300/300 here. $40
On a good day, about 30 down / 5 up. I can't Wait to move somewhere where I can get good internet
25/10 for 65AUD/m (43USD/m). Australia, NBN (monopoly across entire country, technically government owned but run like a private corp because of politics). It's the lowest speed now available, but it's already overpriced. $780/year is far more than all of my wifi capable equipment is worth together, including laptops.
300 mbps, symmetrical, ~30 usd/mo.
Β£21/mo for a 100Mb/s VDSL connection split at 80/20: speeds as advertised, ~10ms latency. I'm living in the centre of a large market town in the North of England.
Two doors down, my neighbour is paying Β£25/mo for symmetric gigabit FTTP with negligible latency, but the fibre network doesn't extend to my property. Fuckers.
Oh, I also have a backup/travel LTE service which provides about a 1150Mb/s down and 300Mb/s up with 20ms latency which costs me Β£18/mo.
380/260, for βgigabit fiberβ
I'm paying 50eur for 250 in Germany but I'm only getting 10-15 because of the shitty cabling in our house. Yay!

40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.
Theoretically? 100. It only works in specific, uncrowded areas, and then only sometimes.
Practically, as in 80% of scenarios? Anywhere from 10 to as low as 0.03. It's bad enough that in some places I can't even load a basic website, as I can't even crack 1mbps. I also often get the "connected, no Internet" crap.
1000/1000 @ $C 75
I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000
Which is weird because I'm not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people

250/40 no caps, 70β¬/month, germany on the edge of a city. The city has fiber but weβre not there yet. Stuff is slow in germany since telekom owns most of the infrastructure and is a private company that really needs to be disowned rn!
1Gbit fibre, they offer up to 3Gbit but I really donβt see the need right now and donβt have the hardware to take advantage of it right now.
1200/35 for $120 US/month. I also own my own modem and router. Otherwise it would be another $15-$20/month.
Anything cheaper knocks my upload down to 20 and saves me very little. Viewing my options now hides upload rates but I checked a few months ago when my promotional rate expired and the price jumped $40.
1000/20 is $115, 800 is $110, 500 is $105, 300 is $90, 150 is $68
Any competitors don't qualify as broadband anymore. Maybe 35/5? I didn't even bother checking the price.
At least it's fairly stable and "unlimited" but I'm fairly sure they can say that and still cap it at 200GB/month or something. Oh, and I can connect their surveillance device... I mean "free streaming box"... and get Peacock at no extra cost!
'murica?
100/100 for 22,000 KRW/month (about $16.50 USD).
Other options with my provider:
- 500/500 for 35,750 KRW ($26.85)
- 1000/1000 for 41,250 KRW ($31)
- 2500/2500 for 44,000 KRW ($33)
- 5000/5000 for 55,000 KRW ($41.31)
- 10000/10000 for 82,500 KRW ($62)
And that 100/100 is effective. Shit downloads fast
One of many, many reasons I'm not fond of going back to the US. Maybe Europe next, we'll see. For now, Korea is pretty sweet

Starlink. Between 20 down, to 380 down, depending on where I am. Have never gone higher.
Pay for 500/500 but am eligible to get as high as 1500/1500. Don't really see the need. Ping to Boston is almost always 7-14ms. Really lucky to be able to get fibre to the home after so many years of piss poor unreliable cable that would go down weekly
depends on the time of day and the status of a particular cable that runs under the ocean. anywhere between 4kbps and 20mbps.
Pay for fiber 300, actual is about 365 each way
1Gbps symmetrical, business class, because I run my business from my home.
Tested at 938.9 down, 26.23 up.
$90 CAD/Month
100(usually between 700 and 930) down. 75 up
$50 USD in a very expensive city.
150/150 fiber.
3-5MB/s download on my computer, 1-3MB/s on my phone.
50/6 :( 'Murca!
.... mbps could mean both but one should differ between Mbps and MBps.
100 Mbit (Mbps) enables a max download speed of: 12.5 MBps....

150/20 over LTE. It's good enough, although we used to have 1000/150 when we still lived in an apartment. Upgrade of living came with a downgrade in internet speed.
800 Mb/s download & 10-20 Mb/s upload for $70/mo with a 1 TB data limit here.
On average around 40/5 depending of the day. I've got an option for fibre aswell but 4G is much cheaper

500/500 but average 530+ both ways for $50/month. Up to 5 gigabit is available in my area.
EDIT - In the US the FCC just upped what is considered "broadband" to 100/20 , which still seems sad for upload, but at least moving in the right direction. It was an awful 25/3 before.
1gb symmetrical $70 a month...
