FiOS Gigabit Connection (Up to 940/880 Mbps
That is not even gigabit
My ISP advertises our 940/150 as Gigabit so I have to admit, I'm very jealous of the 880 Mbps up speeds. Lol

In ATL, 25/5 costs about $70/month. Superfail.

150/15 $85CDN/mth =~ $62USD/mth
I think it's still too expensive.
Telus offers 150/150 fiber but it's not widely available (about the same price)
-
One client office has a 50/50 fiber with a static IP for $80/month.
Another has a 100/5 fiber for $1000/month.
A third has a 100/100 fiber for $900/month. -

This is why I left Verizon originally. Service was good but they actively punished you for being a loyal customer. They actually called it a "loyalty fee" or something on the phones. I refused to pay it and left their service (now I can get it cheaper because I left them... they are literally willing to give me a better deal because I wasn't loyal!) Looks like the same here. If they think you are too lazy to leave them, they will treat you more and more badly until you change your mind.
I see this with Verizon, but I have a decent relationship with my local shop. When they show adds on TV, we just call them and ask if we can have it too, and so far they just switch us over to the new plan. So far this has just been for the "Now get XGB of data and month for only $Y." It sucks we have to call, but they are nice about it and they are by far the best quality of service for my local area.

He is in Ukraine at the moment.
It is not $6 or $20, but my in-laws have this same high speed lower cost in Japan as well.
The US is such a backwards piece of shit.

Moldova is similar. Don't have exact pricing but it is insanely cheap and fast. Romania is faster, but not quite as cheap.

Looking like a year. The SAM-SD stuff is going to keep us insanely busy there.
