I thought google fiber was supposed to be 1000mb/s There's apparently a free plan.

I thought google fiber was supposed to be 1000mb/s Only if you want to pay around $70 per month for it.

Thanks for responses.
I have tinkered around with a few things but can't figure it out. I can test speeds on my phone and hardwired PC back to back and get 30mbs on PC and 50 on phone consistently.
Oh well, I don't use this desktop very frequently and am probably going to ditch it soon.

Wow, all these multi-Mbps numbers. I'm excited that *one* of my numbers finally reads over 1 on a good day. Only $156 last month (I had to pull a few different Linux kernel trees down late in the billing period so went over 10GB). Such a deal.

That's cheap for that kind of speed. Yeah, I'd go to Google Fiber's gigabit service in a heartbeat if it came here. I'm paying over $100 for up to 100 Mbps down/5 Mbps up, which apparently they've improved recently: Speedtest has never actually shown it at 100. I think I got into the 90s before, but that was in the middle of the night. This is a pretty good result for a Friday evening. Still, I can't believe they're still capping upload speed at 5 Mbps.

I live in the Yukon so believe me what I get I am more than happy with. Northwestel is our provider and the put fiber in a few years ago from down south but the house connection is still cable.

John, are you on satellite? No such luck -- I would have to cut down so many trees to get line of sight to the satellite that anyone familiar with the Tunguska event would feel right at home. I have not yet been able to get zoning approval for an antenna tower despite it being lower than the surrounding trees, so might have to put up a windmill and tack a satellite dish on the windmill tower when nobody is looking. Our provincial government LOVES windmills despite the fact the wind never seems to be blowing when we need lots of power, although everyone else seems to hate them and I might have to paint "NOT A REAL WINDMILL" on the blades to avoid having my house egged. In the meantime I have a cellular modem/router combo which relies on the area's one lonely cell tower. It's sort of like a modern version of dial-up but with long-distance charges to get to the ISP's modem pool.
