    I pay for 1000/50, I get more like 500/50 which is fine by me. Costs 80CAD a month.

      Since you are so cool paying for things you don’t receive I’d love to sell you some crypto. I’ll sell you 4 coins ether for the price of 8 coin.

    10 Gbps symmetrical for 40 bucks a month TV included. It’s absolutely mind boggling for me how expensive internet is in North America.

        I live pretty rural and no service providers had any desire or plans to expand service to where I am. Best offering was 768kbps DSL.

        I’m in a little bit of a valley with a ton of huge trees, so Starlink would cut out every 10-15 minutes. Cellular internet was…okay…but not fast enough for my needs.

        I ended up paying a provider to dig a trench from a distant main road to my property and bury a fiber line direct for my use. It has a 99.99999% uptime guarantee which is nice.

        I’ll be paying for it for 10 years…but honestly, worth it.
