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.

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

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?

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.

Affordable Connectivity Program

Due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the Affordable Connectivity Program has ended for now. Effective June 1, 2024, households will no longer receive an ACP discount.

Did not know about that "$30 credit/bribe per month" ... looks like you have to apply... I bet they ask questions... violate privacy... & if you prevaricate, go to jail...

I laugh out of amazement...that is incredible The upload speeds are incredible as well, and a 2ms Ping? It makes me want to cry compared to my speeds, so I'll just laugh.

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.

@Nevi forgot to blur his IP address lol Be careful not to get hacked through your IP

 

[comolokko]

Since I don't have infrastructure, my speed is like this, I was using 10gbit in my shop.

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.

 

[Morro]

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

 

[Nevi]

Thank you piquiteco!
I had my livingroom full of people, so I forgot the IP.

This is wi-fi.

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.

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).

I really miss Amis Telekom, almost got tear in my eye.

When I signed up for my internet through Spectrum they offered that one, too (your link). I didn't check into it, maybe I should have.

I am on WIFI at the moment, on my internet plan if I am plugged in via ethernet I get about 320 down and 110 upload.
