- ehPReth 9y agoNot sure I’d call 940/35Mbps gigabit (better providers use that to refer to 1/1Gbps — Charter’s marketing wank doesn’t sit too well :/)
- FireBeyond 9y agoComcast is at 1gbps/35mbps. What's the overhead of ACKs? It feels to me that you probably couldn't saturate the connection without getting buffer bloated by ACK traffic, at which point can it really be called 'gigabit' if it's not theoretically attainable?
- juliangoldsmith 9y agoACKs are TCP, not IP. They only claim 1gbps for IP traffic, not TCP.
