I wouldn't really know what to do with a 1000 Mb/s internet connection.

Is this DSL, fiber or Cable? Cause my experience with DSL in the States was mediocre, really nothing spectacular, Cable was really impressive as was Fiber

Have fun never maxing it? It's really annoying when you go to someone with a 100Mb/s line, download there for a week and get used to things being down in 5 min. Then you get back home to your 4Mb/s line and have to wait over two hours.

I am pretty sure it's fiber, the $70 is google fibre. No way it's DSL.

Pretend you are at a LAN? -shrugs-


Not all of those prices are as low as some people would think. Especially in Lousiana.
Google fiber FTW though - along with EPB.

Comcast in Cali is reasonable too - although is EVERYONE in that area able to get those speeds for that price? Or do you have to be so many KM away from this place otherwise you can only get such a speed etc?

100 Mb/s would be great. It's the 1000 Mb/s connection that I wouldn't know what to do with.

Business wise, I'd pay that for such speeds... Is there an FUP with these accounts? Capped, uncapped?

I agree, for a business these prices are waaaay better than what my company is paying for our Neotel lines. Ouch.
For a personal home internet account, I am sure there are a fair few people on this forum who are spending in a similar region for their internet each month although majority I do not think spend that much.


Last I heard the ISP's in the states, I know Verizon at least, still have a FUP. Had an online friend who had a Verizon connection back in 2008 / 2009 and his FUP was around 400GB a month. I think he was getting between 24 - 30Mbit download and was paying around $50?

Was a while ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy.
