Well that’s the best I can get for a “fair” price.
Otherwise I would have to subscribe to vodafone for a cable modem connection, what I definitely won’t do or pay for an overpriced fiber connection, what I don’t want to either.
Welcome to Germany, where the internet is something to be explored in 2025!
I’m lucky enough to be one of those people who have an option and don’t have to choose LTE as a last resort.
For where I am we kind of do have a fibre option for my area but the infrastructure was installed by a separate company so only they can use the infrastructure, while the existing copper infrastructure is the same lines the other 5+ broadband companies use and share. So if I were to go with Fibre you would basically be stuck with one company with a monopoly over their lines.
At least for me I would like to have faster connection to fibre, but I wouldn’t go much faster than the max speeds of my SSDs unless I had a need for a large amount of bandwidth to go beyond that.
Can’t say that I’m not a satisfied costumer. There are other ISPs with better upload speed but with lots of packet loss | traffic shaping at peak hours.
In area where we live, maximum speed for Internet you can have is 1000M. We currently have 300M for discounted price, but it’s going to expire at the beginning of next year, so we’re waiting if there’s an another offer on the sight.
However, I think that only if there’s something like once in a lifetime offer about 1000M, we’re going to take that, otherwise we’re going to stick with lower speeds. 
100/10 Fiber To The Cabin technology.
I am streaming a movie right now, so I believe it should be closer to name speeds.
Wow, that’s expensive! I pay 48€ for 1GB Internet, TV with 120 HD channels, a landline, and three phones with 40GB of data each and I’m living on a small city 
same here
Many including myself would say that your deal is extremely reasonable 
I didn’t know we could run speed test in the terminal. I’m not on my computer… any particular package needed?
About a week ago I upgraded from 150/50 to 700/700 fibre, and my ISP is nice enough to also give me higher speeds at night… which can be anytime, so I randomly get 2x of that. Last time their ‘night’ kicked in around 1100.
By the way, half of my home’s network infrastructure relies on a 20m cat5e cable… with destroyed connectors. I just have to pray it doesn’t randomly disconnect, the speeds fall to around 150 if that happens
Hi mate, it’s ookla-speedtest-bin in the AUR .
I saw @thefrog has it and though oh yeh, I’ll have some of that. 
Charter/Spectrum , paying (dearly) for 400 Mbps. No symmetrical download/upload. I guess we are not located in what they call a Hi-Split area. There is no broadband competition at this address. My understanding is that someday Spectrum will offer what they market as “fiber”, but it is actually coax/fiber hybrid and doesn’t perform much better than their regular broadband offering. If there ever is any competition here, I may give them a try if the price is competitive. I am not brave enough to cancel and give T-Mobile 5G internet a try.
Yes … there is speedtest-cli and others.

Got you all beat. . . lightning fast. . . .

Oh it’s worst. I am “lucky”, in the villages there are only copper wire, you pay for 24Mbps (the max) and you have 4-8-12 Mbps if the stars align.
We have “southern” salaries, with “northern” -and more- cost of living. 
A TALE OF 2 THREADS (IN ONE)
I was really intimidated to post mine this morning. The first half of this thread was just phenomenal numbers I will never have in my lifetime nor do I care. I have poor man numbers courtesy of the stinkiest internet service (several outages a year) ever made: CL.
The second half of this thread made me feel like a Prince!
Still. A download of 15GB or more will take hours (on a day off). Again, it’s not that important.
I just may have the service that suits me (except the several day lackadaisical outages part). If I was poor and I gave a sh** about fast download speed I would probably more disappointed then I already am 
And this mediocrity costs about three and a half $20 bills…
I think this is impossible in my country
