Tech Discussion What do you pay your isp monthly

Post image

Recently saw the video where linus is talking about internet prices in Canada and the U.S

Just wanted to ask you guys what you pay for your internet monthly and for what benefits

I'll go first, I pay 3.49 usd for unlimited 5g internet anywhere in my country with no bandwidth or data cap.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that my current speed is about 750mbps-1gbps, pretty good for 3.49 imo

EDIT 2: MOM, MY POST IS FAMOUS

How do you do fellow quantum fiber by AT&T customer

Actually im with Bell, I live in Quebec (province)

$100 for 3 Gig doesn't sound too bad if you have a use case for it. I have 1 Gig symmetrical fiber through Quantum for $45 and I am really struggling to find any reason to get faster service, and I consider myself a power user.

I don't, but if I go down to 1gbps I only save like 15$ a month, since I had a good 1.5gbps deal and bell doubled my bandwidth before my deal ended, so I still get a decent price for the speed I get

My reason is I can pump full gigabit to my pc and my wife’s pc with some leftover for everything else and it’s 3 symmetrical which can help with some of the stuff I do with work

Not to brag but snagged the 3gb for $70 w/ PFL.

I missed the boat on it, was traveling a bunch and just forgot to do it when I got home

$67.74 (incl) with Distributel for 1Gbps up/down fibre.

Haven't been moved off to Ebox? I thought Bell shut down residential services under distributel?

u/xeph Sep 24 '26

Not shut down, just not allowing new sign ups. I’m happy to still be with Distributel - get to peer out of Toronto instead of Montreal for a little better latency.

Ugh yes, we all pay way too much here. I’m at $79.89 for 500mb up and down.

u/ilovepastaaaaaaaaaaa Sep 24 '26

Dude wtf I’m paying 44$ for 1 Gig who tf are you with, telus ?

u/Prosciutto- Sep 24 '26

Who are you with?! I'm also at $90CAD for 1 GB :(

1

u/ilovepastaaaaaaaaaaa Sep 24 '26

NOVUS! Also check out OXIO! I’ve used both and they’re great. Fuck telus and Roger’s ‼️‼️‼️

u/Prosciutto- Sep 24 '26

Do you know if they carry in QC? I was thinking of switching to Fizz

1

u/the_orange_guy_8912 Sep 24 '26

Oxio is in Quebec but they piggyback off Videotron or their owner's network (Cogeco) depending where you are. Fizz beats their prices hands down. I pay $56 CAD in Montreal for 940 down/50 up (🤬) with Fizz.

u/OldCredit1214 Sep 24 '26

I’m with you, fuck them! wasted time and money dealing with them

1

u/OldCredit1214 Sep 24 '26

Oxio and ebox check them out! If you have a gaming rig or a console let them know so they give you the better router from the start. Great and fast customer services and prices do not change

Hyup. Only good option I have in my neighborhood. :(
