I've personally really enjoyed Ziply residential service. Rock solid and 2Gbps symmetrical is more than enough for my home lab needs.

Glad to see someone pushing these speeds farther and farther, not a ton of competition in the PNW.

Damn, must be nice if you can get it.

The travails and tribulations of actually getting Ziply Fiber were explored and documented on Penny Arcade a while back (read the accompanying text posts for the full story):

Cute. We currently pay 120/month for 10Gbps. Including 2 unlimited (fast!) 5G mobile contracts, Netflix, Prime, Disney+, and 60+ other channels.

Oh, that is symmetrical.

Welcome to Europe ;)

Sadly our WiFi maxes out around 2.5Gbps.

you have to be a bit more specific. It's not like you can get that everywhere
So... what do you actually do with a 50Gbps link? I remember watching an LTT video where they got a 10Gbps installation, and running speedtests over it never resulted in 10Gbps due to limitations on the Speedtest server's side
