Anyone who is on 55MBps internet plans, how is the experience? (kbin.melroy.org)

I ask because I feel I need to save some money in the oncoming months. Currently, I pay over $76 for 100MBps/1000GB cap. And I don't think it's a bad deal, but they're going to be hiking it up to $90+ by next October and I feel it is not worth that. But I also need to save money too.

What is the difference between 55MB and 100MB when it comes to speed? The cap for the 55MBps plan is 350GB and I tried asking if that could be altered but the ISP says they can't. This plan will cost me $30 a month.

All I ever do anymore is just stream YouTube, sometimes Hulu/Netflix/Tubi. Occasionally I'll download a game or two, multiplayer gaming is non-existent.

Wow that is expensive.

In NZ I'm on a 300/100 plan with no data cap, for $77/month. That is about $43USD/month.

It definitely is, middle of nowhere Indiana here - I'm getting 1000/1000 for $95 and no cap. But I'm lucky enough to be in a location with competition, lots of areas in the US only have one option so they get charged whatever the ISP wants.

95 fucking dollars a month?!? And you reckon that's a good deal?

I'd call it Stockholm syndrome but even the Swedish know you're getting fucked up the ass 😂
