10/1 (Mbps) is the "guarantee" where I'm at. It's pretty rural, so I'm happy to have anything.

I would pay $200/month extra for fiber.

It still tickles me when people wonder why Starlink is anything someone would want.

The telcos were all given deals with assurances that they would bring rural America to something resembling what their urban counterparts have, but they've remained stagnant for some time now.

Starlink has finally given those people hope of seeing reasonable connectivity options. I would add in that T-Mobile Home Internet, and the likes, are doing so too, but on not as grand of a scale.

I pay $130 AUD a month for 500/50 over HFC. Not ideal price wise but it works well enough, but man the NBN could’ve been so much better.

I could go to 1000mbps, but then I’m limited to 25mbps upload which is just terrible

With who? I'm paying $200 for 250mb from Aussie BB.

Superloop! On the NBN for the infrastructure

I'm starting the process of shifting to Australia (from NZ), and this is going to be the hardest pill to swallow - I'm paying $83 AU for 900/400 currently!
