ISP doubled downloads but left up pretty lame.

Common amongst North American Cable based ISPs I am afraid.

Even with my power on and the full heft of comcasts "gigabit" plan, they only give you 40mbps upload.

4 dollars per months, 300 mbps plan, wireless with chinese AC router and Intel 9260 wireless card

My ISP also has 1gbps plan for 8 dollars per months.

The DSL provider here ran fibre in my neighborhood this summer. They're offering a package with 950 down and 750 up. Sounds awesome until you see the 1TB monthly cap.

I have a 1TB monthly cap, too. Comcast...

And what are you doing inorder to go through a 1TB data cap , in the last 4 years of having unlimited data (yes it is truly unlimited data) I've only ever gone over 1TB in a month three times but mostly I sit around the 500~650GB mark

Wife has to sleep with the damn TV on (irritates me to no end). She used to run movies/tv shows off Amazon Prime or Netflix. If she woke up at 3 in the morning and the show/movie was done, she's start another and sleep. She ran up nearly 750GB on her own every damn month.

Plex server kept my household from going over 1TB - got close a few times (950GB+). Got all the movies and TV shows from DVD/Blu-Ray copied over, plus I can record live TV. We rarely break 500GB a month now because the wife just streams shows/movies off the server.

Verizon FIOS (optical fiber) with 150Mbps contract.

PS: I have tried for a short time the Gigabit connection and, even if it showed the appropriate numbers, didn't do really nothing for me in day to day usage. So I decided to drop down, save some money.

Verizon Wireless on my Samsung S9 (SM-G960U1) and S7 Edge (SM-G935U):

It's pretty easy to eat that up with multiple 4K Netflix streams.

 

[EarthDog]

Dtiched cable, and jumped to 400/20 speeds... Getting way more than that on DL, not getting the upload at this moment.

 

[phill]

Looking at this thread just makes me feel very sad

4K (3840×2160) 8000-16000 kbps ~3.5 GB to ~7 GB per hour.... holy crap noodle

 

[Hockster]

Yup, and have 2-3 streams going and it skyrockets in a hurry.

 

[hat]

Yup, video streaming has caused us to buy a $50 unlimited data allotment. Our internet bill is now near 120/mo... it's definitely a nice way for the telcos to recoup losses from people who ditch cable tv for streaming services.

on my VPN ^

w/out VPN (off) same server v

Slightly faster but, much less secure. It's worth the hit, to me. Also, for a VPN? Best performance I have found, in my limited research.

Isn't Spectrum using Docsis cable? The fact that you only have 20mbps uploads kinda indicated you are still on cable.

How did you ditch it?

As in cable TV... I don't have cable TV but using Spectrum's internet.

I just switched from my cable connection 500/20 package with speed boost I normally hit 600mbps but for some reason I was hitting 750mbps as of late.



However new connection is superior

To fiber 1Gbps down 750Mbps up

Is this even affordable? Last I saw you guys had insane prices.

Cost for me is $54 a month on a 12 month discount.

Regular price is $104 and this time next year I will just call in to renew the discount

So the answer to your question is yes. Whatever pricing you saw before is out of date.

 

[Athlonite]

Regular price is $104

That's pretty much what I pay here in New Zealand per month for 1000/500Mbps + VOIP phone and true Unlimited data

 

[ArbitraryAffection]

here is mine

Our ISP is SeeTheLight, and we have FTTP.

we pay £31.50 a month for this connection of 60mbps down and 12mbps up. This package includes unlimited downloads and uploads and includes our land line and evening and weekend calls too.

here it is https://www.seethelight.co.uk/broadband-and-voice

120mpbs package is much better value for sure but 120mbps download is wasted on me lol. if i want to download a game i leave it on overnight~

 

[Athlonite]

@ArbitraryAffection that's pretty poor service for the price 32 quid ( NZ$60.24) is what I'd pay here for 200/100 + unlimited data and a VOIP line
