That's fiber???
sadly .... best speed they offer is 100Mb/s but those plains you need to pay about 100 or more per month and in some cases very limited data limits
It used to be a similar story over the ditch here but I think we've actually done very well since our fibre rollout began. It opened up the playing field for a huge number of smaller ISPs who offer arguably more niche but impressive services, which I think has made us expect better of our traditional bigger ISPs. We started with base plans of 30/10, 50/20 and 100/50, but we've since had 200/20, 200/200 and 1000/20 plans released by various lines companies. The bigger ISPs only offer plans that are provided throughout the country by all lines companies, like the base ones I mentioned, whereas local ISPs are able to offer plans specific to certain lines companies (e.g. 1000/20). The plans will improve as time goes on and infrastructure allows, but from what I've heard they have a decent amount of capacity already. It's exciting. Now we just need a better connection to the rest of the world...
