This is my actual speed



But I'm lucky because Movistar is installing FTTH in my neighbourhood so I hope very soon I'll be connected at 50/5 Mbps

How do you explain the speeds and prices in nordic countries then? I'm sure the internet userbase of Mexico alone surpasses the entire population of Sweden and Finland combined, so I don't agree with what you say. Supossedly by the end of this year we'll have optic fiber and our speeds will double for free. I hope it's true. Anyway, thanks for anwering.

The download speed is trivial for home users once you hit 100Mbps or so for now, but the egress speeds are what is important to most "power users". The ingress traffic is extremely cheap to your ISP. That's why you might get 50Mbps ingress and only 5Mbps egress. Nothing beats having a pure 1Gbps uplink that comes from over 100Gbps of bgp'd fiber. If only I could have Cogent install a loop back to my home from a gig port at the DC......

Even though they charge 4$ extra per month for DMZ/publicIP. With that much of upload it would make great Home LAMP server.

25/25 that is magically 45/35



unfortunately i don't think verizon will be upping speeds much further. they don't have the headroom to drop anything like 100/100 yet since they're very strict about preventing over subscribing.

as it stands, they have room for 80 / 40, probably 75 / 35 realistically since they split a 2.5 / 1.25 gigabit GPON between 32 people.

I used to have that kind of connection included in my rent at my old place. Upload was only ~30mbps though.
