They've been expanding again, and are now offering 8gbps in my area. I've been very happy with it, and I'm still only paying $70/month.

That’s absolutely amazing. Besides hosting at home, do you feel any difference vs say a 1gbps line? Surely most servers won’t saturate this when downloading or browsing?

Our ISP (Sonic) offers 10Gb uncapped for $50/mo.

I don't feel any difference over our previous 1G service, other than it never lags, even if multiple kids are streaming video and I have a backup running. The biggest difference is that it's half the price of the 1G service that ran over AT&T's fiber.

I really wish Sonic would expand out to West Marin. My only options are comcast and starlink.

Ouch. I was ecstatic when they started offering service in my neighborhood in Alameda.
