Your prices and speeds are far from what I hear being typical for Canada, but I'm paying 35 euros a month for 500 mbps symmetrical. Gigabit on the website is 73 euros. But that's because I'm in an apartment built when the local monopoly was putting in fiber. Older buildings that were retrofitted later, as well as buildings that were built later, tend to have more providers available. There's one that gives you 1 gig for 35 euros for the first year - and I know they'll be amenable to keeping that arrangement later because you can just threaten to switch and they'll cave. A third is giving out gigabit at 45 Euros for indefinite periods.

Do keep in mind, Estonia is plagued by a Telia monopoly. Other EU countries tend to have cheaper prices. Romania has so much competition, gigabit up/down is like 8 euros and I don't think they offer speeds under 300 mbps apparently.

So a bit cheaper but speeds sound more or less on par. Do you have to deal with ports being blocked?

A friend got a killer deal on 3gbit/3gbit for 65. I do wonder what his after costs will be like. It was new customer BS.

Buddy of mine was in Romania, he had a killer deal on his internet. Not 8 euro killer but I think it was like 20, But we couldn't play alot of games together the lag was just to bad :(

I suppose Internet speeds in Canada have really improved then. A decade ago people on reddit calculated that you'd be better off buying an external hard drive and driving to the US if you wanted to download large files in much of Canada. And the US isn't exactly known for being great for broadband availability either

What is with the entire anglosphere being so much worse for internet?
