nixCraft 🐧Poll: What kind of Internet Connection do you have at home? Please boost for reach. TIA.
ADSL/DSL/Cable
FTTH (Fiber)
Mobile [4G/5G (wifi hotspot)]
Satellite (e.g, Starlink/Viasat/HughesNet)
Poll ended at .
Ian Tindale@nixCraft None of those – it’s whatever BT gave me years ago after ADSL (which in turn was after Freeserve and a noise-making modem)

💉💉🚀💉@u0421793 outside… 🙃
Aaron Longchamps@nixCraft I’m using T-Mobile’s 5G home internet since it’s way cheaper than Comcast and the price is actually stable.
I also feel like hotspot is underselling it since I have a modem, the uplink is just wireless.

@nixCraft VDSL2
74M down, 24M up

Chaos Spindash@nixCraft Switched from 4G to coax almost a year ago and never looked back. 4G wasn't bad, but it had its issues - bufferbloat being the dealbreaker for me.
Now I get 300 Mbps with low latency almost every time. Steam is just breezing through these downloads, lemme tell ya.
And yes, I did consider fiber, but that's not really an option in my situation.
NEO//LIX 🔊@nixCraft G.fast (a DSL flavor), but only for a couple of meters into the basement where a fiber terminates (700/200). There's also an actual fiber in my apartment now (max 1000/200), but the provider sucks, so I'll probably won't switch. 😅 (Germany)

@nixCraft FTTH, 2.5G/0.7G for €16
If I wanted, I could upgrade for a 10G/2G
Purgator@nixCraft ADSL we are together, stay strong, good luck, we all know that the upload rate is our fight. Monitoring the internet is our daily habit.
Together, strong apes

Paul Quirk@nixCraft coax is all I need for my Commodore 64.
randomperson@nixCraft 1Gbps FTTH and I pay equivalent of 13-14€ per month for that (Poland)
RevK 
@nixCraft I did not know you could do multiple choice polls. Cool.
Ryan Walmsley@nixCraft Feels slightly wrong combining ADSL and Cable in the same poll. The difference in speed for me between those is 10-20x faster on cable than ADSL.

@nixCraft WiFi Antenna, like satelite but terrestial
cuan_knaggs@nixCraft here in cape town seems as though our internet connection industry is about the only service that's better that a lot of the rest of the world. i have an entry level fiber package and am seeing tests of 90 down and 87 up
paraic@nixCraft we have a fixed 5G connection - not physical but not mobile, not satellite
Josh Hearne@nixCraft cable, but they're building out fiber in the towns I used to live in and just moved to. Sooner or later!

ethan@nixCraft My parents, in not-that-rural USA (less than 60 miles from Denver, CO), can only access satellite internet. Despite universal access fees paid by all customers in the USA, local telcos haven't done upgrades on the system for decades and aren't held to account by the FCC or state authorities.
frigi@nixCraft 10G / 10G (is the minimum speed my ISP provide on FTTH)

mehdi@nixCraft I use radio wireless connection
I have a Mikrotik LHG XL ac

BlueDotAZ@nixCraft Mine is not on there, Fixed Wireless. Not satellite. Works decent, low latency, available in rural areas. My bandwidth is 100 down, 50 up and rock solid.
Adam Trickett 
@nixCraft Most of the town has 1 Gig FTTH, but our street is stuck on ADSL2, not even VDSL with a fiber backhaul.
Jaakko Nissi@nixCraft 500/500 fibre for 35€ a month. 
Dreit@nixCraft WiFi, here in Czech Republic it's very popular. Even small villages usually have at least one ISP which will connect you via 802.11a (usually NanoStation) to the Internet.
It's legacy from old times when DSL was so overpriced that nobody could really reach it. So small ISPs bought fast DSL connection and shared it to half of city. And we homehow keep it working and popular to this day. Mobile data is overpriced same as DSL was 20 years ago.

iDüti@nixCraft will switch to fiber in two to three months
Mr. Bruno 
@nixCraft I think I'm lucky that Ting decided to offer fiber service. It took a while for them to get to my neighborhood but I was thrilled to ditch Spectrum. The most amazing thing is the semi-authomatic digger machine that laid the cable from the curb to my house. Minutes after it was complete, I couldn't tell where it had dug!! I use it for my computers (WFH 4 days a week), pads, phone, TV streaming with a couple of Rokus, an Alexa Echo Dot.
meriksson@nixCraft Connected at 2400 baud by heart.
smartwatermelon 
@nixCraft @GeorgeMari cable until FTTH gets here "this summer”
PleaseDelete@nixCraft I currently use VDSL. Just this week i signed a contract for the upgrade to fibre. Supposed to be done in march 2024 ...
James Harris - Find my bridged Bluesky account@nixCraft I have cable 100 down / 30 up. Pay $51 Canadian a month for it. I could get gigabyte service, but honestly don't really find my service lacking at the current speed. I stream virtually everything in my house and it does the job.
crw@nixCraft 1gb fixed wireless - i lucked out into living near a data center
ricardo 
@nixCraft Cable: 600 Mbps down, 60 Mbps up. Can't complain.
Catherine is not complacent@nixCraft I have jumper cables connected to a garden gnome.
raederle@nixCraft I have point-to-point wireless. I don’t have the option for cable or fiber. I have to have a cell booster 30+ feet in the air to get any sort of cell/mobile signal. Satellite worked about 60% of the time so wasn’t worth the huge cost.
Ben Rosengart@nixCraft @futurebird none of the above (terrestrial p2p radio)
annie gray@nixCraft
We live in a rural area and were stuck with terrible DSL for years. Dead end road, so CenturyLink had no incentive to ever improve the service. Finally, mobile gateway became available!

Fuck Spez@nixCraft I got t-mobile internet with my phone plan for 30 a month and get 300 down and 70 up. It's very reliable where I am also
Tai xzo@nixCraft It would be nice to have an option for “multiple” - e.g. I have satellite but also a 4g modem as a backup
Frost, wolf of winter 🐺🎄
@nixCraft None of these. Really crappy wifi that goes down regularly. We have to use our router's 5G band as an uplink.
spikederailedI used to have ftth at the last city I lived in. Not at option at the current residence yet... only charter :(
Jens W. Klein@nixCraft fiber in the street, last 70m existing broadband cable. This in Austria. What shall I check?
Ash_Crow@nixCraft Freebox Delta, so fiber, up to 8 Gb/s down, 700Mb/s up.
Legion495@nixCraft Cable is vastly better than DSL. Not really comparable.
Rod@nixCraft Our connection type isn't shown. We've got a 10 Mbps fixed wireless (aka point to point wireless) connection. Ah, the joys of rural living...
Gorgeous na Shock!@nixCraft I live in one of the first cities in the world to have electrical wiring... and it will probably be one of the last to have FTTH (at least in my neighborhood)!
Ben Howard@nixCraft the last time I moved, I specifically checked what internet was available and that I had the option of two providers. Hands down, I am very happy with my 1G up/down.
J. Blake@nixCraft I can literally see AT&T national headquarters from my house and can only get 1999-level dsl speeds. While my brother in rural texas just got fiber.
Raymond Russell@nixCraft
I went from Virgin Media UK 'fibre' to a 4G unlimited sim from another provider nearly three years ago.
I'm the only person using connection.
The main difference is cost, mobile setup is about 40% of the cost of the previous one. Also no contract and no price rises in the time I have used this particular SIM deal. I did use an old 4g phone (hotspot) for 2 years and upgraded to an opened but new in box router from ebay for £26 GBP ($35 USD approx).
I currently pay £18 GBP for my SIM.

Laura Orchid@nixCraft I'm using Three 4G as my main internet. Sad it's only 9% :/
jagdtigger@nixCraft Cable, 500/25. And 2 half an hour phone call to get the ISP to remove CGN..... (I wish ISPs would just get off their butt and implement IPv6.....)

@nixCraft FTTB + DOCSIS, sadly...
