    1000/1000 for like $3 a month. But that’s with the caveat of living in China, where I need a VPN to access most western websites, so that’s my bottleneck.

    Domestically I can get the full bandwidth when streaming (ton of English content available for cheap), but once I need to use the VPN it drops to maybe 200-300 mbit, depending on the server and current utilization.

    Moving to Malaysia in less than 2 months where I can get 2gbit for about $90 (tested at my friend’s house), but honestly I think I’ll settle on 500. It’s more than I can realistically use in a 2 person household, and it’s like 20 bucks.

        IPoD actually has really high throughput.

        According to wikipedia Carrier pigeons typically travel ~1000km at ~100km/h and can carry 75g comfortably. a microsd card weighs about 0.5g and we have 1Tb ones now so our pigeon could carry about 150Tb per trip (sidenote that’ll cost ~20K so packet loss would really suck) . that’s an impressive 33Gb/s at the 1000km range. the 30million ms ping might be annoying though.

    1000 up and down. Fiber is great. Actually having competition instead of a Comcast monopoly in my area is amazing.

    10 Gbps symmetrical for 40 bucks a month TV included. It’s absolutely mind boggling for me how expensive internet is in North America.

      Jesus, 10Gbps!? I’m paying $90 for “gigaspeed” AT&T fiber. But, I’m luckier than most, I have AT&T fiber and Metronet as fiber providers, as well as Spectrum and T-Mobile (but yuck to using 5G as my primary source of internet).

        I know, it kinda sounds crazy, but at the same time it makes sense because after infrastructure the cost for the ISP is minimal. I mean upgrading to 25 Gbps is possible for just 70 bucks, so what can I say. Although my country is comparably small and I do live in the city. So it’s not universally like that.

        The country can be huge but most people live in urban areas now, it’s not like they’ve gotta waste time and money running fiber all over north dakota. We’re talking cities with populations that rival some countries.

    On average around 40/5 depending of the day. I’ve got an option for fibre aswell but 4G is much cheaper

      Australia? I work from home with 25/10. No fibre option where I am. Considering starlink but God damn that cost.

        No, Finland. I’ve got fibre installed to my house but it would cost me 30€/month when 4G is 10€/month so for a frugal person like me it’s a nobrainer which I’m going to choose.

    10 GBit symmetrical. Which is a bit useless, since my motherboard only supports 1 GBit, but it’s good to be ready for the future, I suppose.

    I have a download speed of 3.5 mbps.

    I never did an actual benchmark but that’s what my system monitor looks like whenever I download something.
