$180 is crazy, even for the US - for less than $100 I'm getting 1GB symmetric (which in practice has been a true 1Gb down, ~300mb up). Then again, I am currently lucky enough to be able to choose between a hone company and a cable company. At my last house, the cable company was my only option and service was not nearly as good (1gb/50).

From context you almost certainly mean Gb/s and Mb/s. mb and gb are weird units that although technically possible don't apply here. GB is possible in this context but probably not what you meant. From context this is mostly understandable, but it makes it harder to follow.
- wincy 6y agoCrazy, I get 1gb up and down for $70 a month. It’s a shame Google Fiber didn’t continue to grow, they’re such a great internet provider.
- cashewchoo 6y agoAgreed. I lived in a fiber city for five years and absolutely loved having gfiber as my ISP.
- mywittyname 6y agoYou don't even need GF for those prices. My local Bell is $65/mo for 1Gbit symmetrical.
- the_only_law 6y agoJesus, I pay that much for Spectrum's "up to" 100mbps. Right now speed test is showing me anywhere from .04 to around 40 down and about 10 up, but admittedly, my Wifi setup is less than optimal. There's only a single upgrade package "up to" 400 down.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoI get 940Mbps up and down from Centurylink, and it almost always delivers the advertised bandwidth. Sometimes I see it around 800Mbps.
