Sonic has 10GB symmetric fiber with no data caps in parts of the Bay Area. The best ISP!!!

I recently moved to Spain and got 1 gig symmetrical for 20 euros a month, and my ISP just sent an email saying 10 gig symmetrical is available in my building now for just 10 euros more. So tempting just to say I have 10 gig as I really have no use for it..

Nice, in Romania it's about 8 euros for 1 gig, unfortunately 10 isn't available in my city yet.

Edit: Just checked and for 10 G it would be about 10 euros and for 2.5 G - 9 euros, that's a very good upgrade, probably they assume that most users won't take advantage of the full bandwidth.

My ISP is Digi, which if I'm not mistaken is Romanian! Occasionally IP geolocators think I'm in Romania, even though doing a traceroute shows none of my traffic actually goes through Romania. I'm guessing they re-assigned some blocks of IPs over to their Spanish subsidiary and the geolocation databases haven't caught up yet.

I definitely don't have any way to take advantage of 10g, that's for sure. I guess WiFi 6 might be able to make some use of 2.5G. I'd upgrade for 1 euro more if I was you.

I'm excited with the prospect of possibly getting upgraded from 46Mbps to 100Mbps this year. Meanwhile, my friend sent me this to presumably taunt me... https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/d33ffb1e-4bb8-4693-b174-d...
