The Telecom Industry Is Very Mad Because The FCC MIGHT Examine High Broadband Prices::We’ve long noted how the FCC (regardless of party) largely ignores how muted competition and monopolization drives up prices for consumers. The agency often talks a good (if ambiguous) game about “bridging the digital divide,” but they don’t collect and share pricing data proving market failure, nor are they capable of admitting monopolies exist and…
Kinda curious. Americans of lemmy: How much do you pay for internet?
I’m up a bit north Eh. Paying cad$135 (usd~$99.50) monthly before tax for Gigabit with no data cap.
I’m super lucky. Apartment has integrated dirt cheap symmetrical 1gb for ~$30/mo
Damn, that’s a good deal.
Is rent a bitch to compensate? Or is that decent too.
Rents not bad (~$1300 w/ utilities ~750sq ft) but most stores are 5-10 min drive. Pretty close to perfect just wish it was in walkable neighborhood
I pay $39.99 USD for 300 megabit symmetrical fiber.
Same
75Mbit down / 10 Mbit up with a 1.2TByte monthly cap: $30 a month.
$80/mo symmetrical gig, no cap, fiber. ATT is shit but they’ve been very reliable with this service, first time I’ve been a happy customer of theirs.
~$70 for a 500/30 plan on Spectrum over on the east coast for me.
Also no data cap, thankfully…
80 for 300/10 but the 300 usually maxes out around 210-250 depending on time of day. Also spectrum, also eastern timezone.
You’re going to get numbers all over the place lol.
I’m $70 for a gig up and down. My parents are $150 for 150mb down and either 15mb or 25mb up. They also have a 1 gig soft cap before getting throttled.
Just went up, but not too bad: $84/mon gigabit symmetrical, and I don’t know of any data cap.
Meanwhile my ex lives in an island of darkness where her HOA has an exclusive contract with Comcast. I believe “the new xFinity 10g network!!!” Is limited to 200/20, plus has horrendous latency, and I think she pays more than me for the abuse
$137/mo USD total.
Microwave service: $100 for 100/100mbps, 1TB of data. $7.00 for fucking DHCP to be enabled on their router. $30 for an additional 1TB of data.
I have symmetrical gigabit for $75/month. It was $65 but Centurylink decided to raise it randomly a few months ago with no warning. The notification that my bill would be going up came after the date they said it would be going up and after I received the increased bill. No data cap though and no extra bullshit fees.
The alternative is through Wave that would not be symmetrical and would come with a cap.
IDK, I think it’s around probably around $100 or more because xfinity made it cheaper to bundle with an unnecessary TV service that only my parents really ever use.
I don’t know what our actual speed down and up is since we live in an apartment, so that might scew results. All I know is I usually get better speeds in the middle of the night when people aren’t active online.
oof getting robbed, Rogers has gigabit for around 80CAD if you negotiate with them. Assuming you’re in a city with them
Only provider available at my address (Telus, ugh).

I’m sure the dark brotherhood will keep them safe
$80usd for like 200 mbit down, 10 up. Cable monopoly in my area. FiOS isn’t super far away but it isn’t getting closer…
~75$ for 1gb - Fiber. Otherwise looking at 100$+ for the same with a cap.
~130$ for 100 to 200mb - Starlink. From a relative who lives rural south of me and only has HughesNet as an alternative because the only cable provider doesn’t want to service an additional mile for a few houses.
USA, $25 for 300Mbits down. It’s Verizon 5G Home, normally $50 but I’m bundled with my phone plan so it’s $25
$120 USD for 700/20
$56 for 500, no caps
My friend in the country pays $135 US/month for 400mbps down, 20mbps up (realistic speeds are closer to 50x5), and that’s after he negotiated. Originally, they wanted to charge him $150 US. I told him to go elsewhere. He said he has Spectrum or ATT ($65 US/month for 25x5). Pity.
