The Telecom Industry Is Very Mad Because The FCC MIGHT Examine High Broadband Prices
(www.techdirt.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Kinda curious. Americans of lemmy: How much do you pay for internet?
I'm up a bit north Eh. Paying cad$135 (usd~$99.50) monthly before tax for Gigabit with no data cap.
I’m super lucky. Apartment has integrated dirt cheap symmetrical 1gb for ~$30/mo
Damn, that's a good deal.
Is rent a bitch to compensate? Or is that decent too.
Rents not bad (~$1300 w/ utilities ~750sq ft) but most stores are 5-10 min drive. Pretty close to perfect just wish it was in walkable neighborhood
I pay $39.99 USD for 300 megabit symmetrical fiber.
Same
$80/mo symmetrical gig, no cap, fiber. ATT is shit but they've been very reliable with this service, first time I've been a happy customer of theirs.
~$70 for a 500/30 plan on Spectrum over on the east coast for me.
Also no data cap, thankfully...
80 for 300/10 but the 300 usually maxes out around 210-250 depending on time of day. Also spectrum, also eastern timezone.
75Mbit down / 10 Mbit up with a 1.2TByte monthly cap: $30 a month.
You're going to get numbers all over the place lol.
I'm $70 for a gig up and down. My parents are $150 for 150mb down and either 15mb or 25mb up. They also have a 1 gig soft cap before getting throttled.
$137/mo USD total.
Microwave service: $100 for 100/100mbps, 1TB of data. $7.00 for fucking DHCP to be enabled on their router. $30 for an additional 1TB of data.
I have symmetrical gigabit for $75/month. It was $65 but Centurylink decided to raise it randomly a few months ago with no warning. The notification that my bill would be going up came after the date they said it would be going up and after I received the increased bill. No data cap though and no extra bullshit fees.
The alternative is through Wave that would not be symmetrical and would come with a cap.
Just went up, but not too bad: $84/mon gigabit symmetrical, and I don’t know of any data cap.
Meanwhile my ex lives in an island of darkness where her HOA has an exclusive contract with Comcast. I believe “the new xFinity 10g network!!!” Is limited to 200/20, plus has horrendous latency, and I think she pays more than me for the abuse
$56 for 500, no caps
oof getting robbed, Rogers has gigabit for around 80CAD if you negotiate with them. Assuming you're in a city with them
Only provider available at my address (Telus, ugh).

I'm sure the dark brotherhood will keep them safe
$80usd for like 200 mbit down, 10 up. Cable monopoly in my area. FiOS isn't super far away but it isn't getting closer...
~75$ for 1gb - Fiber. Otherwise looking at 100$+ for the same with a cap.
~130$ for 100 to 200mb - Starlink. From a relative who lives rural south of me and only has HughesNet as an alternative because the only cable provider doesn't want to service an additional mile for a few houses.
$120 USD for 700/20
My friend in the country pays $135 US/month for 400mbps down, 20mbps up (realistic speeds are closer to 50x5), and that's after he negotiated. Originally, they wanted to charge him $150 US. I told him to go elsewhere. He said he has Spectrum or ATT ($65 US/month for 25x5). Pity.
IDK, I think it's around probably around $100 or more because xfinity made it cheaper to bundle with an unnecessary TV service that only my parents really ever use.
I don't know what our actual speed down and up is since we live in an apartment, so that might scew results. All I know is I usually get better speeds in the middle of the night when people aren't active online.
