I live in an area with Google Fiber. I’m on their standard gigabit plan, but apparently 3 and 8 gigabit is available for my address - all speeds symmetrical. Really should be the standard for what’s available across the US, but we wouldn’t want to offend upstanding companies like Comcast, ATT, Verizon, etc.

Thats the problem....

Right now I'm not even served by one of the big companies, and they haven't improved service in.... Years.

Even their fiber lines max at 500 symmetric, and they won't drop to a residence. No other options either.

Comcast is now in the area, and as much as I hate them.... It would be cheaper and faster by a lot (on both counts). Half the price, 25 times the upstream.

Its a sad state of affairs IMO.
