Had a discussion with my wife that claimed, as usual, that everything is so much cheaper everywhere else. So I thought I need to find out how the reality looks like, as opposed to the best case that she read about. So my questions are: What type and speed of internet do you have? How much does it cost? Where do you live? (City, suburbia, small town or countryside) I'm having 100Mb fiber that costs approx. $30/month and I live in a suburb.

My internet is about the same as yours and costs the same in my part of suburbia. But I stopped worrying about what my wife thinks. I was single before I met her and she keeps making me feel that was the better situation.

I live in the boonies of upper-state NY. The only provider in my area is Mid-Hudson Cable. Check out their outrageous prices: [Pricing | Mid-Hudson Cable](http://www.mhcable.net/pricing/) The base rate I pay is $75/mo, not including fees, taxes, etc., that they hit you up with, so it comes out to almost $100/mo. :sigh:

I find the difference in speed vs pricing very odd. I can choose between 1, 10, 100, 250 and 1000Mb/s, with the difference in price similar to your 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 Mb/s. I have to say I'm glad that we have a law over here that states that the final price (including taxes and fees) must always be stated.

Verizon FIOS (fiber) 50Mb down / 50Mb up, $40 base + abt. $5 tax, suburb The majority of speed test sites rate it slightly higher (about 55/55). The exception is Comcast's test site, which I do not believe. It rates it at about 55/20.

If a man speaks in a forest and his wife isn't around to hear it - is he still wrong? I knew when I married her that she would be Mrs Right - I just didn't know her first name was Always.

They all are. That's how they are programmed.

here in the northern bits of johannesburg, we have 25mb fibre at home. supposed to be 50GB cap, but we were told it's uncapped until they get a client portal so you can track your usage. it's been over a year now, so i'm assuming they forgot. this costs me R706 a month ($47.85). the actual uncapped package is R361 ($24.47) more. internet has never really been cheap in south africa.

200MBs down and 25MBs upload. Pay whooping 70 Euro. Well, I live in Switzerland, near Zurich. Everything is expensive here :(

As an example from outside the US, we (UK) have 100Mb (advertised 60-80Mb achievable) fiber to cabinet, copper to house (<100M) for £46 ($60) but that includes a phone line and TV. Its difficult here to get internet not bundled with phone and TV. We are in a suburb.

35€/month, 25 Mb/s, city. Yeah, I overpay a huge lot for what I'm getting.

For the longest time it was around $89/month for 100M connection (with no data limits). Lately they're charging about $65 for the same thing. We're out beyond the suburbs which might explain that. Our provider always extremely reliable so I don't mind the $65, we don't pay for any of the other TV services.

I am a Comcast subscriber, but I do not share your cynicism about their speed tests. Their results are virtually identical to what I get from my SamKnows box.
