Jesus, 10Gbps!? I’m paying $90 for “gigaspeed” AT&T fiber. But, I’m luckier than most, I have AT&T fiber and Metronet as fiber providers, as well as Spectrum and T-Mobile (but yuck to using 5G as my primary source of internet).
I know, it kinda sounds crazy, but at the same time it makes sense because after infrastructure the cost for the ISP is minimal. I mean upgrading to 25 Gbps is possible for just 70 bucks, so what can I say. Although my country is comparably small and I do live in the city. So it’s not universally like that.
North America is insane with their internet costs.
Here in VN, I can get unlimited 4G for 40$ a year, and 100mbps symmetrical fiber for about 50$ a year. The biggest provider is the Army. Their customer service is actually pretty fast and good too!
10 Gbps symmetrical for 40 bucks a month TV included. It’s absolutely mind boggling for me how expensive internet is in North America.

Spectrum near me charges me $79 a month for 400mbit down, and… Get ready… 10mbit up.
I’m in southern San Diego and they have non-compete agreements with the other companies. I can’t get anything else.

The country is fucking huge to be fair, but it’s also the capitalism capital of the world.
Would have great internet too if the telecommunication companies didn’t just pocket the money for installing fiber infrastructure. Twice.
