Me over here with 40mbps taking days to download games.

I hover around 3Mbps on download, often falling below 1Mbps during peak hours :-/
It's still enough to stream YouTube videos in 360p/480p.

40Mbps would be damn fast. For me, at least.

I usually get 5-10 Mbps download during peak times, which is enough for 720p YT and decent video calls. I really don't understand why people always need faster and faster internet. Although I just checked, and I'm getting 60 down just now, which is way more than I have ever seen.

Do you live in the boonies?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nope. It's just the best €13/month gets me.

Same. In a large city no less. With new apartments down the road, less than a quarter mile away, having fiber while we have DSL ffs in our whole neighborhood. No other choices for broadband. Fuck ATT.

No, I like my ATT 1gbps symmetric with no caps

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I hate you, because ATT's fiber stops about 1/2 mile from my house. My house has never even been able to get fucking DSL.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm happy for you. I get 45 with a 1.5 terabyte cap. Fuck ATT.
