Upgraded Internet connection - Fiber to the Home
Monday, May 24. 2021
Seven years ago I moved to a new house with FTTH. Actually it was one of the criteria I had for a new place. It needs to have fiber-connection. I had cable-TV -Internet for 11 years before that and I was fed up with all the problems a shared medium has.
Today, we're here:
Last month my Telco, Elisa Finland, made 1 Gig connection available in this region and me being me, there is no real option for not getting it. I had no issues with previous one, connection wasn't slow or buggy, but faster IS better. Price is actually 8€ cheaper than my previous 250 Mbit connection. To make this absolutely clear: I'm paying 42€ / month for above connection.
To verify result, same with Python-based testing speedtest-cli --server 22669:
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Testing from Elisa Oyj (62.248.128.0)...
Retrieving speedtest.net server list...
Retrieving information for the selected server...

Nice. Huh!
