What's the best consumer internet plan you have acces to? Thinking of upgrading to a 10G subscription. Did a speed test. (media.kbin.social)

I have 6Mbps (and it's not just me), if that gives you an idea on the pricing/tiers... (no other options, semi-rural USA internet, it's not even perfect service).

I don't believe fiber is available, or at least it doesn't seem to give that info (like it did before) that I can see now. Also, it's an old phone wire into our house and that's it (no ethernet jacks).

Hope it gets better over there.

I think 10Gbps in general is the max. I haven't thought about that level of speed because it's expensive, for both the plan and the need to upgrade all my network equipment to support 10Gb.

I pay $8.80/month for $1Gbps

I'm jealous, I pay like $33 for 600mbps after having opted out of paying from all the useless antivirus and filters and having my own router rather than renting.

I think different countries have different PPP, so I wouldn't say it's fair to compare directly like that. I think ease of access to such services and how much it costs in relation to wages is a better gauge.
