Which ISP?
Normally they are all charging 45€ in that speed range.

Adsl 2+ is still the standard in Australia, you can get optical here with speeds of up to 100mbs which is currently 'rolling out'. But Australia is large with low population, we can't afford these technologies unless we all are prepared to all live in Tasmania.
I just hope that 100mbs becomes the norm sooner rather than later.

Must be an special regional offer
Normally they are offering 100up/6down for 40€

Uhm... I get 20Mbps down and 2 up for 20€ per month. Thankfully it's "fair use" (as in unlimited), because I hit the 40-50GB WITHOUT downloading, only through gaming and SKYPE.

15mbps here and it's $40/month. The USA is quite poor on internet speeds and pricing compared to the other "luxuries" we have and take for granted. 🙁

It's something they're offering for people who sign up for their service. Apparently they have to convince building management that their services would be worth installing. Anyone who signs up gets the reduced rate, looks good though. I'm not sure if I actually need the 1gbps connection though at this point, the 10mbps isn't the quickest but I'm hardly struggling with it.

Wow, just scratching my head. In Nigeria 1GB internet data cap at speed of 1mbps cost $22 per month. My country a village in the internet scheme of things

It's depressing that USA can't reliably give 100mbs at a reasonable price. I can't even get 50mbs reliably.

I don't even know how fast my Comcast is supposed to be. I think the theory speed is 25mbps.
The fastest downloads I see are from Steam or Origin...maybe 4mb per second, usually drops down to 3 after a while.

Meh 80mbs/25mbs is good enough for me at the moment. Games are done in around 10-30mins depending on size and streaming is fine in the house so 10gbs just seems like overkill to me. I will be interested in 1gbs+ however at a reasonable price but I simply do not have a use for that much speed at the moment, so unless you can start streaming Bluray quality film/audio/3D or 4K content I really don't see the need for home usage.
Enterprise however I can see a big uptake as this would be fantastic for DFS services, Datacentres and back up technologies between offices.

Seriously pisses me off. We get so screwed with Internet & Cable prices (don't even get me started with property, clothing, food, etc) its a travesty.

I pay $60 for 75/75 but I often get closer to 90/90 in NJ but that's also with TV package.

Amen to that...im supposed to get 16mbps peek but lucky if i get 11, over the last couple of yrs ive moved closer to my little towns telephone exchange and despite being told by talktalk on numerous occasions that the closer i am the better the speed im not seing the evidence, about 2 yrs ago i was about 1000mts from exchange and getting 14-14.5mbps but im 200mts now and getting 11 max and thats on a high spd profile which talktalk set at there end.

I've had 2mbit since 2006, before that I had 0.5mbit since 2004 and previous to that I was still on 56k. Supposedly my exchange is being upgraded next year. Hope so, I think I'm due an upgrade. Can't complain too much though as although all the scenery around me means I'm the last house connected to my exchange, the views are worth it.

chimchim
Any improvement on latency?
icedman
I noticed the same fastest downloads i can get are from them and on my 10mbps all i can get is 1.2mbps download speeds, and wierder yet when i do those online speedtests shows i get 7-8mbps so i dont get this at all.
EKRboi
Damn, and in "the greatest country on earth /sarcasm " the best I can get in a pretty big city is 50mbps and pay over $100/month for it... ... ... wtf.
I'm on the 30/7 plan now, I tried the 50/7 plan and it just made no sense since they would throttle crap anyways. While South Korea is looking forward to faster speeds than my mobo even has a port for I am looking forward to Time Warner "graciously upgrading" their plans where my 30/7 would goto 300/20 (I believe).. but that will probably be in >=2016 =/
