I have gigabit Google "fiber" (really webpass which uses point to point microwave links). It's very hard for to max out the bandwidth in practice. Really the main benefit is the extremely low latency (e.g. ping to my workstation on campus 7 miles away from my home workstation is 2-3 ms).
- searealist 4y agoI think you mean ms.
- cozzyd 4y agoYes thank you, fixed.... Phone autocorrect being brilliant as usual.
- oceanplexian 4y agoI guess it depends what you do. I download 150Gb games on Steam on the regular, and can easily max out 1Gbps. Automated backups can easily max out the link in the other direction.
- cozzyd 4y agoWill Steam actually download at more than 1 Gbps? (I mostly play games on an Xbox, and there the maximum download speed is less than 1 Gbps...). Of course I also don't have any devices with 2.5G or 10G ethernet :)
