Would love to see average cost per megabit as well.

Why is Romania hogging all the speed compared to their neighbours?

[-] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Average is not that helpful, ADSL tops out at about 24Mbps, FTTC 80Mbps, and FTTP 2.5Gbps. however you can get the higher speed products in slower speeds, so a percentage of population per higher possible teir would be better to look at. My parents went with 200mbps cable, even though 1gbps was available, based on cost and need

Feel free to share if you have a better map or table

Best I can do is UK data https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/constituency-data-broadband-coverage-and-speeds/

Most interesting is the second one, select national overview the slower connections. Unless you want a deep dive in to local constituency speeds

To add to this, high speed plans can skew the results. A few years ago, the maximum available speed in my area was around 16Mbps over ADSL. It's an old area that had old copper lines to most buildings. Lots of places were still on around 3Mbps. Fibre rollout had recently started, so pockets had gigabit speeds. Because they were in the same postcode area, all the speed checker sites started saying that the average for the area was 75Mbps.

Sitting here in rural mountain Canada with 980Mbps 🥴

I definitely am. It's crazy that after moving from Toronto and formerly in Vancouver and Montreal that I have better access to faster Internet that's even cheaper than the metros is out here in the boonies.

I'm in a Canadian metropolis and feel lucky for my 60mbps

[-] hefty4871@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

And this is why I'm in a Canadian metropolis and feel guilty for my 2Gbps

[-] anguo@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

I mean I could upgrade to something like 400Mbps for twice what I'm paying now, but I see no reason to. The one thing that bugs me are the ridiculously low upload speeds in most internet plans.

[-] Damionsipher@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I'm not even top tier Internet or here - 4 hours from any city...

Is this community a move of !yurop@lemm.ee to piefed?

[-] Blaze@piefed.social 5 points 4 days ago

Yes, that's the idea. I was feeling like people were missing the "casual" part of !yurop@lemm.ee, and were posting political content, which wasn't really in the scope.

Also thought it would be nice to give the new Piefed features a try.

[-] FundMECFSResearch 3 points 4 days ago

cool! I’ll stay subbed to both, see what happens.

[-] Sunshine@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

Well... looks like you will only have one now.

[-] desktop_user 2 points 5 days ago

would love to see percent with data caps as well

[-] ElectroLisa 13 points 5 days ago

Not a thing on land lines in Europe

[-] desktop_user 0 points 5 days ago

not even Russia or Ukraine?

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago

We only have caps on mobile data around here, Ethernet connections are generally unlimited

[-] brb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

What countries still have cap on mobile data?

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

I guess it's not a hard cap, you just pay extra when you go over, depending on your plan and mobile data provider.
