I just love my ISP. Their 200Mb/s plan is amazing!

@ sam_ 86314 Geezus that's a waste of money

Not bad for 950/500Mbps Unlimited for $94.95 per/m

Agreed, and there's nothing I can do about it. There are only two ISPs in my area with "reasonable" speeds; this one is cable, and the other is DSL.

 

[biffzinker]

this one is cable, and the other is DSL.

Are you sure it's not the other way around? The speed your getting is a disgrace to high bandwidth capable coaxial cable.

If that's what your getting with cable you'd probably be better off with the DSL cause that's almost dial up speeds have you made a complaint to your ISP

If that's what's happening with cable, then it totally could be the signal at the modem. I've seen a bad signal cause this kind of behavior before.

New Zealand has those kind of speeds? Australia needs to catch the fudge up!!! I guess it's a bit harder since Aus is way bigger & half of it's always burning every summer.

Ubifi LTE Internet Service, I am actually about 250 miles from Alpharetta. Location awareness doesn't really work at all with this service.

I have a friend who has a DSL plan from the other ISP, and their internet seems to go down every 5 to 10 minutes.

60 to 70% of the time my internet is "reasonable" (over 100Mb/s down). Still not what we're paying for. And we still get hit with outages every now and then.

I genuinely wish it was illegal to use "up to" in marketing. Force ISPs to provide the service they claim.

Surely that is definitely below a threshold or something that their quality of service is total pants??!! In the UK if our broadband dips below a set speed, we can get them to sort it out.. Mines dropped over the years I've had it but they'll never do anything about it as the cabling we have where I live is aluminium rather than copper..

Just waiting and praying that things change... That said, UK is meant to be getting 1Gb by 2025 but that's politics and I definitely ain't got time for that!!

The problem with the NBN in Oz is that the govt let to many ISP/telco fingers in the pie instead of just mandating that this is what it is going to be (FTTH) and that's that

News just in Chorus who is our fiber Provider/wholesaler to ISP's/Telco's here in NZ just announced were going to be able to get 10Gbit internet at home the big problem will be with anything going international will be just as slow as it is now except for maybe links to Oz but everything else will still be a steaming pile of Moa ( extinct NZ native bird) poo

Ludicrous speed

 

[sam_86314]

Switched from my ISP's "200Mb/s" 600GB plan to their "100Mb/s unlimited" plan, which costs a whopping $30 more a month.

Speed was great yesterday (around 110 Mb/s). Not today...



I envy those who have half decent internet providers.

That's pathetic, and $30 more?

 

[sam_86314]

That's just how it is around here. This plan is $30 more expensive than the 600GB 200Mb/s plan for "unlimited" data at 100Mb/s.

These are their plans. Add $40 to any plan for "unlimited data" (4TB and then throttling).

The "unlimited" option didn't even exist about a year ago; they'd just force you on to the next plan if you exceeded your cap.

@sam_86314 I thought those bandwidth plans was only for mobile internet.

I got unlimited call, sms/mms and data in my country in my iPhone for like £15 a month on the best carrier network.

Even my 200/200Mbit fiber internet got unlimited data

 

[Athlonite]

@sam_86314 I can't believe you guys are still screwed with DATA caps

 

[Splinterdog]

Using my mobo WiFi (5Ghz) with fibre optic service over a Huawei modem.

The same using a network cable

Internet speeds in Buenos Aires are generally excellent and you can get up to 1000Mbps. Our fibre optic service of 100Mbps suits us fine, however, my brother in the UK languishes in 3Mbps, but averages about 2 in the real world.
Living in a big city has its advantages, although I'm more of a country boy myself.

You are in Europe and he is in America internet is not really comparable.
