This is why I hate the proletariat

>2017
>not having high speed internet

Explain yourselves...

I live in the US and don't like overpaying.

But I do.

I only pay like 38 euros, 45 dollars per month

Australia is a great place. $100 USD with a 500GB cap

Its too expensive in muh country and even yet it's slow kek

I live in bumfuck Alabama and internet is includes with my rent and I get 60 Mbps down. No excuses fuck.

small town in a mostly rural area with no cable or fiber, cannot get more than 10 down / 1 up adsl2

Twice my speed kek

I'm sure you've got plenty of excuses for not being able to speak English.

I'm p drunk desu fampai but u got me

Drink lots of water.

Having a data cap for your home internet? That sounds fucking shitty

Im paying $70aud a month for 100gb cap and I wont even post it here but 2mbps down 1mbps up. Consider yourself lucky you dont live in WA. And the subsea cable from Perth to singapore has broken and wont be repaired until late October so big latency issues.

SOFAking upset that this is provision limited. Look at this amazing pipe. Artificially limited.

Rumors are frontier will start upgrading the more profitable areas to 1gbps (like Verizon FiOS has done this past year in the North east).

Verizon and their abandonment... It seems to trickle down.. still fuck Verizon.

Yeah sucks for those in the areas they sold off for sure, but Verizon purchased 12.4 million miles of fiber optic cable back in april. So at least they seem somewhat committed to their north east portion they didn't abandon. That and they upgraded most of the north east to $70/month 1gbps.

They're pretty well liked around these parts compared to comcast or time warner.

I heard they abandoned all fiber rollout. If they are still rolling out that is something.

Well they committed to buying $1.1B worth of fiber over the next 3 years from Corning. It will mostly be used to expand the existing fiber network to facilitate the 5G micro-cellular sites. But it's expected they'll be doing some FTTP FiOS installations along the routes they'll be expanding along.

So it likely wont be a full build out as the primary goal still isn't to expand for more residential service, it's to expand for their 5G cell network and along the way they'll probably hook up businesses and residential units that happen to run in the way.

I got pissed off when cox put a 1TB data cap recently
I can't imagine having to deal with half of that
you do get faster down though

...

Whose dick do I have to suck to live where you live.

That's obviously a university/college broadband. How new are you?

That's Soviet Russia.

Even at those speeds it's not worth living in that shithole that you call Russia.

Maybe. But why first world countries don't have adequate internet in 2017?

They do see

5G will probably be the best solution to getting high speed internet delivered to large areas of land in the US. Especially the parts with low population densities that makes rolling out fiber or cable a waste of time for ISPs.

Where I live at the population density is so high you can find high speed internet almost anywhere in the state. But in bumfuck no where 5G might be there only hope from satellite or dial up. How far can 5G signals go from one tower?

Lol no.
>< 50 mi

What's your excuse?

Not very far, it's why they're opting for micro cell sites. If you've got fiber backhaul though you can get ~40gbps on a single fiber strand and it can go 20km without any active repeaters, so if the 5g micro cell sites are cheap enough to deploy there should be plenty of backhaul bandwidth for long run deployment into more rural regions.

Who cares if they've abandoned rollout? Ive had their service for a decade.

Also in the US $70/ month for gigabit is a great price, and it's Verizon so no data cap.

liar

Cellular has created its own rules for unfair play. Invasive DNS, metering, blocking on a scale unprecedented on terrestrial connections. This is their wet dream, to force all connection to wireless where they are unfettered to create harmful rules to monetize content. Fuck Verizon with an iron dildo.

I heard that in most places a 100mbit uncapped connection still isn't available. That's a >1990 tier.

5G and the future of cellular is clustering. Increased access point density and short range. Not really feasible for rural access. Even the 700mhz spectrum Tmobile picked up, which is largely in metropolitan areas, is unusable for many years outside large towns, where holdout analog broadcasts restrict placement.

$22 USD per month

It's actually a gigabit connection, but this test is on WiFi on my phone

That seems totally legit. I'm sure you just used your phone because your computer was busy rendering a documentary.

Come to Romania. Gigabit broadband internet, no data cup, for 8.49 euro/month

Lots of hunky cam whores too. Can't be that they spend all day working out and on cam cause there is no work... right?

Don't be jealous

Don't suckle the jelly-cicle.

Starting to get decent Internet here in Canada.

I aint lying, french fiber is quite good, I live in Paris so I can have an above-average speed

Because Australia is a backwards shithole

pay for 25-100mbit over $100 a month and barely get 1-20mbit during peak times

Yeah well that's the price you pay for living on the edge of civilization. Just think tho, the nuclear fallout will reach you last.

bullshit i was getting full 25mbit and 50mbit only mere months ago

our network is going down the drain and you wunna know the timeline they gave me to fix it?

Over a fucking YEAR

Not to paraphrase Top Gear but.. isn't everything a year apart in Australia?

It'll reach Aussie before it gets to me

Yeah who cares about other people right

Not to critique.. but it would be more representative if you chose a node not on your little island paradise.
