Back when I lived in Ukraine in 2021, I got our family a 1Gbps fiber connection.

We lived on the edge of the city, and it was insanely hard to find a provider.

I knew internet was super cheap in Ukraine and was going to leave Ukraine in the following years, so getting a 1Gbps fiber as an all-time-at-home person was a great idea.

I ended up finding 2 providers that had fiber, and 1 of them had 1Gbps.

I was super happy to have symmetrical 1Gbps for $15 a month for the time I could spend there.

Here, in Vancouver, I am happy to have 250Mbps/15Mbps for $40 per month.



$15 for 1gpbs is insane. That was costing me $120+ over on Vancouver Island. If you want a good deal wait for BF / CM / Boxing Week. I upgraded to 3gbps fibre for $75/mo from Telus over boxing week. Almost as good a deal as your Internet in Ukraine.
