The standard service is 1gbps, there is a 5x more expensive 10gig service. Neither one is "local loop speed", but they also do design the service with expected overcommit. I suspect most of the contention is going to be inbound though, so if I'm serving something to the local community there hopefully will be plenty of bandwidth out of my neighborhood.
- floatingatoll 6y agoFor 1gbps service, the question would be: Does either the 'modem' linking your home up to the fiber service, or the service network itself, introduce significant high-latency buffering when capacity is exceeded either at your router or at their router? If the answer is "yes, we introduce significant latency to artificially boost throughput when network capacity is exceeded in either direction", then their 1mbps service is no better than Comcast and is not attractive as a solution to the latency issues of classical providers, and I may as well stick with my 50/5 shaped connection instead of their 1000/1000 connection.
