Just had a new internet service installed at the moment it's delivering about 730 Mbps downstream and 100 Mbps upstream. How does that compare with what other people are getting. Surprisingly, it's not fibre direct to my desk like my ultra-fast service in Thailand - this is coax.
@Paulos_the_fog I get 200/20 over coax since that's all I want to pay for. I could go up to 1000/50.
DSL is available, but it ranges from 0.5 to 30 depending on the area. There are also line-of-sight towers that can go up to 30 or so.
Fiber is shockingly expensive to install here and pretty much just for businesses.
This is 1Gbps/100Mbps service. We are are in a small village in rural Luxembourg (350 inhabitants) so it's surprisingly fast for that sort of location. The engineer who installed it said the company were already testing a 2.5Gbps service prior to rolling it out!
4G out here in the stix delivers a creditable 40Mbps/16Mbps. So far, 5G has only made it into the large tows.
@Paulos_the_fog We have terrible connectivity across wide swaths of the US. The coax, fiber, and line-of-sight were only added due to massive state funding ten years ago. Washington's investment was a lifesaver for this smaller community. But upload speed still isn't great.
4G and 5G is often almost unusable during peak times, so I don't even count them.
One of the issues here that there are two schools in the village; both are heavy internet users which degrades the ADSL service during the day. They don't use the service we have had installed today.
