How much do you pay? How fast are your your real world speeds? Where are you located?

Rural Oregon. 1gbps up and down. $600/month. I never go below ~930mbps each way.

Is it that much due to living in the rural area and you’re paying a loan off that build the infrastructure for you to have gigabit internet in the country??!

Yeah, sorta. Nobody would provide internet to where I live, so I finally convinced a company to trench fiber to my house for me.

Unfortunately I’m paying $500/mo for like 96 months now so they can offset the cost.

Worth it though. My alternative was 512kbps DSL that would have outages daily and I’m a remote software engineer. It just didn’t work.
