- throwaway8941 7y agoYeah. I pay $10/month for 100 Mb/s with very stable upload and download speeds. You can get 1 Gb/s for $50/mo. I have been serving 10-20 TB each month with no complaints from my provider. But you have to remember that we make something like 5-10 times less than Americans. 100 Mb/s is still very affordable though.
- lunchables 7y agoThere is FTTH in more places than you might realize: https://broadbandnow.com/Fiber https://broadbandnow.com/Fiber I live in Nashville and we have FTTH from both AT&T and Google as well as gigabit service from Comcast. I think the problem is the US is really, really big and we widely deployed cable which has been "good enough" (DOCSIS 3.x at 300, 500Mb/s or more) that there historically hasn't been much incentive for people to deploy really expensive fiber networks. But it is certainly improving all the time. I think services like Starlink and fixed 5G are really driving carriers to start deploying more fiber to compete.
