Wow, this is awful. I live in Portland, and have symmetric gigabit fiber from CenturyLink for $65/mo. Honestly baffling to me that people tolerate the politics of Silicon Valley.
- fossuser 6y agoI come from Western New York, where (at the time) 20mbps was the best available option and it was over $100. I hear things are a little better now (though 100mbps may still be the best available), but the options here are way better. I think 2gbps is rare to find anywhere?
- notJim 6y agoSure it's a great speed, but $300/mo plus a $2k install just to get a decent upload? Seems like market segmentation where they're basically just ripping anyone off who wants to run a little server or backup their files to the cloud.
- fossuser 6y agoYeah, it'd be nicer to have symmetric gigabit for less, but the gigabit pro is actual fiber to the home (it doesn't run over coax lines). Comcast includes a Juniper ACX2100 switch for layer 2 and bringing the fiber into the house. I thought that was pretty cool. (Well 'includes', you have to pay to rent it from them.)
