Fiber is available here but my building hasn't been wired for it yet.
If they ever get that done I will likely move to fiber.
We're in a "new build" area, but in Phase 1. Phases 2+ all have fiber direct to the home, but us Phase 1'ers don't. *shrugs*
If they were to ever go through the trouble, that would be awesome. But to
be honest, coax gigabit is just fine. I suppose having symmetrical gigabit would be pretty cool though...
I get 60 down and 6 or 10 up for $60. I was paying $90+ with telus
for 50 down and 6 up with a dsl service, so I lowered my cost and
upped my speed. :)
That's a nice bonus, paying less for more is always a nice surprise.
One number I look at is the upload speed since that is important
on the BBS.
30 seems to be the max for any upload speed w/ Rogers in my area. It's weird that I consider 30 to be "slow" but a wired speed test gets me 980 down and
32 up w/ my current package.
If I check Bell Canada's service two blocks over they have fiber direct to
the home with gigabit down & 750Mb up for $119 /mo or 1.5Gb down & 940Mb up for $129 /mo. Not that I'd care to deal w/ Bell...
