The internet superhighway was installed today. Fiber optic data connections are being driven deep all over rural areas due to .gov incentives. Right now I have a 1 gig test connection, but I will go with 300-600 MB in 2 months. My provider has standby power on their underground network, with my standby power, it would take a prolonged power outage to lose connectivity.
Congrats! Most here in North Idaho have transition to Starlink which has been a huge improvement, nothing close to speeds that you are getting but huge improvement from what we had. I just ran a test and got 116Mbps upload with a 25 ms latency which is about normal, not great but it does the job and, like I said is a huge improvement. Fiber would be really nice....
Home internet (western NY) currently Spectrum cable....thinking "up to" 300 megabit/second? Switched my prepaid cellular over to BOOM Mobile a few months back, on the Verizon network, with a 5G capable phone. Now that's some impressive speed! Just ran a 4 minute video on Youtube.....loaded instantly, no lag, no worries. Think it actually runs smoother than the cable internet, thru WiFi.
Cable will have a hard time competing with the fiber providers Symmetrical internet, cable is dealing with old coax and trying to use various DOCSIS 3.0... 3.1...4.0 upgrades but the coax on the poles is decades old. Cable is holding onto coax the way that telcos held onto their twisted pairs. If you have cable, you are seeing or will see video channels go away as they reclaim video bandwidth for data channel bonding.
I jokingly? think that one day as A.I. makes life miserable people will curse Musk's name for Starlink and the surveillance state it created. I have local internet and enjoy videos and reading, shopping online. It will be hard to give up.
