Only 26 Mbps with FTTH?
I'm on a 30 Mbps monthly plan, it's supposed to give me 30 down and 10 up, which it usually does.
I would've gone for a higher plan, but they're so ridiculously expensive here, that 30 Mbps/month is for about 85 USD a month.
And the highest plan my ISP offers for FTTH is 100 Mbps, which costs in excess of 200 dollars a month, excluding taxes.
The only advantage I have on FTTH over DSL is the fact that it's rock solid in terms of reliability, whereas the DSL would disconnect about 3 times a day because of the crap infrastructure in my area.
