1200/35 for $120 US/month. I also own my own modem and router. Otherwise it would be another $15-$20/month.
Anything cheaper knocks my upload down to 20 and saves me very little. Viewing my options now hides upload rates but I checked a few months ago when my promotional rate expired and the price jumped $40.
1000/20 is $115, 800 is $110, 500 is $105, 300 is $90, 150 is $68
Any competitors don't qualify as broadband anymore. Maybe 35/5? I didn't even bother checking the price.
At least it's fairly stable and "unlimited" but I'm fairly sure they can say that and still cap it at 200GB/month or something. Oh, and I can connect their surveillance device... I mean "free streaming box"... and get Peacock at no extra cost!
'murica?
~1000/1000 (usually more like 1300m on speed tests when wired)
$55/month here in the Northeast USA

1Gbit fibre, they offer up to 3Gbit but I really donβt see the need right now and donβt have the hardware to take advantage of it right now.
Theoretically? 100. It only works in specific, uncrowded areas, and then only sometimes.
Practically, as in 80% of scenarios? Anywhere from 10 to as low as 0.03. It's bad enough that in some places I can't even load a basic website, as I can't even crack 1mbps. I also often get the "connected, no Internet" crap.
1000/1000 @ $C 75
I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000
Which is weird because I'm not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people

300/300 here. $40
25/10 for 65AUD/m (43USD/m). Australia, NBN (monopoly across entire country, technically government owned but run like a private corp because of politics). It's the lowest speed now available, but it's already overpriced. $780/year is far more than all of my wifi capable equipment is worth together, including laptops.
250/40 no caps, 70β¬/month, germany on the edge of a city. The city has fiber but weβre not there yet. Stuff is slow in germany since telekom owns most of the infrastructure and is a private company that really needs to be disowned rn!
300 mbps, symmetrical, ~30 usd/mo.
On a good day, about 30 down / 5 up. I can't Wait to move somewhere where I can get good internet
1.2 Gbps at fast.com. Very lucky to live in a location that offers fiber.
I'm paying 50eur for 250 in Germany but I'm only getting 10-15 because of the shitty cabling in our house. Yay!

380/260, for βgigabit fiberβ
40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.
100/100 for 22,000 KRW/month (about $16.50 USD).
Other options with my provider:
- 500/500 for 35,750 KRW ($26.85)
- 1000/1000 for 41,250 KRW ($31)
- 2500/2500 for 44,000 KRW ($33)
- 5000/5000 for 55,000 KRW ($41.31)
- 10000/10000 for 82,500 KRW ($62)
And that 100/100 is effective. Shit downloads fast
One of many, many reasons I'm not fond of going back to the US. Maybe Europe next, we'll see. For now, Korea is pretty sweet
Β£21/mo for a 100Mb/s VDSL connection split at 80/20: speeds as advertised, ~10ms latency. I'm living in the centre of a large market town in the North of England.
Two doors down, my neighbour is paying Β£25/mo for symmetric gigabit FTTP with negligible latency, but the fibre network doesn't extend to my property. Fuckers.
Oh, I also have a backup/travel LTE service which provides about a 1150Mb/s down and 300Mb/s up with 20ms latency which costs me Β£18/mo.
100
1Gbps symmetrical, business class, because I run my business from my home.
100(usually between 700 and 930) down. 75 up
$50 USD in a very expensive city.
3-5MB/s download on my computer, 1-3MB/s on my phone.
14 download and 8 upload.
Pay for fiber 300, actual is about 365 each way
1Gbps down, 0.7Gbps up.
Well that's a lie actually as some workers have cut the line thursday and it's down to 100Mbps down and a ridiculous 1.5Mbps up over a 4G link :-/
1200/1200, Comcast can suck on these fibers. Still paying ~10x what non Americans do, but at least it isnβt for literal garbage tier service-monopoly
On average around 40/5 depending of the day. I've got an option for fibre aswell but 4G is much cheaper

.... mbps could mean both but one should differ between Mbps and MBps.
100 Mbit (Mbps) enables a max download speed of: 12.5 MBps....

depends on the time of day and the status of a particular cable that runs under the ocean. anywhere between 4kbps and 20mbps.
1.5
980/980 fiber, $65/mo in Colorado
150/150 fiber.
390 down/340 up. I pay for 300/300, and it always tests higher, and at a price less than I paid for 100/10 service from the cable company. And it has about 1/3rd the latency as cable. Love having fiber. Worth noting that cable went to 300/20 as soon as fiber came to the neighborhood for the same price they charged before. Competition rules.
26d/46u
50/6 :( 'Murca!
93mbps, Germany. I could go up to 250mbps but it probably wouldn't work with the copper wires and require a new Fritzbox router.
