It's not true 10Gbit. It's only 10Gbit to some pole and then it is shared. Besides their customer service is horrendous.

  > It's not true 10Gbit. It's only 10Gbit to some pole and then it is shared. As opposed to a dedicated direct 10 gigabit line to every other internet device? Everything is always shared unless you request a dedicated circuit between a given set of points. Sometimes the over subscription ratio is just shit, which is a real thing to complain about.

    In Switzerland other fiber providers (such as Init7) have a dedicated physical fiber strand to your premises and a dedicated 1Gbit port on the other side. Salt uses 10G-PON, which as I understand it splits a single 10Gbit port. Salt's configured to split it 64 ways. It's possible other providers are oversubscribed upstream but I haven't personally experienced any congestion issues with Init7, even over long distances (e.g. Zurich to Fremont, CA).

      All ISPs are at the edge of being oversubscribed. If not they're either commercially incompetent or in the hype stage of a marketing cycle (omg check this ISP I can download 24/7 at full speed)

    The true "TH" Of FTTH is usually not shared. At least in my country it isn't.
