Ziply Fiber launches 50-Gig residential service for $900 per month

  I’ll bet if you actually use it 24/7 they will throttle/disconnect you. “Oh I’m sorry you used up your 1TB limit. No one needs more than that per month! Are you doing something illegal???”

    I was running 900 Mbps constant download for over 2 weeks on Zipply and never once got a notice. So they might honestly let people use the full data allowance.

      130TB huh? That’s a lot of Linux ISOs.

      Not that it’s feasible, but they themselves won’t have the bandwidth for a few 50gbps users 24/7.

      My 1gbps service is a 2.5gbps GPON split between 32 other users, i’ve always seen 1gbps. But theoretically it would only take 3 of us to max the connection out

      I did something similar on Comcrap, but over the course of a month or 2 (Yes, I pay for their stupid little modem so I can get their stupid little addon for unlimited) and speeds varied between 600ish-850ish

      I thought for SURE I was going to get something, at the very least a “Hey your usage patterns have massively changed, check your network for intruders” email.

      I didn’t get squat, so if Comcrap of all companies can do it I don’t see why any other would have a problem with it lmao

    I’ve had Ziply Fiber before (but not 50 Gbps) and would max their upload and they didn’t even bat an eye. It’s the only ISP that I would ever recommend.

    We have Zippy Fiber at my house (used to have Comcast) and I am kind of blown away by the service. I’ve had problems with outages twice and each time they notified us via text or email. It’s pretty awesome and we torrent all the time.

  This is kind of cool, but at the same time, there’s gotta be a catch. Beside that, I can’t imagine a situation where a residential location might want that. Even if I had a self-hosted data center for my entire family, their friends, and friends of their friends, I still couldn’t saturate that bandwidth

    Isn’t the catch that it’s 900 dollars a month?

    • PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      There’s probably still a bandwidth cap and it’s probably still the same shitty 1tb everyone else gets with $30 for every 10gb beyond that.

      About 10 years ago, the muni fiber outfit in the town next door lit up 10Gbit fiber for their entire footprint. The price? $900/mo. It's currently $300/mo, and they just turned on 25Gbit across their entire footprint ($1500/mo).

  why? does anyone need this?

  • echo64@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    This is a publicity stunt and an ad, no, residential users don’t need it. No one is gonna sign up, but it’s viral marketing targeted to land in exactly places like this and we eat it up

    If I had this I’d probably just become the neighborhood ISP, sell 1 gig symmetrical to 49 houses for $100/mo and you’re no longer paying for that connection after 9 customers

    Permits, a mini JCB, buried fiber runs and stuff would be expensive though… as well as routers for each customer… ah maybe I’d pass on that business opportunity actually 😅

      You could probably also run a pretty mean Wi-Fi connection. Like neighborhood mesh Network, $50 a month per person.

      You could probably sell a 1gig service to 200 users on a 50gbps line. That’s how GPON works and mostly people don’t have issues.

    Why do we need anything more than a 56k modem? It’s already way faster than my 9600 baud setup.

• Tandybaum@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I haven’t looked into point to point wireless in a few years. Seems like this could be a use. One person pays and then blasts that connection to the whole neighborhood.

  Otherwise there is zero residential need for these speeds.

  I hope the three customers they ever get will be enough. That’s $10,800 which is more than many even make.
