My plan used to be fully unlimited download limit and tethering - but then after 4G they cancelled those and added caps because 4G was too fast for fully unlimited use.

 

At least phone plans there are better.  When my friend visited he bought and activated a SIM card and got 1 month of truly unlimited (not our scumbag unlimited that's like "unlimited! but dialup speeds and massive charges if you exceed 2 GB") data for something like £30.  Meanwhile, here in Canada most people pay at least $50 for plans in the 2 - 3 GB range.

Linus is my fetish.

Well that sucks.  all I know is he streamed a lot of netflix (like 10+ GB) and the phone got really hot :)

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I know, it's not that great, but constant IP address makes up for it :).

Paying for 100/20 fibre, get slightly higher so that's good.

Supposed to be getting 17/1, rarely ever do. Sky are utter bollocks advertsising this as "Superfast broadband"

4G for comparison, phone is on the desk next to me and testing to the same server. EE continue to impress me with speed and coverage for 4G, hats off to them

If you don't mind me asking, what's your data cap on that (if any) and the monthly bill?  I get this awful feeling it's unlimited and costs less than we would pay for 3 GB at that speed :P

It's a shared plan with 20GB cap, but I don't pay for it so I have no idea the cost :P

It goes higher but Speedtest seems to drop a little speed over the test. Steam doesn't drop anything :D

Not fiber, but for copper it's pretty damn good.
