Much appreciated.

Seeing this as a German with 10-11 Mbps at max really hurts... Welcome to the 3rd world.
freecain t1_itqnvkz wrote
That's average speed. Most of the US won't get that, and even the places that do, most households won't have access to it. Considering the large swath of rural and poorer urban areas with dsl still counting as "Broadband" (or not even having that) it will take a lot more to bring up our average. The solution isn't faster speeds: most people don't even need 100 mbps (let alone 1 gig or even 10), what we need is better connectivity for the skipped over places
The solution: make highspeed Internet a protected utility like electricity or water. Allow any community to run their own ISP, and set up templates and support at a national level.

My internet speed is 350/12. I have both fast and slow internet at the same time. Fuck cable.

Mine is 40Mbps up/down. More than enough for my use case.

I used to pay for the 1g att stuff, never saw it get over 70m and usually averaged about 40m when tracking it. I sent in multiple service issue requests, they told me it was working as intended and there was something wrong on either my end or my tracker.
Downgraded my service to their 100m stuff, and I've seen no change in speeds, just a change on the bill.

i agree. with your solution ..

that sucks .. i got comcast , and friends have att fiber and they are at 980 to 993m on average .

never get att. Always have had problems with themm. I have the comcast xfi i pay 60 a month for and I get a "max" of 600mbps but i usually get over that ranging from 600-750. Crazy ive never had a cable company put me over what I pay for

Country average, just because you are paying for the shittiest satellite internet possible doesn't mean the rest of your country does. I live in Southern California but have satellite internet. I'm probably in the lowest 1% of speeds in the state; California internet is still one of the best on average.

Almost surprised not to see Germany on the list

Att and other isp companies will blatantly rip you off and throttle your speeds. If internet is important to you, it’s soooo worth it to live somewhere where you can get google fiber. I do, and truly do experience close to the advertised 1gb speeds

Yeah the Cuban system is better. Only 12% of the people have internet, but everyone gets 4 free eggs per week. Socialista!!

And Google will harvest all of your internet data instead of just half of it.
BigHobbit t1_its0hf3 wrote
It's not that important to me really. I live on a farm on the outskirts of town so it wasn't till just 10 years ago we could get cable, but they've done all sorts of expansions around us and now I have some options. To me it was more about the attitude they had about saying it's my fault it's not faster.

The countries that have high average speeds don't have high speed everywhere. They have 10 gig in all large cities like Google fiber wants to build in the US and the rest has maybe 100 Mbps.

Domt think the communist party of China appreciates this lol.
BARATHEON96 t1_its57v8 wrote
The problem in america is local cities will give monopolies to companies for providing internet. Very anti free market. The best thing to do is treat internet like a utility. Allow the state to build infrastructure and then allow internet companies to compete. Much like how electricity infrastructure is owned by the state but you can get your electricity from different sources that compete on price. Can even ocik green companies if you want. That's pretty good.
Another way but problematic is simply allow companies to compete and don't allow government to get involved at all. But it costs a lot of money to build necessary infrastructure. So many companies won't do it.

But atleast it's free lol. How socialists amcan look at cuba or venezuela or nothing korea and think that's a good system is beyond me. Funny how none of them trying moving there.

there's already a ISP in the US named EPB that has been offering 10 gig since 2015 and they are now offering up to 25 gig , but it's only available in just one city and that is Chattanooga , Tennessee

I was almost expecting to see Germany in the bottom ten. More than 75% of conservative governments in the last 40 years do leave a trace in the infrastructure.

Should I go for some Indigo work in Romania? How is there on winter?
Anyone knows?

Probably an issue with the complex. Some are just wired better and capable of transmitting that much data, others aren’t. Still a tech should be able to tell you if you’re even gonna get your money’s worth of that 1G plan.
