1gb symmetrical $70 a month…
40/40
it’s supposed to be 100mb/s but in reality it’s about 0.5mb/s, I’ve seen it drop as low as 5kb/s (my landlord is a cheapscate and won’t replace the busted wifi extender in my uni dorm block)
500 Mb symmetrical. It’s more than enough even while running a home server.
1Gbit fibre, they offer up to 3Gbit but I really don’t see the need right now and don’t have the hardware to take advantage of it right now.
1000 down and up. Realistically it’s usually around 970 but still.
1000/1000. Usually testing will show between 800-960 in both directions.
1000Mbps each direction. No caps. There’s options for faster but it’s almost unheard of that I can saturate the link as it is (and nearly all of my hope network doesn’t go faster)
I got pretty lucky, there’s actually 3 carriers in the area that I can choose from which is probably partly why the options are good. Although I’m paying I think $80/month. I should switch carriers again or try to cancel my current one to try to get a deal, I guess.
Oof. I had fixed a typo but fixed it wrong. Sorry, I’ma dope.
Fixed the fix, thanks.
50/6 :( 'Murca!
150/150 fiber.
Starlink. Between 20 down, to 380 down, depending on where I am. Have never gone higher.
500/500 for around 10 eur per month
I guess Poland? I know from my colleagues that internet infrastructure jumped from old slow stuff to fiber there and it’s fairly cheap.
Close enough guess. Russia
Mine is supposed to be 100 / 100 and actually is. In Vietnam, symmetrical fiber-to-the-home is actually pretty common. I think I pay 5$ a month, or maybe a bit less.
Kind of crazy that Vietnam can provide better Internet service to their citizens than the US. Not to disparage Vietnam in any way, but you’d think a country with the largest economy in human history would be able to keep up.
Well, usually competition creates more efficient prices. So I guess somehow your telecoms companies are using strategies to avoid competing somehow.
On our end, we still have quite some parts of the economy that are planned. For example, I applied for my business license according to a particular 5-year plan, and there are only certain areas of the economy I’m allowed to participate in. I can’t just one day pick up and decide that I’m going to start a butter factory or something.
The best Internet provider is literally the Army, but they weren’t granted a monopoly. The post office and three or four other major providers exist in every city. So there’s actually quite a healthy competition for customers, it seems this too was planned for. Things don’t always work out this well, but at least for Internet it worked out pretty great.
As an aside, back when there wasn’t enough money to fund State organs, they would sometimes be granted profitable businesses to stay afloat. Some bits of this are left – you can stay at a beach hotel run by the police department in at least one city. It always seemed to me a smart way to get the country out of a bad situation. This is why the Army or the Post Office are licensed to to a bunch of profitable consumer services.

Damn. It surprises me how many people here are from VN.
I’ve only encountered one other! I might still be the only VN Lemmy instance, but probably not. I used to be.
Heyyo, I’m from Hanoi!
Neat! Despite immigrating here 12 years ago, I’ve only been to Ha Noi once! Everyone here in HCMC made a big fuss about warning me about scams, but everyone I met was fine, and no such thing occurred. Perhaps ironically, my inlaws hometown is near Ha Noi :P
That was also the first time I had egg coffee, which I really enjoy these days. Sword lake was pretty nice too. I’d go back one day for sure!
