had gigabit fiber, dropped to 500 because it was cheaper and, outside of speed tests, nothing actually hit gigabit speeds

e: also, previously my isp only had the gigabit tier unmetered, now all fiber service is unmetered, so no sense in paying more for theoretical speeds

50Mbps up/down which does the job for all my forum browsing needs

i think i must have got a silent upgrade because i remember getting a 20/20 before

DJ Commie: Feb 29, 2004; Stupid drivers always breaking car, Gronk fix car...

38/20 but at least it's free (wisp employer) and i have a /29

lte backup is prepaid reseller via sprint or something and good for about 14/3 with awful jitter so usually just leave it off

# ? Jul 30, 2023 08:44

knox_harrington: Feb 18, 2011; Running no point.

it's sold as 10 gig but I have no devices capable of connecting at that rate. so 1 gig.

I have a holiday home which for the past few years has been running off a LTE router, surprisingly not too terrible but obviously sub optimal. Just discovered I can now get 1gb fibre installed there, gonna have so much internet.

i moved to a new house recently and got a 500/500 intro offer for $20/month for the first three months from some tiny ISP

I�ll probably downgrade to 100 or 200 Mbps after that because there�s no point in having more

being able to switch isps on demand on a ISP-neutral fiber network is pretty nice

what�s the motivation to getting one of these? won�t it just cause support issues if your ISP ever needs to get involved with an issue/outage?

it's one less thing to plugin and it just looks cool
if the internet goes down i would have to plug in the bell router to verify it wasn't the stick but i've had like 1 outage in 2 years that was national news
