I don't mean to make you feel bad but in my area in the USA I get 10Gbps symmetric for $40/month, through an ISP that has awesome support, provides a /56 IPv6 range to each customer, lets you use your own router, and is publicly pro net neutrality.
Which isp is this? We nameshame, let's honorname too.
Sonic
There's practically an unwritten rule among tech-savvy people in the San Francisco Bay Area (and some surrounding cities): If Sonic is available in your area, you must use them. Non tech-savvy people like them too, since their pricing is great and their support is actually useful. Nearly my entire street uses them, at least the people that don't still use cable TV.
Seriously, I'm in Utah so this isn't a thing out there, but thank you, I'm going to share this, and maybe, hopefully, we will become Sonic's competition some day <3 this ISP looks like the whole entire package and what I dream the ISP I am currently with becomes one day.
We offer everything Sonic does, Internet up to 10Gbps symmetrical ($200/mo which is competitive in it market), VoIP, TV, WiFi router rentals, but it's different than how Sonic is doing it. I wrote out a bunch of stuff, but afterwards I decided I may have started to reveal too much and it may become too easy to understand who I work for and my position... Long story short, you're a lucky bunch out there, Sonic seems fantastic and thank you for sharing this with me/the community.
Honestly, one of the criteria when I was looking for a house was whether Sonic was available in the area. Really glad to have escaped Xfinity (I didn't have a choice at my previous place)
In case you didn't already see it, take a look at their transparency page :) https://www.sonic.com/transparency
