You're paying a lot of money for a gigabit connection and you don't get full speed. You are apparently happy about that, I'm afraid I don't follow.

- scarface74 8y agoYou mean 940Mbps up and down isn’t “full speed”? So did you sneak into almost any room in my gigabit wired house and do a speed test? I have a wired computer in my office and two 4K AppleTVs and they all report 900Mbps+ up and down. My son’s wired PS4 reports around 600Mbps. I also bet that AT&T won’t abandon my neighborhood and become uninterested like Google does for basically everything in three years.
- heavenlyblue 8y agoDo they keep that speed 24/7?
- scarface74 8y agoI am not running speed test 24/7. I can definitely say my internet speed has never been the bottleneck. The few times that I have noticed getting a consistent drop to only 600Mbps, I just rebooted my router. Are you saying that they’re are ISPs that never oversubscribe their lines anywhere along the route?
- rayiner 8y agoWith headers, 940 mbps is about the maximum for gigabit Ethernet: https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-howto/33095-how-to-find-the-best-router-for-gigabit-internet https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-howto/33095-ho.... And of course, Google Fiber like AT&T is an oversubscribed consumer level connection. Each use shares a 2.4 gigabit up/1.2 gigabit down GPON with some number (typically 16) other users.
