How much do you pay? How fast are your your real world speeds? Where are you located?
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.
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.
Reading this thread and learning that data caps exist… my condolences.
That’s because you live in a civilized country.
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
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
