Maybe where you live? I have gigabit fibre and they sent me an email a few weeks ago that they're launching 2.5 gigabit, which would actually require me to rewire some of my home ethernet with newer cables. Haven't switched yet ... not sure how greedy I want to be lol

how much is the 2.5 gigabit supposed to cost, i bet upload is still < 50mbps because canadian telecom

Upload is also 2.5 gigabit, the price is outrageous at $175. I'm currently on $89 for symmetrical gigabit (telus purefibre). The speed is exactly as advertised too. Super expensive compared to elsewhere in the world, but nice to have quality internet.

Probably coax with DOCSIS, I feel your pain. I had that for years. The good news is the newest update with DOCSIS allows symmetrical uploads so even if fibre never arrives your current wiring will allow a good upload speed eventually

That’s cool, but who needs 2.5 gb/s at private household?

This. Gigabit Internet is cool but realistically I've never needed to go beyond ~50Mbps. If I'm downloading something large (GTA V, CoD lol, etc.) I just let it sit overnight. Anything else I need happens within minutes.

Fine maybe if you live by yourself. 50 isn't even close to sufficient for a whole family with multiple people streaming video or music.

2022-09-21 07:55

People were asking the same question about 50 mbit just 10 years ago.

We've never topped out the gigabit connection (except with steam downloads which I have limited on purpose) even with multiple people watching 4k. So 2.5 is a bit overkill even for the biggest families, hence the markup. It's for folks who want bleeding edge stuff. But I think in the next decade gigabit will become the new basic internet and 5 and 10 gigabit will become what gigabit is now.

What? ping is relative, if you are closer to the server you gonna have lower ping.

2022-09-21 06:44

Your own ISP network quality can also affect ping to some extent. For example, with one ISP your ping to the server might be 30ms, but by switching providers you end up with 26ms to the same server because of more efficient networking. A good ISP can only help a bit though. If the server is a long way away your ping is going to be shit either way.

I dont think that's a problem with fiber, cus i already had fiber from 3 different ISP's and the ping to the games i play didn't change. Like for instance someone living in Sao Paulo will always have a better ping than me in csgo/lol/dota or any other online game, that's due to the fact that most SA servers are located in SP, but that doesn't mean that my connection is worse than what ppl have in SP.

I think the difference is mostly with different technologies, for example fibre as compared with DSL or cable. You won't find much difference between providers of the same technology, particularly if the cables are run and managed by governments who lease the network to providers. In that case, they would all be using the same network. Here in Canada most networking is laid and operated separately by private businesses but I know in many parts of the world government leased networks are typical.
