    Dunno where they’re living but my dad lives in an eastern German “suburb” (which irl is just a 500 ppl village that happens to be within a 15km radius of a bigger city) and gets 1000GB/s through fiber optic whilst paying about 50 EUR. So maybe they meant 1k GB/s, they’re just living in no man’s land or German broadband prices vary dramatically.

        Tru dat, I meant, 1 GB/s or 1000 MB/s.

        Thanks for pointing that out ^^

          Still not quite. It’s 1 Gbit/s („gigabit“) not 1 GB/s („gigabyte“) which is a factor of eight apart. Marketing departments often obscure this by writing 1 Gb/s which is technically a valid way of writing one gigabit per second but very misleading. I‘ve never seen an ISP advertising in byte-based units and why would they? To the untrained eye they would look like they’re eight times slower than the competition.
