          Romania probably.

          They went hard on fiber investments a decade or two ago and now they have some of the world’s best internet.

          Last I checked you could get 10 Gbit for around 12€

            then it would be €1200 for a TB (assuming the price goes up linearly), so not cheaper than starlink

              10 Gbit as in speed, not data cap. In Europe (at least in most places afaik) we don’t have data caps on fiber.
              So no, not even close.

                Then you should write Gbit/s or Gbps, not just Gbit

                Also I live in Europe and my internet is capped at 50 GB and the max speed is 30 Mbps, so 10 Gbps is baffling to me.

                • Also in Europe (Germany). A cap to home Internet is kinda crazy to me. I don’t measure my usage, but when I did, I usually used about 2-3tb per month.

                  I have 1gbps down/300mbps up for 50€. Price is shit compared to other parts of Europe, but I can live with it.

              I think you’re misreading that as “10 GB of data,” when it’s actually download speeds of 10Gb/s. I looked it up, and there doesn’t seem to be a data cap.

              So it’s quite a bit cheaper than Starlink.

                I’m not misreading. The comment clearly says 10 Gbit, not 10 Gb/s

                  While you are technically correct, gigabit almost universally refers to speeds, and not size. You can probably blame the ISPs for that, since they love to advertise “gigabit service” and drop the bit about “per second.”

              That gigabit per second, without any datacap.

              Twitter guy is ordering 1000 gigabyte worth of data, or slightly over 2 hours of internet in Sweden at full speed.

                  Because gigabytes (GB) are units of storage capacity, and gigabits (Gb) are units of data transfer rate.

                  It’s implied it’s gigabits per second, as no one ever really measures it in like… Gigabits per hour, or year.

                    A gigabit is defined as 1 billion bits of data which is equivalent to 8GB. Both are a unit of capacity.

          I pay €18 for 250/100, of course unlimited data, and the company has no tracking and fully supports privacy etc. their main servers are based in the old cave where the pirate bay used to have theirs. It also comes with a great VPN, ID security and antivirus from f-secure (not that I use it since I’m on linux). And they just opened a datacenter inside an old war bunker in my city, with this description: “Freedom of communication and the virtual world need to withstand both Russian bombs and Donald Trump’s Cloud Act. This industrial bunker is built for just that.” In Sweden, if you hadn’t guessed.

        Flat fee of ~€70 to connect and then free for as long as I live in this apartment. 1000/1000 speeds as well, pretty sick honestly

        40€ for 250M over cable here. At least I don’t have issues with congestion/slowdown in the evening, which is a common downside of cable.

      Us lucky fiber users, I can get 8gig symmetrical for $300 and 2 gig for $75 a month. Still nothing like other non American countries but damn do I have it good for living here.
