Six years ago, I nearly got my ISP to upgrade our fibre connection to 1Gbps. As I said at the time: This is a curmudgeonly post which is going to look ridiculously outdated in a few years. What's the point of Gigabit broadband? Well, it's a few years later and Virgin Media have just given me their Gig1 package for £30 per month. Nice! With all the inflation related price rises, it's great to …
In the Netherlands symmetric fiber is the standard. I don’t think any company that offers fiber offers less than symmetric speeds
I have 1000 down / 1000 up personally.
They offer plans ranging from 100 / 100 to 8000 / 8000 at my address.
The only company that doesn’t offer symmetric is Ziggo, because they made the (wrong) bet that they didn’t need to invest in fiber. They only offer up to 1000 / 50 over coax.
That’s as it should be. Lucky you. I’m with A1 (Vodaphone, 2nd biggest Slovene operator) which offers 1000/100 by default without an option to upgrade. Perhaps one can get faster speeds, but then it should get it as company at company price. The biggest one (just checked) offers 1000/300 with an option to upgrade. Perhaps I should check it out…
1000/300 sounds like coax to me. That is the exact theoretical speed Ziggo could deliver if they upgraded their network to DOCSIS 3.1… But ofc upgrading is expensive, so they don’t do it.
I’m with Odido myself. That is a rebrand of the Dutch branch of T-Mobile.
Quite happy with their service generally. The mechanics had no idea what they were doing when connecting everything up, but once it was working it all worked flawlessly.
It’s not coax, just the speed is. But you can upgrade it, they say. We have a pretty good fiber coverage in Slovenia.
