What internet speeds do you have? I finally had a fiber line installed in my town.

Yay, it really makes the difference. I'm back on 5/Mbs as I'm in the countryside, but had 1/Gbs in town, and it really made the difference when gaming/downloading.

Indeed, I would make the switch immediately. I'm assuming for you it was like night and day difference?

DEAL ONLY ON SITE, I DO NOT DEAL ON DISCORD.

I would do unspeakable things for fiber

Yeah, definitely. The different as very noticeable. The biggest two things are I basically never buffer when watching stuff in HD and downloads are way faster.
Supposed to have 500mbps but so many people streaming and shit in my house.

Just downloaded an 80gb game last night at 100mb/s, not bad.

The upload cap is what kills me.

I will look into other providers that may have fiber already ran near me.

That's not terrible. I would image even with many people using the same connection, buffering is rare with those speeds.

I got super lucky and had one installed in my city not too long ago. Very nice upgrade!

Good luck on your search!

Buffering? Unheard of, haha.

Although it's not my current connection, I've tried actual fiber connect once and it was amazing, that said, I'm satisfied with my speeds rn too, I don't really need high speeds.

It's so nice not to have to worry about it. I remember, in the past, playing a YouTube video in HD would make my ping go up in a game. It was brutal lol

Yeah I went from being on a Wi-Fi connection and having probably one of the worst internet connections in North America

Upgraded 1-2 years ago to Fibre+ and now I'm wired in, the difference just in speed and quality of anything I do was worth it in itself, lol.

I agree. I wish this would have been an option all along.

It's just nice to not have to worry about speeds, buffering, or time when downloading something. Most of the time when I download something I more limited by the host than my internet speeds.
Fiber just recently became available in my city, but im 2 blocks out of the "cut off" zone...i cri
