So, I've been paying 120$ for 25MB/s for almost 5 years now, with the constant promise that fibre was coming to my part of town (the most populated town in my area, Simcoe in Norfolk County) and at this point it's not sustainable. I work from home, I do 3D modelling and work in Unity and Blender, I cannot be spending 10 hours downloading a project from a colleague that would take them 5 mins or less to download on any modern internet connection.
25MB/s that operates at a 2MB/s rate due to infrastructure is abysmal, that was acceptable in 2004 and even then it was rubbish. I shouldn't need to take an entire day to download a work project that's only 100Gb, not to mention the latency in games is awful. Getting 76ms ping when most people are in the 10s-30s? Spending a whole day downloading a 200GB content patch?
Miss me with that shit, it isn't the dry DSL era anymore. Catch hands. I want a minimum of 500MB/s for it to even be considered viable.
And the loss retention agent that I got when I called to cancel my first time barely spoke English, his microphone kept disconnecting, and it sounded like a child was crying in the background and someone was banging pots together. Eventually his mic just cut out and he never returned and never called back. I had to call all over again to get another agent who spoke English and wasn't in the middle of a traffic jam or something on the line.
