Propaganda Hour posted:One of the first posts was "move to the US northwest if you want a good connection." Well, don't move too far north. In Anchorage Alaska I pay $110 a month for 18Mbps/1.5Mbps with a 150,00GB cap that I run over every month. Hooray! That's what you get when you only have one real internet provider in town and they just so happen to be evil. I might talk my neighbor into splitting the fastest plan of 100Mbps/5Mbps with 500GB cap but it's over $200 a month. That must be a typo. I've posted in the Canada thread a bit but might as well add to this: I'm with TekSavvy in Canada 45/4Mbps with unlimited bandwidth at $99 (or $56 for 300GB/m)  I'm very jealous of all you with >10Mbps upload. Don't let that fool you into thinking we have decent internet up here though. My work has 3 sites, Toronto, Mississauga and one outside a small town. Small town can get a max of 5/1Mbps Wireless, this is reasonable considering the location, though we usually only average 3Mbps. Sometimes it goes down to 0.50Mbps and recently we had 2 solid days of 0.02Mbps. We were told we could upgrade from 3G to 4G and get 10/1Mbps for the same price, but we'd get a max of 100GB/m and after that the speed would just drop to 0.125Mbps. They came back and offered us another package, same speed/price but this time it was 80GB/m then $5/GB for overages with no ability to purchase bandwidth ahead of time. This is for a business connection too. The home connections had bandwidth ranging from 5GB to 60GB. Our average seems to be around 100GB/m (20GB over would be $100/m ontop of $89 we already pay), so I told the rep to gently caress off until he sent me a real business offer. Mississauga, in an area with hundreds of businesses gets 5/5Mbps Wireless (with 2%~ packet loss). Only other option is DSL 5/0.8Mbps Toronto, is DOWNTOWN and they can't get more than 5/1Mbps from anyone. gently caress Bell and Rogers. Edit: vvvv Holy crap, I would too.

One of my old jobs had to do this, as they couldn't even get basic DSL service but across the street they could get a decent cable connection. It was a brand new loving building that we were in too, with business everywhere around. So we ended up getting a line at the building across the street for a small fee on top of the monthly service fee from the ISP and some decent equipment that worked amazingly well considering it was wireless and over a pretty far distance. I'm always worried when I move I will get hosed over like this. I'm on 60/10 right now and Canada is such a crap shoot for internet. Going down to anything below 30/5 at this point would make me sad.
