Meanwhile in the Netherlands, I can choose between several gigabit providers. Symmetrical on fiber or asymmetrical on cable. I’ve been on gigabit fibre for a couple of years.

Can I have that problem instead of being stuck to a single ISP that charges more for copper wire service than they do fiber in the places they have it?

At the moment €30/month. But this was a deal for a couple of months. Regular price is €45/month. This is T-Mobile btw. When combine it with a cellular plan. They give a discount of €5/month on the fiber and €2,50/month on the cellular plan.

The guy probably lives in a very rural area. I grew up in a rural area, and that house still only has access to dial-up internet. I shit you not.

You can access three bars of Verizon 4G if you stood in one corner of the upstairs of the house.

Meanwhile, I live about an hour away and have access to two fiber providers who provide gigabit internet.
