I pay CHF 64.75 (~USD 75) a month for 25gbit symmetric in Switzerland.
I can not understand how they can get away with charging 200+ for 10G. That is nuts.
But we have providers selling bullshit here too. One such provider claims 5G wireless is the equivalent of fiber. Sells 1gbit but actuall throughput is bellow 300mbit even with the best tower. Theoretical max is 2gbit but their equipment can't even do 1. Misleading customers to believe 5G wireless can ever beat fiber is just wrong.
- theodric 3y agoShit, I was paying 80.-/mo for Swisscom DSL @100Mb in Schwerzenbach because it was the only wireline option available. Eventually just switched to Yallo 4G at 15.-/mo, which was mostly fine.
- sschueller 3y agoIt looks like your area will be getting fiber around April: https://ftth.init7.net/?x=963376.03977&y=6004593.74257&z=15.63665&r=0&l=111111111 https://ftth.init7.net/?x=963376.03977&y=6004593.74257&z=15....
- theodric 3y agoIf only :) I moved to Ireland. If I'm lucky, we'll have fiber in Dec 2026!
- joking 3y ago> I can not understand how they can get away with charging 200+ for 10G. That is nuts. well, truth said, you can pay that and more here if you want a good SLA and bandwidth guarantees. But for residential use it's not needed.
- trogdor 3y agoThat kind of speed is wild. What kind of switching hardware does 25 gigabit symmetric require? Do you have 25GbE to Thunderbolt adapters for your computers?
- sschueller 3y agoOnly to the router right now: https://sschueller.github.io/posts/wiring-a-home-with-fiber/ https://sschueller.github.io/posts/wiring-a-home-with-fiber/ Rest of the network is 10G.
