After 16 years of living in my city, they will finally have city-wide fiber internet. I’m pretty stoked because the fastest internet I could possibly have is a WISP at 50gbps down and 10gbps up. Now I will finally have gigabit but it’s through the city, and I’m wondering if they will be more strict on illegal content download given a possible VPN leak. I know this is highly subjective but I want to understand all the possibilities what could happen.

      I mean, I can get symmetrical 25gbit/s for 777 bucks a year IN Switzerland. No limits, big ipv6 subnet, great provider. Init7.

              That’s really really good.

              I’m at 5Gb for 30€/month, but it’s 2x2.5Gb (I think upload is 1Gb) but I don’t have anything better than a 1Gb switch/network cards and so on anyways :-D

              The box includes wifi6 though, 300Mb “practical” which is kind of having nothing to do with download speeds but quite comfy.

              Cheers from France!

        Or under 600 per year for 10gb/s with Wingo. Or used to be as they seemed to have jacked up the price and dropped to 1gb/s making Init7’s a better option. Thankfully I’m grandfathered into the old 49/month for 10gb/s for life.

          Thing is, yes. Yallo or wingo or all those providers are “cheaper”. But - for example in the case of yallo, you get double-natted - which means you could not really set up a home server accessible from the outside world even if you wanted to. Then, there’s also the support of wingo and yallo and so on which is… Terrible. I actually ordered yallo Internet at first because I got sold on it over the phone - the next day, before anything got shipped or anything, I wanted to annul my contract because, well, I found out about their shitty stuff. I was redirected like 8 Times across 8 levels of ‘support’ until I got it through.

          I went for init7. Day it was supposed to go up, it didn’t. Phone support was competent, said everything looked ok from their end. If I was sure the problem wasn’t on my end (router, settings, fiber), they could send a technician along the next day - but if the problem would end up being on my side, I’d have to pay for it. As I was sure about what I was doing, the next morning I had a competent technician in my apartment who within 20 minutes total identified the issue and fixed it (broken fiber in the distribution center). That is good support.

          I am willing to pay more to support init7, because they’re doing great work.

          But yes, we have lots of low cost options. For example, I pay 23 bucks a month with yallo for unlimited 5g data, calls and SMS across the whole of Europe.
