It is beyond me that you dont get symetrical connection with fiber in the US.

I am in the US and I do… In fact, I can upgrade to symmetrical 5Gb now with AT&T

What does your current connection cost per month? I get my 500/100 fiber next month for 59€/month. 1000/200 would be 79€, and that would be the fastest you can get :-/

$70/mo for the AT&T Fiber, and $50/mo for the Verizon 5G

200 up isn’t too bad, nothing to really cry over. My old connection at my last place was 1000/30! What a joke

I’m in Colorado and pay $49.95 for 1000/1000 (though i’m grandfathered in and i think it’s $69.95 for new users). There’s another ISP that offers the same at $70, or i can get 1200/35 cable for about $60.

I can get 2500/2500 for $149 and 10000/10000 for $249 (from my municipal provider) or I can get 6000/6000 for $300 (from the cable provider).

Australian here, I get 1000 / 50… don’t ask what it costs to upgrade that upload speed.

Can I ask why you pay for that speed? I’m on 25/10 and I’ve never felt it was the 25mb download cap that is holding me back.

I was pretty happy with 100/40 but I have 8 TV’s often all streaming 4k hdr from various services at once, along with my constant downloads so i had fiber installed and went to 1000, I’m pretty happy now.

I also sync ser ers between home and work so not having to severely throttle that is nice, upstream bandwidth is still awful though.
