100 Mbps is pretty much the minimum speed for fiber; gigabit is not much more expensive. ISPs may offer lower-speed plans, of course.



Tell that to New Zealand then, we're in the process of doing (what appears like a bit of a mess of) a fibre rollout here. All the plans are 30/10 with the "premium ones" being 100/50.


That's the internet plan, not the physicality of the link; I have an (absolutely awesome for the US, still shit in my opinion) 35/10 plan from Frontier in the suburbs of Seattle, but the physical link is 100M, they throttle it at the switch.


In the UK most fibre is to the street with ADSL over copy for the last bit. I get 40/20 from that. I presume the street gets gigabit.
