So I upgraded my internet connection type from VDSL to fiber optics.
Hello guys.
Here is the new performance:
The previous was in the same package but due to the type of connection the ping was ~23ms, the upload speed couldn't be increased over 1mbps and frequent disconnections occurred. The upload speed here is 4mbps but it should be 1mbps as per the package and the rules. I was lucky enough that a good tech agreed to increase it for me. The price difference is only 27 US cents a month. Worth it for the higher upload speed and lower latency.
Other than having the same package, now I can increase the speed to two more packages; a $67 USD 50mbps (has 10mbps UL speed and can upgrade it to 20mbps for $~14 USD) and a $107 USD 200mbps (has 80mbps UL speed). Those two packages have some services including free phone calls and premium TV channels. My current package is 20mbps for $54 USD. I honestly don't think I could really make a worthy good use of speeds higher than that at the moment. Maybe I would one day if I had to extend the connect for more people or files get much bigger than they are these days.
VDSL supports a max of 100mbps DL but it deteriorates very quickly with distance and the lines are heavily affected by the surrounding. I couldn't get more than 40mbps in my previous connection and with heavy disconnections at best. Even the 20mbps I had sometimes went down to 19mbps. Let alone that the ISP's here only provided a max of 20mbps on VDSL. So forget about it.
