    Man I really hope so. I’m in a 25/3 wasteland. My dad, a town over, is even lower. About 7/0.8.

      Meanwhile in the Netherlands, I can choose between several gigabit providers. Symmetrical on fiber or asymmetrical on cable. I’ve been on gigabit fibre for a couple of years.

        Can I have that problem instead of being stuck to a single ISP that charges more for copper wire service than they do fiber in the places they have it?

            At the moment €30/month. But this was a deal for a couple of months. Regular price is €45/month. This is T-Mobile btw. When combine it with a cellular plan. They give a discount of €5/month on the fiber and €2,50/month on the cellular plan.

        I live in podunk nowhere, but if the amount of time since I’ve had that speed could buy things, I think it’d be old enough to buy cigarettes.

        Also I’m surprised CenturyLink is even still alive.

          They rebranded as Lumen, so they could provide the same shitty service to people who were already wary of them.

            And rebranded their fiber AGAIN as Quantum… (And somehow got q.com… So jealous…) Presumably because even as “Lumen” they’ve screwed their brand…
