That's amazing in the Netherlands. Great speed you have though. :good:peanutbutter said:I'm lucky to have fiber though, most of the countryside is still stuck with adsl, barely hitting 10mbit...

That IS interesting! Wonder how they arrived at that statistic. At least shows a country that is budget conscious and fair in how it is being distributed, instead of charging through the roof such as where I live, regardless of what the effect is.peanutbutter said:So what they do here is, send a message to a whole town: If 50% of the whole town signs up for fiber for 2 years, we'll connect the entire town!

- at home - 100Mbps on fiber for 28 RON (aka. 6 Euro)
- at work - 1Gbps for 45 RON (aka. 10 Euro)

Worst part for me is when the ISP on top of everything else keeps spamming my service with advertising. I've spent hours trying to get rid of them, may succeed for a day or two, and then they're back with a different IP. The day I don't need an ISP any longer will be a happy day for me.v.p.s said:ISPs are a rip off. The cost of the service to access the Internet is nowhere near what ISP charging. Having recovered their infrastructure outlay the ISPs have kept the charges and continue to increase them without any reason. Scam the customer.
