    I'm paying $79 for 50mbps since I dropped cable and no longer have a "bundle" deal. I asked what the next tier down was and it's only 15mbps for 10 bucks less.
    Looking into other options right now but it's tough to find anything that doesn't lock me into a contract. If I sell the house in spring I'd be stuck paying the penalty.

    Thanks for the information.

    I'm paying somewhere around $79 / $89 pm for the slow speeds I get. 100 mbps is available but cost is way too high for my needs.

    Australia started a "National Broadband Network" (NBN) project a few years ago where the government promised fibre to the premises for everyone. After an election, the next government changed it to fibre to the node. (a node box that served an area with copper from there to premises). W now have a mix with some users with direct fibre access and other still with a few hundred metres of copper. This has also affected real estate pricing.

    The original NBN plan was about $45 billion and was considered too expensive.

    What we have for a developed nation is woefully behind many other countries. Our vast size and relatively small population doesn't help.

    Sounds similar to my situation Monk, although I'm getting better speeds. Mine is bundled with a landline phone for further 'reductions'

    One thing I will say about the provider and knock on wood...since switching in the summer of 2015, I have yet to experience any sort of slow down or no service times.
    The old provider would go out for a few hours or a night at times.

    Yes, because that's what's important, the upload speed when I'm streaming movies at home.
