Welp, I feel very poor now. UK VDSL 50/10mbps for the most part, about £30/mo I think.
Don't feel too bad, at least you have some bandwith. ADSL (10/1 mbps) is the only thing available in my part of rural Texas, besides satellite 🤮, and I'm paying $65/month
Isn't Starlink supposed to be ok?
If you can get it, I hear starlink ok. When looking into it there was a waitlist/downpayment that was many months out. I also don't trust Musk not to destroy starlink.
We tried HughesNet and it was so bad I happily paid the early termination fee to get rid of their trash.
The DSL connection was a big improvement, even better than a cellular hot spot in the area.
thanks, wait you pay $65 for 10/1? WOW
Yeah it's nuts. Where i came from we had a couple of broadband options but in this place its like an information desert. The house didn't even have the connection when we first arrived, it cost about $400 for the DSL install.
