Ugh, it's a little annoying that I cannot get faster than 2 gigabit internet in NYC, and it cost me like $120/month. 2 gigabit is more than fast enough for pretty much anything I do, especially since most of the stuff in my house is on WiFi anyway, but I did get my house completely wired for 10 gigabits about a year ago to try and future-proof everything.
It's frustrating that NYC is a super expensive place to live, and it's behind the times with internet speeds.
- rm_-rf_slash 2y agoWorst internet I ever had was at a Cupertino apartment…in 2013. Walked a mile to the office where we had blazing fiber. Manager said a lot of the valley outside of company offices was way behind cause of the cost of installation. Hope it’s improved.
- tombert 2y agoThere are parts of NY that are getting 8 gig fiber apparently, but it doesn't appear that Brooklyn is one of those parts, which annoys me. 2 gigabits if fine, at least for now, but it would be nice to be able to increase the number of concurrent downloads I could have.
- saagarjha 2y agoJust moved out of Cupertino and the best speeds we could get was 1 Gbps down/50 Mbps up on Comcast. The other option was AT&T DSL. So…not really.
- Aqua_Geek 2y agoI doubt much has changed. The Bay is lagging in terms of infrastructure — it’s hilariously sad. My only options currently are Comcast or DSL. I’m anxiously waiting for Sonic to become available.
