- alibarber 6y agoHah! Well I'll counter that, in my apartment in central London we got something like 100Mbps via cable, that was an artificial cap because I didn't want to pay more (300 was available, we got the cheapest package) - thought that was pretty decent for my wife and I. Moved to Helsinki, didn't know what the options were for internet access so bought a 4G router from Amazon before flying out and stuck a pre-pay net-only sim in it (that you could buy from any kiosk) as a temporary solution. Year later (and all the WFH shit-hits-fan stuff that has happened in the last year) and it's still going strong, again getting around 100Mbps. The Finnish one is CGNAT-ed though so for any 'hacking away for fun (and British TV)' stuff I set up an RPi with a WIFI ap and L2TP tunnel to AAISP back home.
