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...

And I'm almost paying the same as you for your new link here in Austria haha.
Good idea on having FTTH as a requirements for moving in. I'm in the same plan, so I might consider this as a requirements too. Not sure if FTTH is very common here though. **insert thinking emoji here**
