Gigabit at 45 GBP per month (city fibre)

After reading that my brain spent 10 seconds on two things: 1. I wonder why they have data limits on gigabit internet. 2. How much data is 45 GBP anyway? I'm an idiot.

GBP is the currency - it’s the abbreviation of British pound sterling

What do you all do with such high speeds? Guessing video streaming. I don't need that as I prefer reading fantasy books instead.

I'm in India, pay slightly above $3/month to get 2GB/day (my average usage is about 400MB/day). Max speed I've seen while updating s/w from the terminal was around 2MBPS.

France: 72 EUR / month ($80) for 2 Gbit/s down // 600 Mbit/s up (router doesn't have any SFP port though and ethernet ports aren't 2.5 Gbit/s, so it's advertized as 1 Gbit/s down per machine max)

Luxemburg: 42 EUR / month ($46) for 500 MBit/s down // 250 Mbit/s up

Fiber to the home is becoming a reality in many countries... House in France is in a very remote area and yet there's fiber even there, since a few months.

Building in Luxemburg has an impressive (and beautiful) fiber optic rack in a dedicated room, next to the garages, from which all the apartments are dispatched (new building, wired with fiber for everybody from day one).
