1.5 Mbps because it's the cheapest possible plan I can get. Similarly, my cell phone plan only gets 2gb of high speed data. Fuck Comcast. Fuck em all.

Well somehow I get 20mbps but I'm still on the cheapest.

    $45/mo I can watch online videos just fine. I don't have anything 4k so I haven't tried that much. I can even play online games. The latency is still low.

      No, I'm in a fairly big city with an ISP monopoly

        No, I mentioned 4k because I know those are huge file sizes.

        Comcast pricing is always fishy, but in my area they claim:

        • 15 Mbps $40
        • 75 Mbps $50
        • 175 Mbps $65
        • 275 Mbps $80
        • 500 Mbps $120
        • 1000 Mbps and 2000 Mbps available, unknown pricing

          These are prices for 'new customers'. It's Comcast/NBC, they have a monopoly in many places and roll dirty. They consistently get the lowest customer satisfaction rating nation wide. My only other options are very slow ATT DSL or the Hughes satellite internet.

            Oh, I think I am on $40 plus $5 more for modem rental.

            That's insane. I pay $50 for 300 mbps.
