In Virginia, I was paying $60/month for 2/1.
I would have killed to be a 6 Mb/s "peasant".
Meanwhile in Canada, "commercial areas" are forced to use "business internet plans" (which costs more than residential, for the same speeds) and costs $86 before taxes, and is only this:Show Image(http://www.speedtest.net/result/3844567774.png)

Only 2 ISPs around here, and they both have a cap of ~5Mb/s upload for their max speeds. I honestly don't know why they do it, but they think 12dn/0.5up is considered "hi-speed".

All you fiber people. B>Fiber up north.

I'm in Orange County California, which is, theoretically, a major metropolitan area. The fastest we have is 60mbps in my area.

Only for downtown, and novus is mostly only available for newly constructed condos that had the fiber lines routed before the high-rises were built.

I "can" get fiber it will be ~$87,000 to have it run, then ~$800/mo

Hooooooooly ****. I knew about the Google Fiber programme in the US, but I never thought it was that hard to get it all across the CONUS.
A lot of our broadband is still run over POTL, but our fiber network is slowly increasing. Most connections advertised as fiber are only up to the kerb, then it's copper to the house. And even then, the fiber only comes our of a cabinet at the end of the road and a phone line from the cabinet to the ISP.
So it's mostly a sham. Although the speeds are quicker.
Indeed I was meant to be getting it by September now I'm not getting it in the near future T.T have to stay with the 11/DL and 1/Up :(Too bad there aren't fiber optic options for houses.

Note to self: If I ever move to US, don't pick a place in the middle of no where with 1 down, 0.01up. :))
