Plus, your internet packets get de-prioritized behind phone and TV on the consumer internet plans. During peak usage hours, you won't even reach those high download speeds.
I recently got a 75/15 package with Comcast Business for $150 monthly. The guaranteed bandwidth seems to be worth it.
- nearengine 9y agoI don't think this is correct. From what I understand about DOCSIS, the video-related channels and Internet-related channels are completely separate frequency ranges on the coax line. The reason your bandwidth is reduced during peak usage hours is because you're sharing something like a 10gbps fiber line with hundreds of other people.

Yes, that's why they can use band pass filters to enable and disable specific services and packages. i.e., specialty channels that are part of a premium package are grouped together in certain frequency ranges, and they use equipment to block or allow signals at varying frequencies on each consumer connection.
