I have two services load balanced by my router because reliability isn't so great.
Fiber claimed to be 500/500 for $55 but includes the home phone and runs at about 360/560.
Cable 500/? for $40, runs at about 550/29.
1250/40, $90/mo, Suburb if Denver, CO. Comcast. 1TB data cap.
1000/1000 Google Fiber $40/month (since I'm broke the government covers half). Utah, US
UK here.
1000Mb/s symmetric FTTP, unlimited data for £29/mo, though I'm currently paying £1/mo as part of a promotion from YouFibre. Speeds as advertised, especially moving data to my server at work which is also on YouFibre - it's like being on-site.
I've also got an unlimited data SIM card as a backup. Speeds vary but it's usually over 800Mb/s down and 200Mb/s up. That's £15/mo from Three.
Austin, Texas, US. 2Gbps down 1Gbps up for $100 a month with Google Fiber
25€, 50Mbps, Italy.
I'm literally <100 meters away from the fiber cabinet, yet it doesn't reach my house, so all I have is FTTC.
With the last mile covered I'd probably get 1Gbps up&down.
Sad.
