$80 USD for 1000mbps in Tennessee, USA. Unfortunately I have the best internet of all my friend groups and will be moving across town to a newer home soon where the best I can get is 50mbps for $50 USD. It is completely random what internet speeds you can get. The only constant is the monopoly of Comcast & AT&T.
