Good God I pay 90 a month for 1 gig fiber. What county are you in?
I pay $500, lol
W. H. A. T.
Sorry, it's so hard to believe, you have to explain how.
I live very rural and my only other option was 500kbps on a good day internet which doesn't work for my software engineering job. So I ended up having to make tons of calls and beg and plead and I finally found a fiber provider who would trench a line directly to my house for me.
Problem is...I'm paying for it for 10 years now.
But it was worth it.
I pay 99.95 a month for 50 megs gotta love the local phone cmpny
That's Romania. But I live in the US now.
I pay 40€ a month for 250 MBit in Germany :(
Just over that for 1Gbit in the Netherlands.
Pretty sure my parents pay even more for 50 MBit. Live in Germany too.
