Consumer ISP Pricing - Where are you, how fast is it, and what do you pay?

Yeah. It's a new home and we got lucky that we're in a mature neighbourhood but only the 3 newly built homes have FTTH. Everyone else has the choice of DSL or Rogers cable.
Bell also offers a 1Gb/175 connection but at $30 more per month. I am not even near saturating the current 300Mb so even though would love the bragging rights of having a Gb DL speed, I'm not going to bother just yet. Now if the speed was a synchronous Gb DL and UL I'd be all over that.

As someone without a home of their own (not even a long term rental to call home) it makes me sad that I have no means of getting nice connections anymore.

Well, you can console yourself with the fact that free wifi is going to be faster than what's available to a home in my area, maybe.

This doesn't make sense at all. They have the infrastructure in your neighborhood, yet they won't install it into existing homes?

It's a big cost. And really for that Coax can do just as well. And doesn't confuse people with new equipment.

I'm willing to accept that as long as the old customers can get the 300/175 for the same price as the new FTTH. If not, I'd be pitching a fit!

Are you going to pay to have a fiber buried from the node/pole to your house? This is why they don't get to have it.
Hell even POTS, if I wanted a new line ran from pole to house because reasons I had to pay for it.

Assuming a) my max speed is lower, and the cost higher b) the install cost isn't prohibitive
then Yes I would pay that.

West Ventura County, CA
Verizon FiOS
75/75
$40/month
Bundled with TV service so this is the cost as shown on the bill after $20 discounts. The discounts are good for 2 years. It was $45 for the first two years so it is a pretty good deal.Edit: I forgot to mention that I got my work to pay for it, so to me, it is free.
