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.

In a relatively small US city, 600/600 mbps fiber and I actually get it 24/7. I could get 1200, 2400 or even 5000 but I donβt see any point. Heck I can get 700/35 on my iPhone (overnight).
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
~1000/1000 (usually more like 1300m on speed tests when wired)
$55/month here in the Northeast USA

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.
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!
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
93mbps, Germany. I could go up to 250mbps but it probably wouldn't work with the copper wires and require a new Fritzbox router.
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)
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.
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
3-5MB/s download on my computer, 1-3MB/s on my phone.
1000/250 44,99β¬
14 download and 8 upload.
800/250
My promo deal is about to end but Iβve been paying $50/month for it for 2 years now.
depends on the time of day and the status of a particular cable that runs under the ocean. anywhere between 4kbps and 20mbps.
1200/1200, Comcast can suck on these fibers. Still paying ~10x what non Americans do, but at least it isnβt for literal garbage tier service-monopoly
1000mbps / $100 / month
100
My last speed test gave me 64/67 Mbps
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
Pay for fiber 300, actual is about 365 each way
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.

400 for approx 40 usd
