ISPs in the United States have a reputation for being scummy and terrible with their services. In your experience, what’s the service like in your particular European country?

  2. In the UK I used to use TalkTalk. They were absolutely fine, as long as nothing ever went wrong. Then you were doomed. Also you had to get everything in writing (Webchat with a transcript) because I agreed a new deal with them and 3 months later they tried to put the price up. Then they tried to up the price every 6 months or so.

    In Spain I had the worst experience imaginable with Vodafone and they are, by a very long way, the worst Internet provider I have ever known. I now use a smaller company called Pepephone and they are much better (and cheaper)

  3. Telekom is gold for speed and coverage of mobile data networks. Digi is gold for home internet in terms of speed, stability and price. I honestly don’t know how the others are able to pay its workers.

  4. service is fine, I have a package, internet + tv + phone, and it costs around 20eu, with optical cable internet and a 100/20 connection

    mobile phone is tied to the former package, so its 15eu per month for unlimited data and 5g, tho where I live I mostly get 4g+, which goes to 200mbps download speed.. and its 15gb data transfer in eu/eea

  5. Mine is a small cooperative run collectively by a bunch of villages out in the countryside. We have our own service guys so there a never any problems with the fiber network for longer periods of time. Yearly fees for the maintenance is like €90.

    But then we have to buy the internet service itself from the larger ISPs, and they are ok, but not great. Fairly expensive, about €35/month for 250/250 mbit/s.

  6. I pay 36,90 euro/month for one of the most expensive subscription in Italy with TIM/Telecom Italia. 200/20 VDSL.

    Even TIM is considered “infamous” by Italians, I have a very stable connection (150/160mbps FIXED in downstream), did not experienced big issues in last two years, just two downs fixed within 24 hours by them.

  7. You should know that reddit is full of Romanians just waiting for questions like these, so we can brag about our $5-8 for 1Gbps, while waiting for the arrival of $8-10 for 10Gbps (coming soon TM).

  8. For WiFi, depends where you live and if you have access to Fibreoptics, which can be a lot of money to have installed.

    For mobile, unless you live in a big city, internet can be fairly poor no matter who you’re with.
