My ISP keeps on trying to get me to upgrade to "up to" 100 Mbps service. What in the world do I need that kind of bandwidth for except to stream videos? Shouldn't they disclose that if I upgrade I can't actually use the bandwidth unless the video provider pays them too?
- Spivak 9y agoThat does seem to be a trivial point. You're not going to get 100Mbps unless the entire path between the endpoints can push that speed. You're getting a 100Mbps connection to the edge of their network and they have peering agreements, what else should they be doing?
- FireBeyond 9y agoEh, that's getting less and less of an issue. My nominal 105/20 internet connection from Comcast Business rarely pushes less than 80mbps download speeds, and from any major provider, CDN, regularly hits and sustains 120mbps.
