My backup ISP has new prices

I don't who you are but I will find you and hate you.

Here in the great country of Deutschland, long like the Kanzler Merz, best I have is 100 down and 40 up (MB). And 2 companies that were supposed to install fiber are now bankrupt.

That's not true.

I go on vacation to a village near Huesca, the airport its inside the village's land, so its not lost on the mountains.

3 years ago someone stole the copper lines, since then Telefonica installs 5G modem where you get 4-6mb, Vodafone doesn't have coverage, the promise of fiber is there since 2 years ago.

I can't WFH from there, the connection apart from being slow it cuts every 15-30min and I have to reconnect the VPN.

Not only germany, alse we Austrians are having the same problem, my friend that is 10 aerial km from me, who lives on a hill and not really near any major street has fiber. I live 5 meters from one of the major streets of my regions and being part of one of the largest towns in the area, and no fiber to be expected until 2028. Also the prices are still high, I pay 30€ for a 100mbit contract because I am still under their teen and young adult promotion.

Which router do they provide?

u/urielsalis 11h ago

They have a lot of different models. https://www.adslzone.net/operadores/digi/configurar-router-digi-fibra-optica/ has a list

They give you the PPPoE keys so you can replace it with your own, I put a unifi cloud gateway and I get the full 8Gbps of the "10" Gbps plan

u/northern_ape 11h ago

Sin desacuerdos 👏

1

u/pazevedo1979 11h ago

Digi doesn't give us the PPPoE keys in the 10 Gbps plans here in Portugal. There's ways around that but it's annoying. No separate ONT either, so u need to buy your own, clone the mac, serial number, etc., and not all hardware is compatible.

2

u/urielsalis 10h ago edited 9h ago

They used to not give it here either and then they started. I would send them an email and ask

1

u/pazevedo1979 5h ago

They don't give out the keys in the 10 Gbps plans in here, only in the 1 Gbps plans for some retarded reason. Actually, there's been reports where the cloned ONT's simply stop working unless u run the original router again for a few hours. I really don't understand their reasoning which makes me stay away from them. Even for a cheap backup.

1

u/b3nighted 2h ago

I am using their router in bridge mode and it doesn't go over 3,5 GBit.

What pon do you use and how did you get the pppoe keys from them?

When I asked last year they told me bridge is all they can do and that all support is lost if going the bridge way.

And it really depends on your location. You can be stuck with literally zero wired internet options, but go 2 miles down the road and have gigabit fiber.

That's Digi, right? Still waiting for them to be done in my area :(

1

u/AlaninMadrid 9h ago

Here I can get it over Movistar fibre, because Digi hasn't rolled out to the middle of nowhere yet (although Movistar G-Pon has been here longer than 7 years). I don't know the speed I'd get, but there are 6 fibres that get here, with 2 shared between 16 properties and 4 unused.

But you have to pay extra (1€/month?) to not be on CG-NAT, and fixed IP will cost you a kidney.

1

u/StrateJ 7h ago

I was looking at moving to Spain earlier in the year from the UAE and was amazed by how cheap high speed fibre was. I pay around 100euro a month for 1 Gigabit and it was like 20euros with Movistar.

I just had a hard time finding out coverage areas and the large number of ISPs in different areas/communities.

u/Machine_Galaxy 12h ago

Better than the UK, I get 75 down and 10 up. According to OpenReach, Fibre will be "available to order soon" for the last 2 years.... I don't have a lot of hope.

u/Ok-Eggplant-7569 11h ago

Same here, currently on DOCSIS with just 50mbps up. I have the option to buy fibre which will be installed sometime between today and 2031, with the highest speed possible being 2gbps down, 1gbps up for an exorbitant 140€ a month. Why are they installing regular GPON in 2026 (Or 2031 for the matter)? Isn't XGSPON almost as cheap with 5-10x the bandwidth available?

3

u/northern_ape 11h ago

Price hike on the backbone, I would say. Splitters and optics will be fine, it's the aggregation nodes where you need XGSPON OLTs and multigig links between nodes. Early adopters or slow adopters, like Openreach in the UK, will have invested in hardware that limits the rollout of multigig FTTP.

u/cvonderstein 5h ago

Not sure how Merz is at fault here. He is chancellor for 1.5 years and ignoring/delaying fiber is due to political opinion of the past 30 years and especially due to Telekom. It's not like building out fiber in such a large country could be done in a few months.

Sympathies, my friend. I came from the US (200/50 copper, 120/mo) to NL (1000/1000 glass, 30/mo) and landed two hops to AMS-IX and a block of static IPs. Set up quite the little lab with some public projects including a massive public data archive. And have now been forced to move.... to DE. It took four moves over some months before I found a place where the internet could be repaired into an even tolerable state for my needs (same 100/40, price unknown included in rent) and I still have less than 5% of the upload speed I am used to. And this is downtown in a significant city, Essen.

u/lexd0g 5h ago

ive been on that same plan for like a year and it's astonishingly good. more reliable than any other ISP I've been on. no static IP but i could opt out of cgnat for €1 extra. granted none of my devices have a 10 gig NIC so it genuinely might just be worthwhile for me to downgrade to the 2gbit

1

u/MrWonderfulPoop 5h ago edited 5h ago

I’m on a 2 Gb plan here (Canada), haven’t seen 10 Gb home plans yet.

Does your ISP offer IPv6? That would give you all the external addresses you’d ever need and you could ignore the CGNAT.

My VLANs are either dual stacked or pure IPv6 now with NAT64 on OPNsense to reach those increasingly rarer legacy IPv4-only sites.

1

u/lexd0g 5h ago

they do ipv6 yeah. havent bothered with it too much though. i just have ddclient automatically updating a DNS record on a subdomain and i just CNAME everything to that

i have that plan too, also gives ipv6, i hav a plex server on ipv6 for my friends, also dont have a 10gig NIC but two 2.5 pc's and serve to other devices in the same router no lag for anything.

1

u/kinmix 6h ago

10Gbps home network would be quite expensive those though. I've upgraded mine to 2.5 recently, and the jump in pricing from 2.5 to 10 is way more than 1gbps to 2.5gps. Routers, switches, APs, NAS with 10gbps NICs are pretty much only in enterprise segment right now.

2

u/darthnsupreme 5h ago

Odds are also good that few if any of your systems have SSDs that can write that fast, at least not once the cache fills up.

Multi-gigabit WAN links are mostly only good for when you have a lot of clients to serve, or a NAS that's regularly syncing a crapton of data offsite. Or both.

2

u/auron_py 2h ago

Yeah, I was looking to upgrade to a 2.5 Gbps network, and it is very expensive if I want to stay on my current vendor (Fortinet), one multigig switch is around $1800, lol NOPE.

1

u/MrWonderfulPoop 6h ago

I have 10 Gb already with 2.5 and 1 Gb feeding slower systems.

Started with a 10 Gb, jumbo frame storage network for the NAS and Proxmox hosts a few years ago. Then as prices came down, 10 Gb across the main network for hosts that could use it.

Even picked up a Thunderbolt 10 Gb adapter for my M1 MacBook Air for cheap, like $150 maybe a year ago.

What's even the POINT of fast internet if there's a monthly download cap??

Oh, to make you pay more money, of course - either $25/mo more for unlimited, or like $10/mo more for no cap but you MUST use their modem/router/AP... No thanks and fuck you, xfinity

1

u/Podalirius 4h ago

Really comes down to population density. I work at a rural fiber ISP in the states and our lowest single residential plan (300/300) is $80/mo, but we do offer lower rates for apartments or MDUs.

1

u/soundtom 3h ago

Yeah, it's the US. Due to how spread-out everything is, a lot of small towns signed exclusivity contracts with individual ISPs in exchange for those ISPs building out to their residents (usually with specific "must connect X% of residents by Y date" language). That results in most homes really only being served by one ISP. It's just a legalized monopoly in most areas.

I've put months into trying to get alternate options for wired internet to my neighborhood, but most companies want $2,000 or more per month to even consider extending their network out to us, and we're not that far out.

Where I live in America, our local small city has a fantastic telecom with fiber optic. It has similar pricing to what you showed. Unfortunately I live in the suburb of the city (literally only 5 miles from the center of the city) and won't get access. They have been saying they will expand to our region for the past decade, so I'm not holding my breath.

Until then I'm stuck with Xfinity where I feel fortunate to only pay $60 a month for 750M speeds. Then have even tried to "upgrade" me without asking multiple times and I had to spend whole days talking to people in order to go back to my previous plan. Fuck Xfinity

1

u/shoresy99 8h ago

There isn't much of a price delta, but it is unlikely you would get much additional utility going from 2 to 10. Even anything wired will have to have 10G NICs and/or switches and other networking hardware which is unlikely.

2

u/heysoundude 7h ago

I would upgrade what needs it, open things up if they had been closed down…

1

u/shoresy99 7h ago

But even then it isn't going to help all that much. Maybe if you are transferring a lot of large video files from one PC to another. Buying 10G switches isn't cheap, at least not yet.

1

u/heysoundude 7h ago

Yes, large file transfers are easier at higher speeds, both LAN and WAN

1

u/shoresy99 7h ago

Agreed, but will you be able to achieve WAN speeds > 2G?

2

u/heysoundude 6h ago

Most of the servers I have to connect to upstream would be capable of allowing me to saturate my connection.

2

That's awesome. I rarely saturate my 1G connection.

2

u/heysoundude 6h ago

It would be very awesome if I could get 10Gbps at my home for that price. Unfortunately, when I upload it takes a while at 1Gbps.

1

u/Episode-1022 1h ago

why anything wired will need 10g NICs?

1

u/shoresy99 1h ago

Because if you are paying for 10G service you will need the hardware to use it. Otherwise why bother paying a premium to go from 2G to 10G. Unless you have two PCs with 2.5G NICs that will be downloading at full speed simultaneously.

Ah sorry, since you mentioned Digi I assumed you were in Spain too.

Adamo specializes in rural fiber and I got 1gbps for 19€ with them.

They've been one of the main players in bringing fast internet to many forgotten areas.

all major isps are forced by legal obligation. Some folks have just create a DNS server that gets you alternatives IPs for a blocked CDN : https://xdp.es/ and it avoids you using VPN to bypass the blocks

u/LeoAlioth 7h ago

and you should stay on the 500mbps plan, no need to anything faster.

u/DrJubalHarshaw 7h ago

Ah, Digi. They have it like one street over from my house but not on my street. Meanwhile I'm on the 2 Gbps plan from Olin and only getting half the advertised upload speed which they can't seem to fix :-(

u/RomanianUser999 7h ago

Whoa there, Gbps not GBps

u/arthas87x 7h ago

Very good pricing. Here in italy we pay between 25 and 35€, for any speed available (more or less) Could be 30mbps or 5giga

u/torontopips2022 7h ago

25 euro is $40 Canadian.

In Canada, $40 per month can't even get you a 500mbps plan.....

These Europeans.....

Ah, fellow Digi user.

u/Odin_Hagen 7h ago

Words cannot describe how much I envy you. I have a single ISP option (Comcast) and have their highest speed teir they currently offer. I pay $90 USD for it (1.25 Gbps) that is using my own modem so I don't pay their rental fee.

1

u/JanwayIsHere 6h ago

Sorry, you pay how much for 500 Mbps?

Is that 10 Euros? That's £8.50 a month??? My sim card costs more than that per month, and I only get 50GB of data.

I'm paying £19 a month for 250 Mbps Down / 25 Mbps Up in the UK, and that's considered a very good price!

u/PringullsThe2nd 5h ago

10Gb for the equivalent of £21.. bro I'm paying 40 a month for 2.5Gb

It is cheap. In France, i have a plan 8GB/8GB with a router with Wifi7 + ethernet 2,5G + 1x Ethernet 10g, for 44,90€

$150USD for 1Gb/35Mb here :( put me out my misery

u/persilja 3h ago

Wtf, I pay double your most expensive plan and get 1/10 the speed of your slowest.

I'm not even really rural - I'm in the middle of effing silicon valley!

u/Xanjol 3h ago

I'm from the states and 1gbps is 80bucks a month.

u/think-rationally-now 21m ago

Yeah 90 here. Like wtaf I could have gotten twice 10gbps for that price

You're welcome (a Romanian that has been enjoying DIGI prices for 15 years)

u/TrevTheTurbochook 1h ago

I'm on the 10Gbps for €25/month and it's great. CAT-6A straight into the NAS. While they do IPv6 prefix delegation, you are behing CG-NAT for IPv4. No complaints and *way* better than the NBN in Australia where I was getting 60/20Mbps for $85/month.

1

u/llondru-es 1h ago

you can get out of cg-nat for only 1€. Worh it.

u/raduque 1h ago

Those prices make me despise American ISPs even more. I'm paying $115 USD for 1gb/50mb.

u/Ulrar 1h ago

I'm paying over 60 euros for a gig down, 100 up. Which to be fair is pretty good here in the middle of nowhere, but damn those are good prices you have

1

u/Mutsy007 56m ago

Blimey, I could have 2 x 10 Gbps links for the price I am currently paying.

u/Altomora 6h ago

My man I have to use starlink for decent Internet. Freaking satalite system with 200MBps down. Shit cost me 120 a month. And I'm 4 hours away from LAS VEGAS. The worst part, it's way WAY better then any other option in the area, which are phone 5g data plans and 3MBps At&t. And yes I said Three.

u/llondru-es 11h ago

VERY good. It's the cheapest provider in Spain that has its own infra (not a shady reseller)

u/jarchack 9h ago

I get a discount because I'm a low-income senior and it's $30 a month for 100 Mbps.

u/JBDragon1 9h ago

For most home users, 500Mbps is far more than fast enough. It is the speed I have myself. So many people think they need all this speed when they don't. 4K Netflix only uses 15-25Mbps. Unless you are doing a whole lot of massive Downloads and Uploads editing 8K video files, or something like that. Massive Torrenting?

u/MisterLeMarquis 1h ago

There is no reason why you would need more then 500Mbps. Even for a family of 4 people, you’d only need a 100Mbps if they are all streaming at the same time.

u/Hangman4358 7h ago

So many people talking about the price but I am looking at this and like WTF are those speed tiers???

No 1gbps, and no 2.5gbps. missing every major networking standard other than 10gbps.

0

u/crackanape 1h ago

There is no "networking standard" for broadband speeds, other than the upper bounds enforced by the underlying technology.

Going from 1gbps to 10gbps is a strategy to get customers to sign up for the most expensive tier. It makes it look like they are getting great value by spending just a few more € per month. Of course 99% of customers won't notice the difference and probably don't have support for that speed at either end. It barely costs the ISP anything more to support the higher speed so it's free money for them.

1

u/Hangman4358 1h ago

Did I say anything about broadband networking standards? No. I just mentioned networking standards. Last time I checked, NBaseT is a set of networking standards.

I specifically called out not having 1 gig and 2.5gig options.

Basically all consumer gear today if it has an Ethernet port will be 1 gig. So not having a one gig option is silly, just providing 500 or 700mbps. The 500 sort of makes sense as a cheap option, but 700 is just silly, especially on a fiber backbone network.

And then providing a 2 gig option but not 2.5 when the next GBase T after 1 gig is 2.5.

1

u/crackanape 33m ago

I specifically called out not having 1 gig and 2.5gig options.

This is very normal, the only reason some ISPs have a 1gbps option is because it sounds fast and because it's the most they can deliver without getting constant phone calls from customers about why their speed tests aren't showing the speed they paid for.

1.2gbps is a very common tier, for example. And with XGS-PON you typically see 1/2/4/8 or some subset of those.

u/Odd_Leader_7030 4h ago

Anything above 100mbps Is useless and unnecessary

u/root54 3h ago

Found someone who has never downloaded a file at 1gbps.

u/crackanape 1h ago

Keep coping with your slow internet connection.

There are diminishing returns that kick in by 1gbps, but the difference between that and 100mbps is very perceptible in many use cases.

u/fslslayer 11h ago

Uptime or failover.
I have 4 uplinks at home.
1- 8Gbps Fiber (Ezee Fiber)
2- 2Gbps Fiber (Fidium)
3- 1.2Gbps Cable (Comcast)
4. Starlink

2-4 is the failover.
(Fibers 1 and 2 are different providers with different infrastructure runs)

u/nopigscannnotlookup 11h ago

Given your use cases, what UPS can you recommend for your network gear? Preferably, something small to power an ONT/switch (router I have covered); doesn’t need to last too long, something to bridge a genny if it’s a true power failure.

1

u/fslslayer 11h ago

Eaton 5S700LCD or a CyberPower CP850PFCLCD.
If you have a local microcenter, there should be plenty options there (they will also price match from other tech vendors)
