I think the google fiber network in Kansas City will be the tipping point. Lafayette, La is too small to cause the kind of backlash needed to overthrow the ISP system, but a huge metro like Kansas City and the power of google should start to sway politicians and local governments into action. This is a really good thing. There is no fucking reason why everyone cant have the kind of city-wide speeds that my area enjoys, and especially not at the prices some of you are paying for that. Its bullshit and the ISP's know it.

College internet:
Bandwidth cap: 25GB/day (the only reason there's a cap is so people don't accidentally generate a crapton of traffic e.g. from a virus; we can get the cap temporarily lifted if needed)
Price: not sure, as it's included in my college bill. I think they're planning to change it to ~£20/term (£10/month).
The intra-university network is lightning-fast (maxes out my 100Mbps ethernet connection) and has practically unlimited bandwidth (and doesn't count towards my cap). They laid tons of fibre-optic cable around the university - then someone invented multiplexing, making most of it unnecessary.

LOL ik dacht dat Zeelandnet juist wel ok was?
Practically the whole continent has a faster internet speed than me
@cajunator so so so so true, awesome speeds and you have a GREAT city I can already see that
USA needs more competition than a survivalist needs water in the dessert.
dear lord that is a godly ping.

Mijn abonnement kost ook 20 per maand maar is zwaar pauper vergeleken met die van jouw. Niet zo ok dus.

Was Down & Uploading through LAN with 6-8 MB/s while the test was running.
Love my University-Campus Net.
EDIT:
Only a slight difference with DC++ , closed.
Oh of course. It's included in the rent I pay for my 19 square-meter shithole. 220€. Limited at 700MB per day, if you go overboard you can't log in the next day at 7:00am. But it's 700MB per account and I got 3. Furthermore I can work around that per university proxy.

Yeah but £10 is not that bad for that speed.
I live literally in the middle of nowhere. Pinon, AZ. This is the only internet service you can get outside of satellite services that have very small thresholds.
$50 a mo. Makes me wanna cry.
Everyone, feel better about yourself.
F-
I didn't even know F- existed. I thought F was the lowest.
What are the disadvantages of satellite internet? Strict caps or something?

South Korea and Japan are one and the same I guess?
Not ALL of us
But yeah I kind of wonder how many other US households have 90 MB/s internet. I know I'm not the only one on this forum from the US with that kind of speed.
I pay for 10mb down lol
Same as mine, has a tendency to fluctuate wildly though which is really annoying.
