Damn 30$ discount. How much do you pay in the states for broadband access. I pay about 40$ each month for a 500/500 connection.

Just got fiber in my area of the US, it’s $60 for 500/500, or $80 for 1000/1000

I pay $100 a month in a rural area for 12down/500kup by bridging two DSL connections, the only thing I can get in the woods. I can't watch Hulu and browse the Internet at the same time.

just so i get that right, you pay 100$/month for 12mbit/s down?

Correct. Insanity, right? Welcome to rural America.

When I lived in Sacramento, CA I got 1gbps down, 15 Mbps up for like 100 bucks

An hour out into the rural areas and I pay 120 for 100 Mbps both ways ON FIBER

It's infuriating
