I recently moved to a place with fiber and paid out the ass for gigabit. I just got a new game on Steam that was 130GB, and it downloaded in about 30-35 minutes. Insanity.

paid out the ass for gigabit

That’s an odd payment method tbh. Fiber isn’t available in my area yet so that may be the reason for the difference, but my isp just subtracts money from my bank account! There’s little to no ass involvement at all!

Same! I pay nearly double what I was paying for 100mbps but it’s worth it. As soon as the service was enabled in my building I signed up straight away. In the same place 3 years ago I was only getting 14mbps as my only option!

Yeah fiber so so good, I pay like $22 each month for 500 mbps. It’s a bit expensive so I don’t dare go for full gig

I once had a full gig fiber connection for free in my student apartment, it was glorious. Before that I had like 50 mbps so it’s hard to go back to that after the full gig

$22 has to be bundled with something like phone right? $22 for 500 is crazy cheap.

It’s cheap? Well call me ignorant or uninformed then.

But no it’s just the internet plan with a discount of $11 per month because my apartment complex has some deal with the internet provider.
