Hex S.

Rural Oregon. 1gbps up and down. $600/month. I never go below ~930mbps each way.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

100Mbps download of fiber optic network for 11.50 €/mo. I'm from Lithuania, which has always had a good internet coverage. The supplier is Cgates. They offer cheaper alternatives if you agree for a 1-year or 2-year plan.

1000/1000 Mbps fiber for $43 in Denmark, no data cap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

500M/250M $80/month

Seriously overpriced here. I used to pay $25 for fiber 1G/1G

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

In Ontario, Canada, 500/500 fibre from Bell. I pay $60/month, though this is a promotional rate for 2 years. I think I will be paying double after the 2 years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"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!

1000/1000 fiber line but we sub to the 500/500 rate since that’s more than enough for the 5 of us in Colorado. We pay $60 month to month. No cap. We can move between two services, change the speed any time, and even turn it off whenever. Real world tops out at 500/500 on wired. Wireless on 6 not E is 420/250.

I only need a mobile data, no cap, ~5 mbps for 4$/mo in East Russia.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

$135cad for 15mbps. Rural life has its downsides

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

25€/month for up to 1000mbps upload & 1000mbps download fiber glass in small town near Amsterdam, Netherlands.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

16€ for 1000Mb down 60 up by cable in France. It's a good price here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Was $65 even but centurylink reneged on the lifetime contact price so now it’s $75 for gigabit internet up/down. In WA a major city

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

$139AUD per month, New England, NSW, Australia.

100/20 mbps for $75 AUD a month for the first year. Amazing quality and service from Leaptel on FTTP. I wish our internet was cheaper.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It costs about $27.52 for about 185Mbps download and 84.1Mbps upload of fiber internet, Philippines. My parents are paying for it, and they chose the cheapest plan.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

$99 for gigabit (is a special for 6 months, then goes up to $129 a month for gigabit). My speed is about 600Mbps on a good day. Australia

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

20€ / month, nominal speed 400/50 Mbps, usually within 5% of that, Finland.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

50/50 for 23 EUR. I used to have 500/500, but 99% of the time I didn't need that much, so I thought why should I pay more for something I don't need.

1 GBPS with Spectrum in Western Michigan, $59/mo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)
