That's right, my UK broadband in central Edinburgh gives me 6Mbps if im lucky. 1mbps upload.
I roam around in South east Asia, not the developed states such as Singapore.. In Vietnam I get 60mbps, 16Mbps upload at home for 15 USD per month. I go to coffee shops they are all equipped with 40 to 100Mbps.
Malaysia offered 300Mbps for $50 per month. 5 years ago.
And all plans are truely unlimited.
Whats more? 4G/edge is commonly covered across the country, 8Gbytes pay as you go for.. 5$
The telecom companies in the UK, US and most developed countries are simply treating customers like cows and protect their oligopoly via corruption/lobbying of officials.
- arethuza 6y agoWe used to get ~60Mbps in central Edinburgh. However, we moved out to a rural area and we get 22Mbps down and 1 up and that is really good for a house outside of a city or town. Edit: We had a problem with our BT connection recently and I almost got a 4G connection from these folks: https://www.4g-internet.co.uk/ https://www.4g-internet.co.uk/ Edit: Actual fibre connectivity was going to be a few thousand just to get a quote... :-(
- hirako2000 6y agoYes some Edinburgh blocks have fibre. And those who don't only get copper adsl. My neighbours (same block) have had fibers for several years, go figure.
- arethuza 6y agoWe live ~12km from the centre of Edinburgh and only recently got mobile phone coverage at our house - so I shouldn't complain too much out Internet speeds.
