Linus: Your internet is too fast Me: Watch the video in 360p

I didn’t know 30 Mbps was too fast

I live in Ukraine and have a 1 gig optic internet in my condo that costs me around $8 monthly. No restrictions on connection speed, symmetrical channel, and great latency. One of the most significant upsides of going optic is that last winter, we had massive blackouts due to russian war, and the ONU terminal and my routers could be powered with a simple power bank so that I would have wifi even if the lights were out.

Network engineer here 👏 Well done on simplifying yet staying super accurate with the topic. Makes me proud to be an LTT fanboy haha. Good job guys & gals!

Was not ready for that big butts cut

Our Professor for networking told a funny story in his lecture where he called his ISP to get some more IPs to use for his servers, and they tried selling him a bundle, to quote the customer rep: "This bundle includes a few addresses for different standards, IPv4, IPv5, IPv6, all in there" Needless to say he tried to hold back his laughter as much as he could.

The biggest tip is to threaten your ISP with leaving. You can often pretty easily get down to <50% what you are currently paying and sometimes it can all just be done in a help chat box (was for mine). If you don't do it you're probably being ripped off.

As an isp technician this video is great. Sales teams are constantly convincing ppl to pay for a more expensive service you don't Ned especially the elderly who dont comprehend this Great video must watch Gonna start showing this to my customers

ISPs operate a cartel in my town. Every ISP offers ADSL 8mb to every household. But each ISP serves certain post codes with no overlap fast cable or fibre. They specifically make it so you can technically shop around but you can't specifically shop for fast internet, you only have one choice dependant upon where you live.

I worked at ATT as a technician and I would often suggest to customers to get the half a gig or even a quarter of a gig plans if they only intended to use the WIFI just general Internet use. Even half a gig is more than enough for most families.

Linus: "your internet is too fast" Me in australia with a 100/40 plan for $100/month.

This was a very spot on and apt video. My parents are in a VERY rural area and the entire region just got fiber internet. They were shocked when I told them to do the 200 Mbps plan. They're not gaming and barely stream more than one thing at a time. They're still overpaying but I wanted them to have the headroom for the future and for when I visit with the kids. Four months in, they're more than happy with what they're paying for. (Plus, it let me install a wifi beam system to beam wifi out to my cabin a mile across the fields to my cabin on the neighboring land without them noticing.)

"Your Internet is Too Fast" laughs in Australian

im actually surprised how many people have fast internet, ive been stuck with 3 to 4 Mbps my entire life depending how many people are in the house

I've side graded from a 240Mb/s coaxial with a lots of problems (would go down for a few minutes multiple times a week, sometimes I would spend weeks without being able to connect to a specific service and so on) to a 150Mb/s fiber to the home, sometimes when torrenting or downloading steam games I missed the extra speed, mostly in the beginning, but now I'm used to it and just the fact that it's being 2 years since I had to call the ISP for problems is so great, I haven't streamed anything with this connection but the times I streamed in the old connection I had a pretty bad experience.

I'm that guy getting by with the .25mbps connection most of the time. "too fast" is not a "problem" I have ever had in my life.

I work for a large European ISP. Our "Gigabit" tariff (1.000Mbs UP/200Mbs DOWN) costs about 80€ in Germany whereas the same contract in Slovakia costs only 30€ and has 100 Mbs more upload speed. The reason for this is that Slovakia has had a well-developed fiber optic network for many years, while in more western parts of Europe (e.g. Germany) the old DSL (copper) network was maintained for years, which now has to be painstakingly and cost-intensively converted to fiber optics. The ISPs of course pass this price on to their customers. In my opinion, it is cheeky that symmetrical tariffs are only available for business customers, even though the connection is technically no different from a "normal" household connection. The limitation here is purely digital, simply because ISPs can afford it as they have the upper hand.

Interesting. You finally convinced me that what I had in the back of my mind. I have 1 gig ATT fire and I do spend a lot of time waiting and watching my internet usage it's just not that busy.
