It really depends on location. In major cities in Canada (such as where LTT resides) top end is usually between 750 and 1000 now. On top of that the ISPs are all laying new fiber and are starting to roll out 1-3gbps at a price point similar to what 50mbps cost even a couple years ago.

slowest pack my isp gives is 100, the fastest is 1000

@@ryancooper3629 big city folk don’t realize how good they have it lol.

you tell me. where I live, there's only one ISP (technically two, but the 2nd one is only leasing the infrastructure that's already in place), and only recently did my ISP upgrade my internet from 10/0.8Mbps to 35/5Mbps. and I consider myself lucky, because a friend of mine, who lives only a few hundreds of meters away from me still has to suffer 1-4Mbps download speeds. the only other option is switching to LTE provided by your phone carrier

The part about one ISP is a ridiculously poor assumption at best.

It really is a total crapshoot nowadays. When I'm searching for an apartment, the availability is the first thing I'll look up. It doesn't matter how cheap or nice a place is. If the only ISP available is Comcast or shitty DSL then I won't even waste the realtor's time looking at it. It blows me away that DSL is still a thing this late in the game. The prices they charge for that stuff is criminal. For a max speed of 3mbps they want me to pay $80 a month? Utterly ludicrous. The place I'm in right now has 1gig fiber for $50/mo. I'm afraid of moving. I may end up trapped here forever.

@@0bsmith0 ohh no from what i've heard a lot of major isp's in the us have marked their territories in an agreement where the other isps don't set up their networks in each others areas and this creates a monopoly in those areas where the isps just charge whatever the fuck they want

UK will give all access to Gigabit speeds by 2025. I live on a remote island in Norway and will get fast fiber this year. In the US most politicians works for the lobby and their bribes. GOP does not want you to have nice things, like social welfare, universal health care or great internet coverage.

@@DeeezNuts A latency of 0 would be impossible unless you were directly connected to the datacenter. The speed test tool you're using may be lying to you.

@@TheRogueWolf Or it is rounding it up, if it is really low.

That was the only good thing my internet had for a long time, a speed of 7 Mbits but a ping of 13. With the new connection, it's now on 7, but I think less is not really needed since I am not operating a bank from home.

THIS. so much. you can have a 10Gbps fat pipe, but if the latency is shit, so is your gaming.

I don't get why companies aren't simply honest with potential rural customers. Visit their town and present them with a construction plan to hook up the town to fibre, show them the cost of it and how it breaks down for each individual potential customer. "This is how much it will cost in total, this is how much it will cost each customer if we get x amount of customers" and give the town a chance to decide for themselves if they want to foot the bill for it. I would gladly pay a higher fee for internet for a couple of years to pay for infrastructure if it meant the town is going to get hooked up to high speed internet for the next century.

@@NeonGen2000 The cost of a standard data cabinet is about $50K USD and that is just running fiber to the node with the intent of using existing copper. If you look at the area of many small towns and their outer periphery, you can quickly see that they would have to place roughly 1 new device per 3-5 houses on average. This is slightly alleviated by using small devices with fewer ports but then you have to actually pump signal to the homes some of which are near the limit of what copper can do (there are more issues with this still, such as adjusting proper power back off for good SNR, but that also affects end user speeds). But why not just use fiber? There are a few reasons: 1. Cost. Fiber is normally trenched along roadsides and we all know how much of a headache this is for all parties involved. This can be short cutted by running through a field and offering Farmer John an easement, but farmers forget where the cables are run and cut them regularly. Same with construction crews. Aerial fiber can help with this but it is very susceptible to wind and tree damage. 2. Lack of resources. Many rural localities lack the human capital for each telecom to maintain the infrastructure. Most of my experience with rural telecom local ops is dealing with the same folks that have been working there for 30+ years. And as folks have retired, backfills aren't offered. Less people = less ability to maintain infrastructure. Fiber is also different from copper in regards to how it needs to be deployed and not all local ops have the knowledge base for this. Especially when it comes to repair and splicing. That is a highly specialized skill. 3. Ultimately there are no justifiable reasons (monetarily and business wise) for private telecoms to run fiber/gig speeds to rural areas where they won't ever see a return. This is why the push for internet to be reclassified as a public utility is so strong. So long as telecoms have to report to their investors, rural data infrastructure will always suffer. I hope this helps.

@@TheBardOfTheRedHand It helps a lot, thank you. I have some counterarguments for your consideration. 1) The towns' businesses may benefit from high speed internet connection, businesses tend to have more capital to work with. 2) The only thing keeping me (a person who makes his income online) in a city is because of the internet connection. If towns had better internet, I could live and work there. There are many more people like me. It could help de-urbanization.

Red Hand, very good comment. You clearly understand the technology that has been at the inuse for the last 20 years but reserved in the Core or Longhaul portions of the network. That is wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM).

@NeonGen2000 I agree with what you are saying. Hopefully the WFH revolution will push ISPs to look at some of their neglected areas, but as a former ISP employee (worked in the access network, then the IP Core before leaving) I'm not confident that they have the business sense to look past the next half-quarter.

I'm honestly lucky to be in Luzon since most of the underwater cables go to here tho (plus most of our servers are here, aside from lower latency when connecting to say Taiwan or Japan compared to other islands).

@@RyuFitzgerald I don't know how to tell you this but monopolizing a service and resting on what you have to avoid increasing costs is in fact real capitalism, and it happens a lot without government intervention regulating the monopoly out of existence... It's even easier when it comes to internet service though because the infrastructure costs are massive and breaking into a new market when you can't ensure a return is a very risky bet, made even worse by the fact there is, contrary to popular belief, limited space to run lines in the air and underground costs more. You can hope your local government decides to invest in the creation or installation of an ISP to fill a gap, but that's only going to happen somewhere where that gap exists and there's not enough financial viability for the ISP to invest or already have invested in the infrastructure on their own. OR you can hope the local phone provider has the capital and financial interest to remove their existing infrastructure and replace it with fiber, a less costly endeavor if the pole costs are already paid, you already have some customer base in the area, and you already have employees to cover the area.

The faster you go, the faster you hit your data cap. That's how they get you.

Not having a go at you here, but I'd like to point out that (in the context of other comments on this video) it kinda sounds like you're bragging outright. Because everyone wants gigabit, and nowhere offers it, and the rest of the world is stuck with 50 mbps max.

@@floop1108 Eh, I don't know, I'll make the case that a lot of people have: Gigabit is great, but also rarely a current need. I went from 300mb to gigabit, and barring my speed often being slower than advertised, at its peak it's still not that incredible. Few servers can match anywhere near that high, and it's a rare household that will have enough users doing heavy transfers at once to make it really worth the while. The real case as I see it is to not just make it available, but make it standard. If 1g was the low bar I think we would see the innovation that might utilize speeds that high in a functionally different way.

Instead of laying on single fiber to the neighborhood and then splitting it with PON splitters. I want to smoke some of that what the PON marketers get to be able to sell the ISPs such a big s*hit. Oh and btw. that 25 Gb/s service is only like 67 CHF/month... as is every service of that ISP. Because they already need to have the hardware for the bigger bandwidth so it makes no sense to charge different amounts to different speeds. You just get whatever the copper / fiber is capable of.

That’s why business opt for a leased line which bypasses the cabinets and therefor are uncontested making for much higher reliability.

I get 30mbps upload and 40-50mbps download with tmobile wireless internet, WAY better than the cable offering (25, 3)! Cable upload speeds are so damn ridiculously low, cellular internet has always had a much better uploading experience for me (when the signal is good.)

Of course it is intentional. The same _digital_ pipe is the channel for both upload and download. So the ISPs theorise that since most people are engaged in downloading content than uploading, they dedicate 70-80% of the pipe to download stream and rest for upload.

The other thing to consider is our phones are sending out a much weaker signal comparatively than the cell towers. At least when it comes to cell phones that is one area where I wouldn't be to surprised if upload speeds stay slow, though what Saatvik says also is likely happening.

You can only reduce latency so much by upgrading the back-end, and sometimes it's just not worth the cost for an ISP to optimize the backend for a remote town.

At&t hasn't improved in over a decade.. can't get better than 3mb/s from them here...

Do you actually need 5 tho?

@@Skagzi1la Yeah I have no idea what prompted them in the last like 3 years to start caring, but here we are

@@BLX187 I do not, but I want it and can pay for it

What's the upload speed

Here in France we have it for 40€ ;)

guys, I think we found where all the gig went. damn switzerlanders stole all our gigs!

In India we pay 10$ for a 300mbps plan

I got 1g internet for 80$ :/

worf

Init7 ftw

Beat me to it. Isn't it DTP not HDBT tho.

quality of techquickie has always been low

@@marcogenovesi8570 I don't think it makes it low quality. For 98% of the TQ audience it doesn't detract from the message of the video at all...

They need to make a sort of buddy-cop detective movie with Riley and Anthony. Tech Cop Detectives.

@Dern the Hermit that’s a great idea, and with two of my favorite hosts! Might also want to throw in a few scenes with James here and there lol.

@@TH3C001 James would def be the villain XD At least until the final twist when we discover Linus was real bad guy the whole time!

god 10Gb upload sounds incredible right now. I get 15Mb/s right now and it is not holding up to when I stream.

@@DigitalJedi In romania, 10 Gbps is 10 euros/month :)

Australia government research invented key components of the technology behind fibre optics, wifi, and mobile broadband... so our government responds by deciding we need none of that and keeps using the 50 year old oxidised copper wire in the ground.

@@boxhead6177 Lol. From my Australian friends tho apparently they have the most expensive and slow internet.

Why would we actually need 32K though?

@@adamsmith1813 For a timelapse of a night sky full of stars?

*yet

I guess I’m a turbo nerd then

F bro where do u live?

Try 512 Kbit

Try mixed 2 mbit that is hardly enough to watch KZfaq at 720p and worst than that subscription is expensive plus very low wages I can only afford 20 gb for the whole month and always watch KZfaq at 360p

I have a 1.5TB data cap and thought that was low but 500gb is insane

LTT Labs should review ISPs and call out their speed claims as categorical lies.

Thats more of a infrastructure than a knee-cap. If your ISP also is a cable provider they have to reserve bandwidth for those digital channels as well as provide upload. Upload generally sits in the lower portion of the spectrum while download sits in the upper portion with the middle being used by video content. The lower the frequency the more stable it is but it also takes more room in the bandwidth to process the same speed. Most DOCSIS 3.1 operators rely on about 2-4 upload frequencies but use 8-16 download just due to how infrastructure is setup.

I get about 20mbps upload for 350mbps download in brazil. It's considered high end download speeds for here, but some companies have higher uploads (some of them get similar download and upload speeds)

Meanwhile, I get 30 Down and 5 Up. And I'm supposed to be happy here.

hue hue hue they are coming for our MMOs

same with my country in my area. for 10 years we were just stuck with copper internet at max 1mbps while the more urban places get fiber or just better speed in general. Then a competing ISP finally managed to make the ISP im using scared and push for really aggresive expansion. I finally got to enjoy fiber speed and the jump from 1mbps to 100 was crazy. I don't even know why I even need 1Gbit

That’s good

Hey I have the same plan (just because fiber isn’t available yet in my area) and honestly most peeps, 50 down is plenty. I really just want fiber for the Decreased ping times

the capability to QoS such speeds also requires bigger and bigger cpus, which is probably why prices are what they are for networking gear besides sales volume.

Nice to see that I am not the only one that caught that. I love Extron’s AV switching and distribution devices too.

@@CompGuy66 - Likewise. Good solid reliability. Its rare to find someone else who appreciates them.

That's the thing with higher speeds, there's a point where most people just don't need them. Game stores and video streaming services won't even saturate the average internet connection these days to the point where even my crappy 150mbps router in my shed doesn't even get saturated even when I tried to, let alone my actual internet connection itself.

Investing in crypto is very cool, especially with the current rise in the market.

I really don't know why people still remain poor out of ignorance.

It is not all about ignorance, there are lots of unprofessional brokers in the market.

I will introduce you to my trader Mr Lennart Antero, his methods works like magic and is working for me at the moment.

I'm so surprised knowing that a lot of people knows about him, he helped me recover all that I lost....

Lol wtf

The american dream

20Mbit is top tier in the US too, this video was written by someone on crack

In America. Also Switzerland has 25 GIGAbit

In Italy you have 20Mbit at the same price of 1Gbit

@@edoardomacri3049 probably because the 1Gbit actually runs at 20MBit too, true story

@@marcogenovesi8570 Since i got FTTH i have never got less than 600mbps. I the contract I should have at least 500mbps

They don't need to speed up to make money, they just need to get some idiots elected.

sad, live in tennessee, and att only goes up to 100mb/s here, so im stuck with comcast gig speed non fiber, which is over 110 bucks for 1200mbps download 35mbps upload, with no option to upgrade the upload speed

Uhm, the ping amounts you listed, especialy the 1ms, are/were completely irrelevant numbers with no relation to actuall pings. Those might be the ping to the fastest available server for a pingtest (and even then 1ms in 201e is highly, highly dubious), but anything you would do that is actually highly ping sensitive (so some gaming, some scientific work and such) connects you to server usualy much further away, or even to other people's home pc's. Pings were always significantly higher than that, especialy knce you got connected to something past your direct internet node if you live in/near a big city. Rule of thumb there is 10+ms minimum for anything more than a hundred kilometres away or privately owned on the other end. That aiside, totaly agree that a steady connection is more important than speeds.

i have 20mbps and it costs 30€/month

It feels like internet speed has became stagnant. Most consumer routers are still stuck at 1 Gbps for some reason and anything above 1 Gbps requires 2 Lan cables from my provider

Also want to know
