#72Advertised: 10gbit fiber symmetric - $30. Real: ~5gbit upload, 2gbit download (max); ~800mbit up & down (median) Sonic, San Francisco Bay Area
How does that happen? Fiber shouldn't have congestion, right?
I attribute it to the speed test I server which is picked up - it is not the ISP provided one, so I assume there will be some variation of the measured bandwidth. Manual tests against the ISP provided instance is much closer to 10gbit, but I haven't bothered to automate it yet to graph it.
On other hand, my understanding is that fiber is not immune from congestion problems - the only difference is at what point it happens.

#73AT&T Fiber in Round Rock, TX (Austin metro area)
940 down; 939 up - per Speednet's macOS app via Ethernet directly to AT&T's supplied router.
Unfortunately, I'm paying $80.42/mo. as I'm well past all the offers they're willing to give. Still - overall pretty reliable, except when we have a power outage (not AT&T's fault) and it takes (on average) 15-20 minutes to get back online.

#74Contract: 1GBps down, 200 Mbps up.
Actual: 850-900 Mbps down, 180-200 Mbps up
Price: €50/mth
Provider: Vodafone
Location: Ireland, rural area.

#75UK, would get ~15 down and Strongly affected by signal strength, so I sometimes open the window to "let more internet in" which can dramatically improve speeds.
Very eagerly awaiting a proper fibre connection which would be symmetric gigabit for something like £40/mo.

#76Australia: 50/20 Mbps @ 79AUD (~53 USD) per month. My speeds are actually lower than in 2019, when I was on 100/40 for the same price - but that was with a 500 GB per month data cap.
Also Australia.
Getting 790/50 Mbps for ~USD$100 (paying for 1000/50).
Our 'NBN' is luck of the draw with which type of connection your street has, and then dependent on what state your 30+ year old underground copper is in.

#77I pay for gigabit internet, but this is my results on Speedtest with Wi-Fi.
545mb/s down, 41.6 mb/s up. Xfinity 2 year promo $79.99.
I don’t recall what it goes up to after the promo.

#781gbps (symmetric), 110 (or so, it’s gone up and I haven’t committed the new fee to memory)
Re: Ask HN: What's your residential Internet speed and cost?
#79India - Airtel -
300 Mbps (symmetric) - INR 999 ~ US $12 / month (unlimited data)
Re: Ask HN: What's your residential Internet speed and cost?
#80Switzerland, Init7 10/10 Gbps for 66CHF (~$70) / month. Unfortunately my router can't firewall packets at 10Gbps so I get around 1Gbps effectively. :)
Same.
A friend told me to have a PC router to increase speed.
