Sigh... I wish it were like that in my country (.de). Your ISPs seem to have done the right thing, letting go of the useless asymmetric download/upload-rate as soon as the technology allowed. Here they still do that asymmetric nonsense on fibre(with the exception of a few regional ISPs), if there is fibre available at all. Milk the cow until it's empty, I guess.

:(

I'm still amazed that they did it this way... They could've easily gone the asymmetric way, no static IPs, no custom routers, higher prices, etc.

Looking at their offers now, you even get unlimited 4G with the gigabit fiber package for an extra $5.

People in the countryside now use unlimited 3G/4G exclusively, so fiber rollout is slower, but afaik still ongoing.

Not really sure what to make of it. Maybe they want to attract and retain people working online/remote. But that clearly isn't working, citizens leave the country at the first opportunity. Digital nomads are certainly welcome, though.

The average user doesn't care one bit, they just want to browse Facebook/VK/OK/Youtube.

Still, have to admit, it's a pretty great thing they're doing.
