Type=copper
Speed= 53 down/4.6 up (with VPN), 106 down, 5.7 up (without VPN)
Cost = $95/month (includes 1 phone line)
Where live = City (Seattle, WA).
We get ripped off here. The city government has divided the city up into zones and there's only a single provider in each zone (unless you want DSL which comes from the phone company). Thus no competition and ridiculous pricing in our high tech city.

Cable TV + internet ~20 Mbps down, ~3 Mbps up, 28 ms mean latency. I live in a small town in Argentina, so the price varies wildly in USD. Around 40-50 USD last week.

Poland, a large city. Corrently it's 80 PLN (~19 USD) for 300/30 Mbps optic fiber, but recently they called me with a new offer – 1000/100 Mbps for 20 PLN (~5 USD) more.
It's even faster than advertised too, I often get 320/40 Mbps (according to Speedtest).

Live in the outskirts of a larger (with Swedish standards) city region.
My fiber connection was upgraded two weeks ago to symmetric 10Gbps, paying ~$30 during the initial 6 month lower fee, and then jumping up to ~$55 after that.

I live in South Africa (Johannesburg):
20Mb Fibre @ R850 which at the current exchange rate of 15,34 (7 Sep 2018) == USD 55.41
BOOM!
And that is cheaper than the 10Mb ADSL I used to have

In Pennsylvania, U.S., am paying $201 but it is a bundle with landline (ugh), TV, and Internet @ 100 Mbps with Verizon FiOS.

4Mbps (4 down, 2 up), Uncapped, at about $42 depending on the exchange rate.

I have to say I'm quite surprised to get an answer to this question several months later.

From reading / hearing it on the news, I was one those people who went "bit O Gaffa, it be alright" and dang me if that not what they used! Mind you if I was in that situation, I would want to go the whole hog and chop a finger off my glove and do a Watney!

I already fired up the projector and made popcorn to watch this movie a few weeks ago. Must i do that again when I come home today?

I have to admit, I love Go as a language. It's incredibly elegant and, to my mind, makes things like concurrent programming a lot easier for people to get their heads around (using goroutines).

I did 2 whole tutorials.. and then I dropped it hahah.
But it did looks good.
Happy the generic is coming though, was kind of missing.

Yeah, the generic side is a pain. I worked around this, in the past, by using genny and a "template" file.

...I moved to another town.
A few weeks ago I mentioned that my Internet speeds were hanging out around 5MBPS even though I pay for 100 MBPS. Spectrum came out and physically stared at the incoming cable but staring at it didn't seem to do anything so the tech left. 
I knew I was moving so I gave up on caring about it.
Anyways, I am a new place, a new town and there is :
1 cable buried in the ground that comes up to my house.
Out of that one cable I ran a cable inside to the cable modem. No splitters, nothing else.
I also bought a quad-core tri-band router Linksys AC2200.[^]
I now get 114 MBPS over direct connect from cable modem. We have 3 people streaming UHD tv, PlayStation games and various other stuff and everything is fast.
So, if you're having problems, just move to a new city.

We did the same a few months ago. We lived in way out in the countryside with only adsl. Now we are in the city.
New Zealand is quite lucky in that everybody in the large towns and city has fibre running down the street and no cost to run it into your house.

Cannot move to New Zealand, though. You are upside down.

You get used to it. Just think like a bat..
Or an easy fix is to just become a member of the flat-earther. No-ones upside down then
