In my last place, also in San Francisco I had 20 down 3 up. So better down and worse up. Definitely not a rural only problem. It’s a US problem.

- fogihujy 6y agoThat's ridiculously bad! I'm deep in the Finnish country-side and I get 48 down/19 up with a crappy USB 4G modem shared over an access point running on a Rpi4's built-in WiFi chip, in the other side or the house. And we have crappy 4G coverage in this house due to the surrounding terrain. I expected you lot would be able to get cheap 100/100 as a minimum in cities like San Fransisco. Edit: grammar

- jusssi 6y agoThat's not how it works in Finland either. In last 10 years, I've lived in 3 different apartments within 4 km radius from the Helsinki Railway Station. The latest one is the first where a 1000/100 Mbit cable is available, the two others were 24/(0.8-2.4) Mbit ADSL, or mobile that slows to a crawl so that Netflix / Youtube become unwatchable at times you'd be home watching them. Meanwhile, random acquaintances from the deepest Savo report that fiber just dropping to their front porch around 10 years ago.
- fogihujy 6y agoI didn't even know you could still get ADSL here to be honest. Telia simply removed the landline cables out here (rural Satakunta) and there's nothing available but 4G and fiber. Countryside 4G has improved much the last few years. I can imagine 4G congestion being a problem in Helsinki, though it's more of a population density issue. 5G should fix that once it's more widespread.
