It is, in locations with consumer fiber. Had it at the last place I lived, and hands down it was the hardest thing to give up when we moved.

I have fiber in my basement and could book gbit. Upstream is still nerfed, currently I have 250mbits down, 50 up

Edit: disregard that, just checked with my ISP and apparently I have an old plan, and could book 1 gig symmetric. For thrice the cost, though

Cool, I wish we had that in Slovenia. Currently on 1000/100 fiber. 🥹
