To be honest, the situation across the pond is flummoxing to Europeans.. ISPs here are only service providers and nothing more. They're seen as a pipe to the internet and that's it. They often do offer 3-in-1 packages (television, phone and internet) but thats because they evolved from telephone or cable providers to ISPs and/or the copper/cable provides the signal space anyway, why not offer it. I have cable and pay €49 for 40Mbit/4Mbit. Its €59 for 150/15 and €77 for 300/30, and all these packages include TV. TV-less is the same speeds but €40, €50 and €58. And you get what you pay for, I consistently hit 33+/4+ on speedtest.net.
Copper prices and speeds are a bit worse:
€48 for 20/2 and €63 for 60/6 (although that does include Spotify), both packages with TV and telephone (can't get a separate TV+Internet deal). Speeds are a bit more janky since it depends on how many people are active on the block line, but still generally pretty close to what's advertised.
- lobster_johnson 10y agoEurope has much better, cheaper Internet than the US, but the prices you cite aren't better than what you will find in the US. In NYC I am paying $69/mo (approximately 61.50 EUR) for 50/50, and that's fiber. No TV. I have seen bandwidth prices cited in places like Bulgaria, Estonia etc. that are much better.
- lumberingjack 10y agoIm in ohio, with what was TWC but just bought out by spectrum $70 for 50/4.7
- kuschku 10y agoGermany, 34€, 80/40Mbps, no TV.
- juhq 10y agoFinland, 100/10, 29,90€/month, no TV. First year was 19,90€/month
- nsheridan 10y agoIreland: 360/36 €60pm. No tv.
- manyxcxi 10y agoYeah, those prices don't seem that great. I pay $75 for 100/100 fiber and routinely test at 125+ in Portland, OR.
- ansgri 10y agoRussia/Moscow: 50/50, $8/mo, there are better deals available. And compared to many other services, good internet access isn't limited to a handful central cities here. Heavy competition between providers.
- sb8244 10y agoAtlanta 1GB/s 69$ No TV, just net + router included
- EpicEng 10y agoYou mean Gb, right? Google fiber?
- dnzm 10y agoI'm in the Netherlands, where I pay a similar amount (€54, I believe) for 60/60 fiber with TV (two tuners, actually) and landline phone. I actually measured around 70/70 during speed tests.
- Swizec 10y agoDowntown SF, we pay $98 (€90), and speedtest just showed 89/6. I supposed it gives me TV as well and potentially a landline, but I don't have devices for that. The annoying part is that I can't get Just Internet.
