I want to punch you, Bell says they'll be upgrading our internet "within 15 years"

I'm with Bell Fiber 175/175, 15 years is near my friend!  

 

Christ on a bike. What are you uploading? I use roughly 2TB per month total traffic. That's a mix of super hd netflix on 2 smart TV's, my own plex media server for local and remote HD streaming and some torrent uploads. 

Many 720p, 1080p movies, music, games, Netflix, Streaming games...

Aus Government is very pro they don't want us to have fiber and they on purposely throttle my internet

OH YES!!

I am going to get fiber soon!

 

Got a letter about it yesterday. Enough people in my area were interested so they will start digging down fiber (FTTH) in about 2 weeks. The entire thing will be done in ~14 weeks (as in, everything will be up and running and working). Up to 1Gbps, but that is expensive as hell so we will go for 100/10 or 100/100 (no data caps of course).

Finally I will move away from the god awful 8/1Mbps ADSL I use right now.

 

I will be able to download all my... Linux distros... so much faster!

Not exactly.

 

The municipality is the one that handles it. They are constantly digging down fiber cables in the city. Basically anyone who lives in the city has fiber. However, I live 10km outside the city, but at the beginning of the year they decided to ask the district (or whatever you want to call it, it's just ~1000 people living here, tops) if we were interested in fiber. They said that if ~60 households (about 30%) agreed to pay the equivalence of 20K USD (I took the liberty of including our more expensive prices, VAT and stuff like that in the conversion) then those households would get fiber (fiber to the home). Apparently enough people signed up so the ones that signed up will get fiber in ~15 weeks.

I didn't go door-to-door but I stopped every person I met while I was walking my dogs and discussed fiber with them. I made quite a few people change their minds (most people were actually negative to getting it, but most of them didn't understand what it was).

 

Right now we pay the equivalence of ~32 dollars for 8/1Mbps, and we pay about 60 pounds for all our TV channels, a month. With this, we can get 100/100, and most of the good TV channels we actually watch, for ~50 dollars a month. I am so excited.

Oh and one thing I really like about our (the city where I live) way of handling fiber is that it's the municipality that owns most of the fibers (there are a few places where there is ISPs that owns them). That means that pretty much any ISP can just contact them and ask if they can be an ISP. I got about 8 different ISPs to choose from, and all of them can deliver TV, at least 100/10Mbps speeds (some offer up to gigabit) and VoIP phones. No monopoly so the competition in regards to prices and services is very big.

 

Sorry for the long post but I am so excited!
