Internet speeds - Whats yours? - Need for investment potential

[irishbeast]

Long story short but I am thinking of investing in a project which people can sell their GPU power. My concern is that you could have great GPU and a crap connection so just asking people what their speed and location is please. Post evidence if you like. Bet some of you stateside have insane connections!

 

Also what speed do you pay for?

 

I pay for 1gig and get close most the time and occasionally over. Its the fastest you can get in the home in the UK

I wish this were true! They will loby together so that one provider doesnt work within another's area so they can price and speed gouge. Duopoly? Idk what its called. But where I'm at (Pennsylvania) there was only one provider for decades. It was 50 bucks per month for 15mb down and 2mb up. Since then that's changed. I don't know the pricing now, I know it's higher. But we now get 100mb down and about 10mb up. They charge an extra fee for only having internet and no cable. Shit here is wack if you don't live in a big ass city. (even then our area is recently built up but all infrastructure is lacking.)

America has shitty ISPs. In many areas we have one wired provider. We have a 100/20 connection with a 1.2 TB data cap. $10 for every 50gigs we use over the cap. They are the only wired provider in the area. I think we pay $66/m, but it’s near the time of the year where they jack up the prices.

30d 5u so horrible. Looking into potentially switching to coax as speeds can be faster on it. No fiber available.

This sounds like how a KitBoga video starts. They aren't asking for the investment in gift cards are they?

I get what I pay for. It still amazes me that this is the lowest plan. I remember when 50Mbps down was pretty good. Now 130Mbps down is somehow considered bad even though it's been fantastic for me.
