I’m in Spain and get 10Gbit symmetric which comes down to about 7000mbps up and down on speedtests to my airbnb (in a small town 30min away from a touristic hotspot) for 30 euro’s. My home in Barcelona gets 1gbit symmetric for 25 euro.
Competition here has gotten pretty good with lots of virtual carrier being allowed by law to use telefonicas ftth which has driven prices down.
I’m the opposite to you where I’m always surprised when I hear people in fairly big towns/cities in US/UK etc are still on less then 100mbit symmetric!
I'm in the UK (Oxfordshire) and have a 1gb symmetrical connection at home. It's provided by Gigaclear - there's a handful of other similar operators that do fibre in more "rural" areas. It costs £79 a month, so it's not cheap to be honest, but I love it.
Ring em up and tell them you’re leaving, they’ll drop you down to the new customer pricing. I’ve got the 1G up and down for something like £38 a month now?
Should hopefully change in the next few years, about 54% of houses have fibre to the property and the plan is over the next five years to expand that to nearly 100%. I have had 100/1000 for a while now but symmetric is still a rare product that only smaller competing fibre companies are rolling out.
I had 1g symmetric in the bay area (thanks at&t) and it was nice, but am now around your speeds (85m/13m) and it's clearly worse, but not really terrible. Certainly not terrible enough to pay $50k+ install to get munifiber, even though I'd enjoy it a lot. Maybe if one of the ISPs on munifiber starts offering 10g to residences. Not that I need it, but it'd be fun.
