This isn't exactly gigabit speeds, but Charter recently upgraded me, at no extra cost, to 130/4. They've been really good about upgrading my internet speeds. Several years ago I was paying ~$50/month for 30/3, then they upgraded me to 60/3, then 100/4, then 130/4...all without increasing my cost other than the like $1/month they add once a year. I've also been very happy with speed consistency...it never dips below advertised speeds. Also pretty reliable. Maybe 1 short outage a year. Here in the US, I expect my cable ISP to be poo poo, but Charter has actually been very good and it's so confusing! I really wish they'd bump up this anemic upload, though.

Oh good, an argument where both sides know what the other side actually means, but the participants want to argue about what the other side should mean.

Panty Saluter posted:I agreed that perfomance is very good, but my point is that it's not dedicated. That's still worth keeping in mind because you are not guaranteed to have full throughput even though some people want to think that they should. It's all about realistic expectations. Yes, everyone understood your point. Even fishmech.

Inzombiac posted:Not that he added the charges but the potential money I would have to spend if he damaged the house. I have insurance but my landlord is a prickly pear about it. It would have been a lot more drilling and whatnot than the salesman had let on. This is all information that you left out. Anyway, it may or may not be worth it, but such damages would be on the installer or the ISP, but you'd have to fight to get them to cover it.

surc posted:Hey I'm moving in to a new apartment tomorrow, is this the thread to ask for advice on ISPs? I was stuck on lovely AT&T fake fiber or whatever at my last place because housemates, and am now totally out of the loop. I'm hoping to be able to stream myself playing an FPS without it looking like poo poo, and also to pay less than $100 for internet (I have no interest in phone or TV). How much is fiber still limited to certain neighborhoods, and what's the price like? Seems from the recent posts in here that hitting sub-$100 isn't hard with fiber any more I guess? You're lucky if you have more than 1 or 2 choices for broadband internet. Find out what you can get at your location.

Also, I can recommend algo for setting up and configuring the cloud-based VPN. Its a set of scripts that automatically creates, provisions, and configures a VPN server on any of the major cloud providers once you give it the credentials for your Google/Azure/AWS/DigitalOcean account.

You should just use Defender which is built in to windows.

I posted about this in the usenet thread, but seeing a new post in this thread made me think to post it here... If you have Charter they might be offering faster speeds in your area without advertising it. Thermopyle posted:Yes, I feel the same as you about Charter.
