In Kyiv I have a pretty comfortable gigabit connection (not optical fiber, though I am thinking about switching to it) at 350 UAH (around 8 Euro) a month. The important to me part is that connection persists for 4-5 hours even during power cuts, which were quite frequent last summer.
I don’t use mobile data often, so my experience with that will not be representative of large majority of Ukrainian users.
Should be both up and down, but I’m not uploading much so I can’t attest to the accuracy of those claims. Fibre, I think, is comparable in cost (8-9 euro per month), with the added one-time cost of installing the whole thing. But also, fibre, from what I’ve heard, doesn’t need external power supply at all, provided I can power my router with a powerbank or generator.
That said, when comparing costs, you also gotta compare the incomes - I earn about 1200 USD/1150 EUR a month after taxes (all paid in UAH), which is probably a lot lower than you’d get for an office or IT job in western countries.

Is that gigabit up and down? What would fibre cost? Just curious as I feel like I get a decent deal (in US terms).
