Swedish consumers can now get affordable 10gbit internet

And it's even synchronous. Funny to read their router specs though. 800Mbit wireless and 4 LAN ports with 1Gbit each. How would you even use that? I would be so glad to even have fibre and not that crappy DOCSIS shared medium crap.

The price is 37 USD/mo for the first 6 months and 61 USD after that.

Is there a map of locations available? I would immigrate for this. I would like to look up homes for sale in the available areas.

I can’t figure out what to do with my near gigabit access. My hdd is slower than my internet so file transfers can’t sustain it for long. My Usenet binary downloading server also can’t keep up when par checking.

I can't figure out what to do with my 100/100megabit connection. 4k youtube is nice, but that's about it.

Running a Warrior locally? https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior

Video streaming server for your CCTV cameras, VPN for your cell. phone w/ access to your local media server?

Get 2 or 3 teenagers and you'll see what!

I don't think you can even get a reliable 10 gbit PCI card for under $200 USD.

I would take unused potential over realized bottleneck any day.

Consider that, at least in the US, local internet monopolies typically offer far less for far more.

You can, especially in the used market. I got one for $12 and a dual port one for $30. An Aquantia thunderbolt external one is ~$250, and a PCIe card is $99.

You can get Mellanox ConnectX-2 on Ebay from 12USD, these are excellent enterprise NIC's. They also consume little power as they use around 5 watt.

Fast, cheap. Not thanks to net neutrality,

Why do I suddenly feel like I've been duped? My American internet is something like 5% this fast and costs twice as much.

Not thanks to Net Neutrality, sure. However, trying to say you, in America, don't benefit in both speeds and price from Net Neutrality is absurd. Corporate and social culture is vastly different, and incomparable between Europe and the States.

For example, try applying your view to another issue:

"Norway. Safe, sound. Not thanks to gun regulations!"

Sure, Norway has roughly equivalent gun rights as the US; despite this, it's safer to a vast degree. The culture between the United States and Norway is far too different for the same rules and regulations to apply, and the outcomes of them being put in place wouldn't be particularly close to the same.

The same applies to regulations on other things.

Note that gun regulations are actually rather stricter in Norway than in the US. For example, automatic weapons and many high-powered guns are completely banned.

That said, I do believe that the relative safety of Norway is due to other, cultural factors. (I'm Norwegian.)

Automatic weapons are also banned in the US.

Since 1934 automatic weapons were required to be registered with the ATF, in 1986 they stopped registering new ones. You can still get pre 1986 automatic weapons, but you have to pay out the nose for them.

I don't think a registered automatic weapon has ever been used in a crime.

Despite gun laws, there was that guy who killed 100+ people, and also bombed a building.

I'm pretty sure Mononokay picked Norway specifically to derail discussion with a Breivik/gun control flame war. It only stated an opposite position and then changed the subject. Seems like a bot.
