      For some it’s long overdue. Fiber is soon to be 20 years old at my house.

      But honestly, I don’t think most people need hyper fiber anyway, so that’s probably why we havent seen it.

        I would say most people do not need a home connection that is in the same order of magnitude as the average data center server connection in use at the same time. Mostly because by definition there won’t be many servers to transfer data from and to at that speed and the average person doesn’t run too many connections in parallel.

          Then again, with federation and people “taking back” the internet, it could be useful… One day that is ofc.

            Realistically most people will still not run devices 24/7 at home. Data centers will always have a place for that kind of service, even if they host a lot of small, independently owned devices by the very same people whose home connections we are talking about.

        This week I was discussing with a friend trying to check some boxes and see if she really needed the 10Gbps connection they were planning to subscribe to on the new house. The usual 1Gbps connectiom we already have is more than enough. But we considered that in very small cases it might be useful.

      I have gigabit (0.7 up) and for 10€ plus (so a total of 40€/month. Just to annoy our American friends ☺️) I can get 10Gb symmetrical. The nerd/geek in me wants it but I just don’t need it

      My best friend is still on 15Mb/s in central London 💀

      I just moved to a new place with full fiber optic and it’s the first place I lived in where that’s a thing.

          I think a lot of the reports of high bandwidth/cheap rates around Europe are cherry picked. When I looked a nationwide averages, it doesn’t seem particularly better or worse than much of the US. At least, not in the populated areas of the US. Rural access is another issue.

            If we want to cherry pick …. Here in the US, i switched over to gigabit symmetrical over pandemic, but fiber has been available from three providers at that speed over a decade. Of course IPv6 has been “in progress” for that decade, with no sign of progress

        I’m outside of Houston and sure I get 70-80mb down and 20 up on conventional copper but I would greatly prefer fiber…
