Meanwhile, I'm stuck with a cable connection. I really can't blame my provider, from all ISPs in Brazil, they're the only one using DOCSIS (which on our case is way more reliable than the ADSL lines which are super old and poorly maintained here), the price is very reasonable in comparison to the contracted speed, I hit them (35 Mb down, > 40 ms ping) I think 99% of the time and I've never had any problem with them (7 years of services until now and counting)... but the upload is awfully slow (only 2 Mb) and I'm paying the same price that a competing ISP charges for a way faster (100 Mb down/50 Mb up) fiber connection
buuuuuuuuut From the entire country, that ISP services are only available in two cities /cry

@ExtremeDude2 Yea, this ISP is fiber to the node, not fiber to the home. That was disappointing, especially since there is a fiber line coming into this apartment! The other ISP available here is fiber to the home and it is symmetrical and gigabit, so we're going to try them and compare.

I, too, have an asymmetric connection. It's less asymmetric than the last time I checked, though, as it used to be 70 down, 1 up.

@Maylmilae: I'm guessing your moved somewhere near San Jose, right? I was actually born there.
Meanwhile in Chicago... Thanks Comcast. Thanks (non-existent) ISP competition. 04-22-2018, 02:08 PM

Poor Americans... > Faster than 51% of US How do YouTube and Netflix even exist in that kind of hostile environment?

@AnyOldName3 - We buffer all of our videos. They're always buffering.
In reality, ISPs over here are typically hostile to customers and other businesses. In America, this is called the "free market" or something like that. Spoiler: 04-23-2018, 02:42 PM
