Is your Internet slower?

[Brahman]

That's so expensive, I pay like $45 for 75/75mbps fiber

Edit: a 3 device KIS license is also included

I live in Kochi, Kerala which is in India. I pay around 11$ a month for 100Mbps down and 100 Mbps up...with a fare usage policy of 400 Gb data, and on crossing the limit the speed will go down to 4Mbps. I rarely use 300 Gb a month..so 400Gb is more than enough for me.

I'm in Istanbul right now. I have not had any slowdowns too.

I'm jealous of all the high speeders And you! You should be punished by the internet cop for crossing the speed limit

Occasionally, Windows Updates give me punishment.
I think it was easy to popularize high-speed lines in Japan because electric wires were exposed on the ground and residential areas were densely packed.

Speedtest result remain unaffected, but noticeable lagspikes whenever I play on EU/US server. From Surabaya, Eastern Java Indonesia

I've definitely noticed higher pings in some games. Not sure if it's them (the game server) having higher traffic, or my ISP routing higher traffic.

Since the upgrade here, my normal ping times are 30+ ms

I'm hooked up through my cable TV provider. Even though I chose "best internet" only because it was the only option that fit, I haven't really noticed any slowdowns.

I honestly can imagine what a load is on the network these days.
I'm using wifi mostly, but sometimes i just have to connect my laptop to the router directly because it's impossible

Never had slowdowns the past 3 months. Always 300/20 mbit

$30/month hotel WiFi in sunny Las Vegas, NV. (Before that, I paid $50/month for 2 Mb home Internet from Century Link.)

I feel ya! I get 7 mb to the pole but only 6 mb inside the house on centurylink here in the middle of nowhere Florida. I pay $40 a month. Lifetime locked at least! That price is guaranteed up to 25 mbs (hah I wish) So if they ever up the speed and/or if I move it may get better and price will stay the same.

So, what's up with this slow internet at high price? Is it like this everywhere in some specific expensive cities?

Working as expected here.

Here in America in rural areas that is the way it is sadly. We invented the interent and have the slowest speeds average per the rest of the world!

Yeah, it's actually mostly outside of the cities. It's still expensive in the cities, but not nearly as slow. Rural America got screwed by our telecoms.

To be fair we have one of the biggest land masses to cover. Competing with Japan and Korea in speed would require a much larger infrastructure investment. That being said, the telecoms blowing off rural America is a mess, they have the money to do it they just won't.

In the US, many older neighborhoods are still equipped with 60-year-old copper phone wire, so DSL is slow at best. With no serious competition or rate regulation, monopoly or duopoly ISPs can charge as much as they like, including hidden fees and charges. Also, many apartment buildings (like mine) are served by only one wireline ISP, so it's the same problem. Cell phone data plans are even more expensive, upward of $40 for 10 GB at mediocre speeds, subject to throttling by the phone co. under the guise of "network management."

I have real good Internet from STOFA A/S.

Yes mine is very slow but at least I have unlimited with no throttling.
