So, I have a 50/50 line currently. My ISP offers 4 tiers.

1000/1000 ($317)
150/150 ($140)
50/50 ($70)
30/30 ($58)
-Prices are without bundles.

Today I find out the slowest 3 tiers are getting a speed increase at no additional charge.

250/250
100/100
50/50

When my ISP got started a year or two ago the speeds were originally
15/15
30/30
75/75
300/300

I think every ISP should look at EPB as an example. Fiber to every home, fast fast speeds, huge speed increases for no price hike. Currently tops Google because they actually are running service, lol. Goes to show that it doesn't take a large company like Google to offer fast speeds, even gigabit. Also goes to show that this bandwidth scarcity doesn't and shouldn't exist with many providers offering slow a$$ speeds and people wanting to cap bandwidth.

Only thing EPB needs to offern is like a 5/5 line for uber cheap or even free. Every home already has fiber running to it as my ISP is also the local power provider. They have a smart grid in place so run fiber to every digital meter already.

Cant wait to get home and run some bandwidth tests. Time to update my sig.
