Totally agree. The issue is Frontier seems to have lied their ass off about speeds that wouldn’t ever be possible over POTS. And I’ll concede that oversub for DIA is totally different. Surely it’s still possible somewhere but ever less and less likely considering how much larger a 1Gbps fiber pipe is a 56k connection to 15k people at once. But for actual broadband...

Speed boost and overprovisioning are tricks to please customers who are willing to accept “lots of people are online tonight so it’s slow”.
