So, that would be interesting to note who here is in the EU self-hosting w/ their symmetric, low-cost, high-speed ISPs, versus the US, paying $600/mo for a 5 year contract for 10/10 Mbit DIA setup (anecdote).



I am paying 76 euros/month for 500/100 (This is max achievable, with latency at around 6ms, after replacing their crappy router (12ms+) with mikrotik, throughput can be lower but mostly it is throttled by source) fiber connection + 1 phone (50gb download, LTE, with 80% of country coverage) + max iptv scheme with HBO + static ipv4 ip and reverse resolve. I would love to hear what the prices are around the world.

(edit: forgot to state country, Slovenia)


France

50€ for 950/300 (fibre by Orange) . I could get 10G/1G (fiber by Free) for 100€ but I could not use my own router inserted of the provided one.


In Romania there's an ISP with a 300 / 150 Mbps plan is 6.3 EUR/mo and a 940 / 450 Mbps plan for 8.4 EUR/mo. They also have phone plans similarly dirt-cheap (from 2 EUR/mo).


In Bulgaria for businnes, you can get 1Gbps/1Gbps dual-line fiber (in case one gets broken) with 16 IPs for about 200-250 EUR/month. But I guess the price is negotiable and will differ. For home you can get 100Mbps/100Mbps (no reverse DNS) for between 7-15 EUR/month.


I have DSL in US, and get 12Mbps down and less than 1Mbps up, for $55/mo.

Shared LTE phone and data plan (2 people) w/ 22GB/mo total is $160.

And I also pay about $800/mo for health insurance for 2 people.


We also pay for health insurance in France. I would say about 100€/mo for a family of four. It is directly taken off my pay slip so I am not sure about the exact number.
