Is there any mention of speeds over 1024Mbps available in the UK? It seems rare to find such high rates, especially without considering upload speeds.

Same issue again, I'm stuck with 60mbps download and 18mbps upload—it's not good.

I received it from BT Vodafone and gigaclear in my region.

They each support a maximum of 1 gigabit (1024 megabits per second).

Over 1024 is possible only if you remove a leased line, but BT can support up to 40G for business use.

It's unusual for regular consumer ISPs. You might be able to get them to arrange it if you're prepared to pay, though they often restrict it to business customers. Also, 1Gigabit equals 1000Mbps, not 1024Mbps. It uses a decimal system, which is base 10.

Beyond that, it seems unlikely you'd find a consumer-friendly deal. You'd likely need to explore business solutions, which would be costly. Also, 1G equals 1000M—seems straightforward. I'm comfortable with gigabit speeds. Just moved into a new place where the street was upgraded to Citerfibre. A Vodafone reseller offered 900M, but I'm unsure if that's a fixed limit or just a temporary measure. If I stayed there, I'd prefer my current 360/36 VM plan before.

I believe Gigabit internet is the best option for home users. Leased line services such as BTNet can reach up to 10Gbps, though the expenses would be very high. I have a 1Gbps BTnet connection at my business that isn’t included in a cabinet for FTTC, and it’s around £250 per month. I’m sure a 10Gbit link would be about ten times faster. Keep in mind that gigabit speeds usually don’t mean 1Gb download rates. Most providers advertise it as 900Mbps and note they only promise 600Mbits for that plan. C

I'm not based in the UK, yet many internet connections rely on specific technologies. For instance, in my region AT&T provides only 18 Mbps download speeds due to their ADSL setup. Our preferred provider, Comcast, can deliver up to 1.4 Gbps down and 45 Mbps up via coaxial lines, or a 6 Gbps system over fiber if you're willing to pay the premium. In contrast, AT&T offers up to 5 Gbps symmetrical speeds through fiber in certain areas. Google has also rolled out 8 Gbps fiber in some locations this year. I remember reading several discussions about the UK still relying heavily on DSL, though many networks are transitioning to fiber.
