@toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town @theraspb@aus.social I'm told that some upgrades on the docsis side are coming, which will enable 1G symmetric (I'm on 500 down / 35 up IIRC at the moment).
They've been saying that for something like the past two or three years. I'm not holding my breath.
But last time I quoted for fiber they would have had to directional-drill the entire length of my street at an estimated cost of around $80K. So that's not an option yet.
There's new apartments being built the next street over though, fingers crossed they run a fiber to that building and maybe I can get an install for <$50K at some point :p

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange Spectrum's been talking about the upgrade for years, supposedly it's coming in the summer to my area, but per Reddit people are getting it, so that's something. That said, there's a local(ish, same state) company building out fiber who's finally starting to build out in my neighborhood and is taking orders. I'm planning on switching, even though they do IPv4 CGNAT. I get a /60 for v6 at least. @theraspb@aus.social
