I am a Comcast subscriber, but I do not share your cynicism about their speed tests. Their results are virtually identical to what I get from my SamKnows box.

If a man speaks in a forest and his wife isn't around to hear it - is he still wrong?

My internet is about the same as yours and costs the same in my part of suburbia.
But I stopped worrying about what my wife thinks. I was single before I met her and she keeps making me feel that was the better situation.

65Mb down, 17Mb upload, no usage limits. Paying £25/month (USD32). This is fibre to the cabinet + copper to the house. Watford, UK about 1.5 miles from exchange.

here in the northern bits of johannesburg, we have 25mb fibre at home. supposed to be 50GB cap, but we were told it's uncapped until they get a client portal so you can track your usage. it's been over a year now, so i'm assuming they forgot.
this costs me R706 a month ($47.85). the actual uncapped package is R361 ($24.47) more. internet has never really been cheap in south africa.

As an example from outside the US, we (UK) have 100Mb (advertised 60-80Mb achievable) fiber to cabinet, copper to house (<100M) for £46 ($60) but that includes a phone line and TV. Its difficult here to get internet not bundled with phone and TV. We are in a suburb.

35€/month, 25 Mb/s, city. Yeah, I overpay a huge lot for what I'm getting.

For the longest time it was around $89/month for 100M connection (with no data limits). Lately they're charging about $65 for the same thing. We're out beyond the suburbs which might explain that. Our provider always extremely reliable so I don't mind the $65, we don't pay for any of the other TV services.

Tell your manager, while you code: "good, cheap or fast: pick two. "

Well I get half that speed for double the price. It seems like you have the best deal I've heard of

I'm having 75Mb fiber that costs $38/month with the current Real/Dollar rate and I live in a state capital, Curitiba.
That's very expensive for Brazil standard's, but it's the best internet provider by far.
(We have cases of providers offering 50mb, but less then 20mb actually arrives.

Type=copper
Speed= 53 down/4.6 up (with VPN), 106 down, 5.7 up (without VPN)
Cost = $95/month (includes 1 phone line)
Where live = City (Seattle, WA).
We get ripped off here. The city government has divided the city up into zones and there's only a single provider in each zone (unless you want DSL which comes from the phone company). Thus no competition and ridiculous pricing in our high tech city.

Cable TV + internet ~20 Mbps down, ~3 Mbps up, 28 ms mean latency. I live in a small town in Argentina, so the price varies wildly in USD. Around 40-50 USD last week.

Poland, a large city. Corrently it's 80 PLN (~19 USD) for 300/30 Mbps optic fiber, but recently they called me with a new offer – 1000/100 Mbps for 20 PLN (~5 USD) more.
It's even faster than advertised too, I often get 320/40 Mbps (according to Speedtest).
