My college apartment building got fiber just as I was moving out and my current building doesn’t want to pay for it. That said, we still have more than enough bandwidth for what we need

Yeah I have been paying for the fastest consumer speeds since I've had a full time job and I've never had an issue except for upload speeds.

But I also know I'm paying a premium price for very outdated technology that is run by corporations who have zero interest in improving their services or their customer relations. All of which I have no choice in because they've virtually eliminated all competition.

Hey what's the fastest consumer speeds you can get and how much it about costs for you? I live in small town in Finland and we can get 10Gbps fiber for 100€/month (100€ = $99.67)

I don't live in a small town in the US and pay ~$80 a month for 800 Mbps down, 20 Mbps up. I could pay $110 for 1200 down/20 up and that is the highest available.
