#62Amsterdam, Ziggo cable 300 Mbps down 30 mbps up for 26 Eur/mo for 12 months, then 53 Eur/mo

#63Shaped FTTH, 250/50 EUR30.
Hamburg, Germany, excellent peering and latency.
500/100 for EUR40 and 1000/250 for EUR50 would also be possible.
But I'm cheap, and the 100/40 I had from the same ISP was enough already. They just did an upgrade I couldn't avoid, price didn't change, so be it :-)

#64Bellevue "rural" near Microsoft. 1Gbps symmetric from Ziply for about $90/month. With an option of up to 10Gbps for $300/m (that one's new).
I am staying on 1Gbps, but will likely upgrade within a year.
Right now I'd prefer to pay extra for IPv6 though.

#655Gbs symmetrical AT&T Fiber residential for $170/month in metro area of southeast US.
And backup than I never have to use except middle of night maybe once a quarter when AT&T doing maintenance or something… first year we had like 5 fiber cuts and autofailover was awesome, but they finally buried deeper and no more cuts.
1.2Gbs Down/35Mbs Up Comcast Cable for $120, can’t remember Internet part of the bill, $90 or $100 I think; no TV channels, but do have Telephone service for alarm system (AT&T compresses VoIP and it doesn’t work).

#67What 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.
High speed is convenient for the occasional install (apt get/npm install/nix develop). Other than that I could probably live with 20Mbits/s for web/ssh/youtube/spotify.

#68Verizon fios, 100mbos, $65. Major (for us) metropolis, East coast USA. They turned on IPv6 like 2 maybe 3years ago, yay. I'd love a gratis bump to 200mbps some day. Edit: oh snap! It was pretty hard to find plans on the website (most pages wanted me to check availability with address/email/phone... No) but I did eventually find a page that told me there's a 300mbps for $55 - $10 if I use a de it card. Called them, an…
"This post saved me money & tripled my speed." Great win!
Verizon I'm sorry but the website experience trying to do this was awful. I called & we changed my plan in like 5 minutes, done.
The person on the phone told me I could save money by switching to debit/bank-number autopay. I said, yeah, let me just go on the website & i'll do that after we chat, thanks.
Well, that took a while. Of course the vzw & fios accounts are basically separate, great, right. Eventually I got on, and then things really got bad. It showed the new plan, but instead of being charged $64.99 I was now being charged $66.66/mo, not $59.99 (-$10 for the autopay i was going to try to set up). I couldn't get the website to let me change my billing. Eventually I called & hand gave my debit card number to the agent. Then asked them to confirm what price I was going to pay, which they confirmed as $49.99. They sent me a confirmation email... and it was almost right: $59.99, the confirmation email not showing the $10 debit-autopay discount. Fine, it'll work out, whatever. Still the only thing I can find on the website to tell me what my charge will be is "Change plans" which still shows I'm paying $66.66/mo for my 300mbps plan though.
The agent also mentioned a discount for having a VZW plan. I demured that I think my grandfathered unlimited plan probably doesn't qualify, but said I was interested. They sent me an email with a link an offer. The first time I clicked it I got a huge yellow page with a tiny 320x240 sized "Server has encountered an error processing your response" in the upper left. I tried in incognito & went through some sign in flows & eventually to a spinner where it seemed like it might go,... then it threw a huge 'Exception has been encountered error, try again' in the middle of the page.
There's been a bunch of other small tatters along the way. A bunch of the flows took multiple times to go. The "Change Plans" page just didn't load a couple of times. If you use the app, like 1/3rd of the buttons on the app just open a page where you have to sign in again. There's clearly like 50 different systems held together with duck tape & shoestring, & my heavens, what a clusterfuck this pretty simple exercise was. I still can't get reliable up to date information on what to expect from the website, but the agents all say it's good & the email they sent me was only partially wrong (no autopay) but they say it'll work. My heavens Verizon, please.
I'm not sure how they would have contacted me (sms would have worked well), but also, how long ago was the new plan introduced? A courtesy notice I could get a better upgrade would have been nice.
End of the day though, this post was still a win. But I did want to share some of the travails that surrounded this.

#69France: 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.…
Which provider do you use in France?
I have Free, 40€/month for 2.5 Gbps (and an SPF in the box (a Delta)). I do not have 1+ Gbps equipement so I have 1000/600 Mbps (measured).
The contract also includes TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Canal+ Series for a year. And a landline.
After a year the price will be I Think 50€, but I will change the provider of I do not get a good deal.
The cheaper dilution is about 20€/month for 200 Mbps IIRC.
