Fiber Optics

[JKIA]

I would like to know how much it costs in your area if it is in your area yet and what are the specs on fiber connections?

[dr0w]

i can get a 10/10 Mbit connection for about 60$ per month :)

[yellomello]

Up to 5 Mbps/2 Mbps
$39.99
Up to 15 Mbps/2 Mbps
$49.99
Up to 30 Mbps/5 Mbps
$179.95

[007™]

16/1 = 100 Cad
10/1 = 75 Cad
10/10 = 175 Cad
100/100 = 899 Cad

[mifune]

2/2 20€
5/5 40€
10/10 60€
thats in croatia

[r4cc00n]

10/10 would probably go for $50 in california.

[bombi]

10/10 Mbit/s - 17€
50/50 Mbit/s - 25€
100/10 Mbit/s- 30€
100/100 Mbit/s- 32€
1000/1000 Mbit/s-65-85€ this is only in Lund , but i hope it will come to the rest of Swe..

I should also say this is home connections..

Sweden..! where else :)

Here is it about 1gbit in Lund- http://www.labs2.se/pr/press2004113001.html Labs2 WTF!


you can get it even cheaper but it all depends on where you live...I have friends with 100/100 full duplex and they pay 25€ per month...

[ibnahmed]

my dia up is 20 euros for 41 hours of use, middle east :D

[leeter]

100/100 $30

[walczanin]

damn
u wanna know my "fiber"?
512kbps/128kbps for 20E
hahahah
damn

[Tokeman]

holy crap, is this for a home/buisness connection, or virtual server...?
I pay 50 bucks a month for 10/1, and that is as good as the speeds get without going into the 100's or more. I'm in a pretty high tech city, where the hell are you guys finding these isp's???

Japan, Korea, and Scandanavian countries are known for their cheap fiber connections, with speeds up to Gbit.

The U.S. is very far behind in terms of internet speed. :dry:

[leeter]

The ironic thing is the US is one of the leading countries that have developed fiber optics for a very long time.
I wonder why they didn't widely commercialize it yet.

Maybe because the U.S. is BIG and they have very few companies that offer fiber optic connections. :ermm:

[mikechrobot]

because the US is stupid and controlled by the MPAA and RIAA who don't allow fiber because it would spread filesharing even further, in sweden ur more likely to get killed by an atomic bomb than to get caught by copyright protection agencies, that's why everybody does it.
In my area there is no fiber (Budapest, Hungary)

[SweP]

I've got 100 mbit/100 mbit and i pay ~$7 a month for it (Sweden) :)

And because of ffing big ass monopoly companies and trusts which STILL happen today, after the days of Rooselvelt and Taft.
Verizon is pretty much the only ones doing Fiber Optics, and it's only available in specialized areas where there aren't big ass gay companies like Time Warner, Comcast, etc. :frusty:

My neighborhood and town is very rich and very high tech, surrounded by companies like IBM, Cisco, GSK, etc. We have fibers going underneath our floors, and even in the homes that were built after 1995. This BS crap from Time Warner/Roadrunner and lawmakers keep driving the competition away from parts of the US like my town. Verizon can't even step foot in my state, neither DSL, Fios, Fios cable, telephone, etc.

That's the real reason there isn't much fiber in the U.S, mostly because if the cable companies and telcos.

[nousername]

thx for this info

[leeter]

Those using 100/100 home connection are blessed people, I think. :)

[link2009]

I've got 100 mbit/100 mbit and i pay ~$7 a month for it (Sweden) :)

You MUST be joking. And if you're not...I'll just feel bad :cry:. I pay $51 a month for 6Mbps down and 800Kbits up...can we please trade? :yup:

[leeter]

Damn... It's an utter rip-off. :w00t:

[ulun64]

I don't have fiber optic at all :(

[haydeno]

about 20 miles from me(DAMN) verizon has 20\5 for $45 i think

[leeter]

about 20 miles from me(DAMN) verizon has 20\5 for $45 i think

That is also a rip-off. Fiber optics should provide 100/100 at the least.

Haha, no, I'm serious :)

Btw, just to make you feel even worse, I made a small calculation of how many times more expensive your connection is:

I pay $0.07 per mbit download a month; you pay $8.5!
I pay $0.07 per mbit upload a month; you pay $63.75!!!

So, if we see only to the download speed, my connection is 121.43 times cheaper.

And now, if we see to the upload speed, my connection is 910.71 times cheaper!


Oh man, am I glad to be me, or what? :D

What isp do you have? Telia Stadsnät? Bahnof? Bredband2? BBB?
and where in sweden do you live? i maybe also can get that..
i am waiting for comhem 100/100 :D

13$/mnth 100/100 Lithuania

P.S. But you just have 256kbps abroad :( But it isn't big problem, becouse on Lithuanian trackers you have all the scene relases and push 10mb/s without any problems :p If you want 4mbps abroad you must pay 30 $

[jonsonica]

a conection of the type Fttb 50Mb in country and 4 Mb outside the country costs 15 $

[DVito]

[RainRoofer]

I don't care if it's cold out there, I'm moving to Swe :D

[Tokeman]

seems to me theres good buisness opportunity for a kick ass ISP anywhere in the USA, since there are none now...
Only option for higher speeds is a t1-t3, a bit expensive for non buisness use ;\

[nofx210]

Besides FIOS. Speeds of 5/2 - 15/2 - 30/5.
Fios is my only hope and not available. so all the swede's can continue rub it in

[QstorM]

Man all I want is a 10/10, hell 10/5 will do. I'm with a pathetic 3mb.

350KBs/80KBs
