927.43Mbps Down/906.04Mbps Up on a test I just ran. Advertised as "GigaPower". $80 a month for AT&T fiber, unlimited data.

Edit, That was with Ookla, just tried DSL Reports;
I got the same dang thing on my AT&T Fiber. Heck, on good days I am getting 450/400 through VPN.ac service, too.

I see you have bonded DSL too. How did you manage to get 9.6? The highest I ever got is 8.1. Do you use their modem or did you get another? I wonder how far you are from the CO? I have so many questions...

Internet $36.00 for 12Mbps. (DSL) Connected at 15.8 dn and .8 up. Actual is 9.6 Mbps dn and dam slow up. Captive customer no other options.

50/50 with Fios (internet only) @ $55 per month, for one year. Then $65, supposedly, and $75 after 2 years. or so they say....

Started with Verizon FIOS for 25/25 promo for $55/mo for two yrs. It just ended last month so I called in to say I was going to switch to cable promo and the new Frontier FIOS CSR person bumped me up to 50/50 for the same $55/mo permanently.

Was on Charter 30/5 plan. Finally joined the first world and now have AT&T Fiber 1000/1000 plan. Just tested it and it came back with 952 Mbps down, 915 Mbps up, 5 ms latency.

That's basically the limit of the IEEE 802.3 specification. Normal frame buffer size will give you ~6% overhead, which limits you to around 945-950mbps at max.

In other news I just upgraded from 150/150mbps to 940/880mbps (advertised speed, but effectively 1gbps)

I'm not on my desktop right now just the laptop so can't really do a good speed check. But Comcast gave me a 100 MbPS download. Although, the damn upload suxx at a measly 600 KBPS.

On my delicious Gigabit FIOS connection. Which I can afford again, thanks to "mining". Yay!

I downgraded a few months back to 10/1?, can't remember the up, at $50 a month from COMCAST. I get 12 down and 2 up. I did have a special rate with 70/5? which went up to $80 a month after the special ended and with it I never got more than 30 down so I figure why pay for it. 10 down is fine for just me though $50 month is still crazy expensive for it.

I've downgraded now twice in the last two years. Comcast keeps bumping the speeds a little to justify their yearly price increases, so I downgrade to a lower tier and end up with pretty much the same or even faster speed than I had a couple years ago, for about the same monthly price.

The defining limitation now with Comcast in my region is the 1 TB monthly data limit. I can just as easily max that out at 25 Mbps as I can at 300 Mbps. There's very little I do online where a downstream speed of faster than maybe 10 or 20 Mbps is of any benefit.

The one problem I do have with 10/1 speeds is I use Playstation Vue as my Tv service and it uses up pretty much everything I have. Not a problem 97% of the time but when I need to download something massive I can't do both. I just have to switch to Netflix or something else while downloading or just wait to download the file.

Cable Internet only.

75/7 for ~$55 through Midco. DL speeds are usually between 90-95. Very happy with their service. They offer gigabit here, but haven't seen a reason to upgrade yet.

Well, they came and installed fiber this week, so hopefully I'll be getting 1000/1000 soon. I'm sure we'll still have a stupid cap.

100/5 for $65 a month through Charter Spectrum. Was at 50/5 when I called about something better, and they doubled my speed. I think we were at 30 Mbps when we started with them several years ago. Fiber is available about 30 miles away, but hasn't made it to us yet.
