minus-squareAlecSadler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoRural Oregon. 1gbps up and down. $600/month. I never go below ~930mbps each way.
minus-squarekirua@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoIs it that much due to living in the rural area and you’re paying a loan off that build the infrastructure for you to have gigabit internet in the country??!
minus-squareAlecSadler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoYeah, sorta. Nobody would provide internet to where I live, so I finally convinced a company to trench fiber to my house for me. Unfortunately I’m paying $500/mo for like 96 months now so they can offset the cost. Worth it though. My alternative was 512kbps DSL that would have outages daily and I’m a remote software engineer. It just didn’t work.
