My home connection uploads at 681mbit/s (just did the test over wifi) for 40 euros/months. At that price, I'd get 13tbit/s for 800k euros.

It's a bit surprising that you were not getting significantly better prices than individuals.



Price business pipes where they won’t cut you off for saturating that 24/7.

[edit] and that have good deliverability worldwide, no weird paths to other consumer IPs that intermittently fail to route or inexplicably have dial-up transfer speeds. And have anything like a real SLA.


I don't think they legally can in number of European jurisdictions. This isn't like Comcast overselling their copper cables - brand new fiber paid for by the EU comes with certain obligations.


Try uploading at that rate for a few months non-stop and see how long your residential ISP will continue doing business with you.


That can be taken out by a particularly unfortunate shovel or truck though, and isn’t sufficient to run a business on.


For 800k I would have 20000 different connections. This would allow me to survive many unfortunate shovels per month.
