    Fiber Internet. Synchronous gigabit up and down with no datacaps is a must. My ping in fps games is like 9 ms and it’s amazing. My homelab uses a bunch of data each month and as someone who’s chronically online it’s been such an awesome luxury after growing up with crummy dialup and DSL

      Also picking an ISP that actually has a reliable connection even if everything else about their service sucks, including the price.

      I wish I could get symmetrical gigabit. I’m stuck with Comcrap: gigabit down, 40 MBPS up with a datacap. My apartment complex has a deal with Comcrap, even though they just installed fiber down the street from us.

        AT&T bogged down my neighborhood for 6 months running fiber and I can finally have it, I just have to sell my house and move across the street because the 16 houses on this side are just a gap too far.
