I have "business coax" internet for my little office. 100 Mb/s down, 15 Mb/s up, basic WiFi access point and LTE backup included. $315/mo. Only one outage in 3+ years (something took out power for the whole area, I can't work without power anyway). I don't need more speed, and can simply go work at home if need be.

Still, that seems kind of pricey (naturally, its gone up +200% in 3 years) so I listened to the "fiber" sales pitch.

Here it is. 100 Mb/s down, 100 Mb/s up, 99% uptime SLA, I provide the WiFi hardware, LTE backup extra cost, will be $600+/mo with the LTE, will take a "few months" to schedule techs to pull fiber from the building box to my suite.

Well, that sounds highly dis-interesting.

Internet in the US kind of sucks.

My daughter in France is getting 1 Gb/s fiber to her apartment for 30 euros a month (SFr).
