> especially if you have a good ISP.

So almost nobody in the US or Canada then... I get 800/20 for ~140/month, including the $30/month fee for "unlimited" data. My other choices are starlink or DSL which are a fraction of the bandwith or speed.

I self-host everything that's "home-only" at home but use syncthing, rsync and a few other thing to replicate important data to a mix of S3, backblaze, google drive and some PVs attached to a hosted k8s cluster.

It works well enough.

Canada is vast, and it definitely causes pain, not that I'm excusing it for the ISPs.

A Bell 1.5Gbps/940Mbps FTTH connection is $120 without a deal if you're in an area it is available, but then you go three blocks down the road and all you can get is a 300/30 cable connection for $90.

A little further down that road, and maybe only DSL or Starlink is available.

Just got Bell 1.5Gpbs/940Mbps for 50$, no time limit. The base price was 90$, but got a big rebate because some salesman came to my house.
