You certainly won’t love the download speed of 0.94mbps or <0.12 MB. At that speed, downloading an 8 mb song will take 68 seconds. Not too amazing.Just for amusement from a couple of weeks ago at the local coffee shop. Gott'a love BD VPN Upload speeds?

Free? Nice! At my router I get 550 dn / 22 up but free it ain't. I'm not sure of exact cost as it is bundled with some cable tv. Maybe I can find a statement... $99.99 just for internet. Ouch, but overall the service is pretty reliable, rarely offline, quickly fixed when it does break. Where / how do you get internet for free?I with @MuzzMelbourne on this, it's sad in comparison to literally everyone else but I really don't have any issues with the actual performance on my computer, it's snappy, no buffering and its free

My 100 meg internet is actually $60 a month but when I signed up for it they gave me a 50% discount for 2 years, that brought it down to $30 a month and then the politicians gave anyone outside of a metro area a $30 credit/bribe per month hence, I pay $0. I'm not big on conspiracy theories but sometimes it does leave one scratching one's head.

Did not know about that "$30 credit/bribe per month" ... looks like you have to apply...

I laugh out of amazement...that is incredible
I have a dedicated optical fiber with a consistently high download speed
The technology used in France is called FTTH (Fiber to the Home). Other providers also offer it, but often experience drops in quality and speed during the evenings. My provider is the only one maintaining this speed all the time In terms of price, I pay €50/month, but I have a promotion at €35/month for 1 year. I also have 5G with them, where I often get speeds between 700 and 1 Gbps. My provider is Orange France.

My speed is 50MB, and is fiber optic, was to be at the speed of 300/500 MB at least, I have called my ISP they told me that does not reach this speed. As mine is a 50MB plan and is old it ends up being more expensive than if you paid 300 MB per month, it's bone, and you have no alternative here, in my region, or you accept this speed or is without internet signal.

Odd, normally it is 100mb / 30mb, oh well, guess my provider has gremlins in the line.

@comolokko the post of @Nevi has been removed thats good, it's a risk for privacy and especially for his security, even if his IP is dynamic or he's using a VPN, it can offer a risk for him, MT is a public forum and in the world we live in the digital age, it's good to avoid exposing his IP address to the public. I'm glad you heard me. Thank you my friend @Nevi

Seriously thinking about switching the ISP. Current one keeps raising prices. Paying 31,50€ for this, it used to be 29€. Competitor offers the same service for 25,90€.

Nevi and Marko, I am so jealous of both your connection speeds.

I've got FTTH internet since 2011.; my neighborhood was one of the first ones to get the FTTH internet in the country. Also had huge discount on the internet back then as I was among the first clients to be connected to the new network. Originally I had 10/4 speed, but after some time they upgraded my connection to maximum their HW supports (100/100) at no cost.Nevi and Marko, I am so jealous of both your connection speeds.
Then A1 bought them and quality of the service drastically decreased, prices skyrocketed. As original ISP raised the speed to 100/100 for everyone, A1 soon started crippling and slowing down the speeds "as they don't have those speeds in their offer". All technicians were fired and replaced with A1 was which caused chaos; many people was without service for weeks. In the end they sent chocolates and apology letter to their customers (I didn't get one, maybe postman ate it, I don't know).

When I signed up for my internet through Spectrum they offered that one, too (your link).
