Reading about all these >= 1 Gbps connections, I'm envious.
The fastest I've been able to get quoted to my office in the centre of a UK town is 17 Mbps, and to home it's 34 Mbps.
The speed limits are both due to old infrastructure that's outside my control unless I move. Landlords aren't going to upgrade. In the central library where they have "superfast broadband" in this "superconnected city", it seems to be capped at 10 Mbps per user.
None of those products are worth it - my mid-range phone is faster and gets 20 to 100 Mbps down at different times of day, so I use that for internet connectivity instead. I was surprised at the phone connection speed recently, when I downloaded 30GB of LLMs in 30 minutes on the phone. But the latency is noticably poor.
