"Planning to hook up 1gbps"?
A lot of people can get a gigabit (or sometimes, half a gigabit (I live in a tiny village)) for years now. In 2016, Tweak already offered 10gbps for 95 euros per month to a small region[1], and recently announced they'll expand that for 89€/month to anyone who currently has access to 1gbps[2]. Their gigabit offering currently costs 39 euros a month.

- pteraspidomorph 7y agoMy server in the Netherlands has had a 1gbps connection for almost a decade. I've had 1gbps at home (in Portugal) for a couple of years and I can reliably transfer at about 900mbps between home and server at any time of the day; Other tests confirm that both backbones are excellent. The Portugal connection is about 50% more expensive.
- mxuribe 7y agoAwww man...for several years now, maybe a decade now, I've been saying to myself that living in the U.S. sucks...and here's one more reason. </sigh>
- chocolatkey 7y agoI live in the US and have Centurylink gigabit fiber at a pretty decent price. Upload speed is always as advertised, download except during evening hours
- mxuribe 7y agoI'm glad for you...but sadly, the same experience that you've noted can not be had elsewhere in the contiguous U.s.
