The major fiber alternative, AT&T's U-Verse, is available here, but apparently the techs are incompetent with the new service (one of their own reps even told me that lol), so I guess I will just stay where I am and not risk losing internet for 1+ months while they try to figure out what they messed up :P

I'm getting 2.57 mb/s on my wireless, not sure if that number would be faster on host computer. More than enough speed for me though.. can't complain.

No, it isn't Falken. I pay almost $60 / month for 5Mb/s download and 1Mb/s upload. This is cable connection. I could get fiber, but I have to pay $165 to get it installed, a bit more than I'm willing to at the moment, then I'd get 10/10 for $65 a month.

Even though Norway and Sweden are neighboring countries, prices and services are far apart. I live in one of the worlds most expensive countries though, everything costs more here :p
