I currently use Virgin Media as my broadband and we pay around £50 a month and my friend in Ireland is paying 35 Euros a month for 370MBPS download and 40 Upload? Am I getting ripped off by my broadband provider? We are using Hub 3.0

You seem to be referring to reverse upload and download capabilities. A 12/50 ratio would be quite rare. Getting download speeds is generally simpler than upload speeds. My download rate is 30 times higher than my upload rate. Prices vary based on the market. In densely populated areas with many ISPs, you can find speeds of 1000/1000 for $50. Rural regions typically offer 5/1 for $50.

MB versus Mb – a key distinction. 1 MB equals 8 Mb. Speedtest.net, most providers and typical speed checks use Mb, whereas platforms like Steam often list in MB. This usually comes down to your location, as some areas have limited bandwidth regardless of the unit. Also, when comparing GBP to euros it’s tricky to make a fair comparison. Each economy behaves differently. The best approach is to compare local or national ISPs and check their speeds and prices in your area. That’s the most reliable way to see if you’re paying too much.

The answer depends a lot on your location. In my area, Verizon provides gigabit speeds both ways. Comcast can offer up to 250Mbps down and around 75Mbps up at similar rates. Considering my preference for Verizon over Comcast due to their data limits and customer service issues, I value the reliability they give me with consistent performance. They handle downloads smoothly and have good phone support, which is important to me.

Ah, I understand now! I initially believed MB and Mb weren't important and assumed it was about megabytes per second. The numbers I'm seeing are 400MB and 96MB—does that seem like a decent speed? And how does this compare to typical pricing from providers?

MB refers to megabytes, Mb stands for megabit. When you receive 400MB per second, it suggests you're getting around 3.2Gigabit connections. This seems improbable at first, but if we consider typical 400Mb/96Mb rates, it's quite impressive. It might not be the absolute fastest available, yet it appears to surpass at least 90% of users. The value seems reasonable given current market offerings. Context matters, as pricing and speed comparisons depend on competitors.

You're receiving approximately 400Mb/96Mb speeds because of the recent screenshot.
