Same, but before it was available in my area I was stuck with "1gig" cable that was really like .75gig because they only guarantee "up to 1gig" and 700mb is not over "1gig" therefor I'm getting what I paid for (Had this actual conversation with a customer service rep when I requested they send a tech to find out why I NEVER get the advertised speeds and my modem was reporting thousands of errors in the data between it and my provider)... and cost me $120/month with a 1TB data cap, or $170/month for unlimited. Now that the DSL provider in my area ran fiber to my neighborhood, I switched to the unlimited 1gig fiber for $70/month with no hidden fees, rate locked for life, and told my old cable provider to go pound sand while sipping wine and rubbing my nipples.
1gig fiber, London, £25/mo
