40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.

Right now? 10d/1u. There was a post recently about my country coming last in internet speeds in Europe
5 mbps for 18β¬/month... Fuck this I'm switching back to pidgeons.
1.2 Gbps at fast.com. Very lucky to live in a location that offers fiber.
On a good day, about 30 down / 5 up. I can't Wait to move somewhere where I can get good internet
Β£21/mo for a 100Mb/s VDSL connection split at 80/20: speeds as advertised, ~10ms latency. I'm living in the centre of a large market town in the North of England.
Two doors down, my neighbour is paying Β£25/mo for symmetric gigabit FTTP with negligible latency, but the fibre network doesn't extend to my property. Fuckers.
Oh, I also have a backup/travel LTE service which provides about a 1150Mb/s down and 300Mb/s up with 20ms latency which costs me Β£18/mo.
300 mbps, symmetrical, ~30 usd/mo.
~1000/1000 (usually more like 1300m on speed tests when wired)
$55/month here in the Northeast USA

250/40 no caps, 70β¬/month, germany on the edge of a city. The city has fiber but weβre not there yet. Stuff is slow in germany since telekom owns most of the infrastructure and is a private company that really needs to be disowned rn!
25/10 for 65AUD/m (43USD/m). Australia, NBN (monopoly across entire country, technically government owned but run like a private corp because of politics). It's the lowest speed now available, but it's already overpriced. $780/year is far more than all of my wifi capable equipment is worth together, including laptops.
1Gbit fibre, they offer up to 3Gbit but I really donβt see the need right now and donβt have the hardware to take advantage of it right now.
1000/1000 @ $C 75
I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000
Which is weird because I'm not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people

380/260, for βgigabit fiberβ
300/300 here. $40
Theoretically? 100. It only works in specific, uncrowded areas, and then only sometimes.
Practically, as in 80% of scenarios? Anywhere from 10 to as low as 0.03. It's bad enough that in some places I can't even load a basic website, as I can't even crack 1mbps. I also often get the "connected, no Internet" crap.
I'm paying 50eur for 250 in Germany but I'm only getting 10-15 because of the shitty cabling in our house. Yay!

980/980 fiber, $65/mo in Colorado
it's supposed to be 100mb/s but in reality it's about 0.5mb/s, I've seen it drop as low as 5kb/s (my landlord is a cheapscate and won't replace the busted wifi extender in my uni dorm block)
1Gbps symmetrical, business class, because I run my business from my home.
93mbps, Germany. I could go up to 250mbps but it probably wouldn't work with the copper wires and require a new Fritzbox router.
1Gbps down, 0.7Gbps up.
Well that's a lie actually as some workers have cut the line thursday and it's down to 100Mbps down and a ridiculous 1.5Mbps up over a 4G link :-/
1000/1000 for 55 eur per month
390 down/340 up. I pay for 300/300, and it always tests higher, and at a price less than I paid for 100/10 service from the cable company. And it has about 1/3rd the latency as cable. Love having fiber. Worth noting that cable went to 300/20 as soon as fiber came to the neighborhood for the same price they charged before. Competition rules.
My isp contract is 300mbps but I only get 172 on average.
3-5MB/s download on my computer, 1-3MB/s on my phone.
800/250
My promo deal is about to end but Iβve been paying $50/month for it for 2 years now.
500/500 but average 530+ both ways for $50/month. Up to 5 gigabit is available in my area.
EDIT - In the US the FCC just upped what is considered "broadband" to 100/20 , which still seems sad for upload, but at least moving in the right direction. It was an awful 25/3 before.
14 download and 8 upload.
depends on the time of day and the status of a particular cable that runs under the ocean. anywhere between 4kbps and 20mbps.
1000mbps / $100 / month
Pay for 500/500 but am eligible to get as high as 1500/1500. Don't really see the need. Ping to Boston is almost always 7-14ms. Really lucky to be able to get fibre to the home after so many years of piss poor unreliable cable that would go down weekly
1000/250 44,99β¬
Pay for fiber 300, actual is about 365 each way
100
My last speed test gave me 64/67 Mbps
