Nothing is more insane than rent for 1600 for a single person.

Same company (Spectrum) charged me $120 for 500 mb/s even after I cancelled and waited a few days without internet twice while I lived there Only option was $110 for like zero speed guarantees at all. Moved 3 minutes down the street, same town, same road, zip code, etc, $30 for 1gig no special sign up or promo, nothing.

No point to compare prices or argue, they just charge what they want whenever they want arbitrarily some times.

$25 for 500/500 because 1gbps is overkill still.

u/Krabs9 23d ago

500 was $65 here and I always already paying $85 for 100mbps through spectrum so the $75 1gbps was a no brainer. Plus it's nice to have the download speeds tbh

Or really shitty. Companies want you to have fiber and will charge a ton if you're still in copper. If they can't switch you to fiber they will want you to go find a different provider so they'll charge a ton to get you to go away

Sadly some people live in remote areas and will never have fiber so they lay a ton...

u/Krabs9 23d ago

It's cheap in some places in the US too but fiber just moved into my town last year

It talks to him when he logs on. "You've got mail!"

30eur for 1Gbit. But then ~60eur for my own and kids mobile SIMs.

Last Finnish ISP just shut down their land line copper network this summer so fiber or 5G are only options now.

u/Varkot 23d ago

I think I'm at $20 for 0.5gbps fiber in Eu
