With that logic why does it even have a gigabit uplink, after all three are still people out there that are not "hitting their 100Mbit/s" yet?

- I_Am_Nous 3y agoIf we're being arbitrary who cares if it has fast Ethernet? 10 megabit is enough to stream Netflix. Perhaps putting it another way will help -- according to the FCC's most recently release Internet reports[1], only 13% of subscribers have at least 940 mbps down. However, 57% are at least 100 mbps, but less than 940 mbps. There's a juicer market segment for gig and below than there is for above gig. Increasing the prices to attract 13% of the market isn't terribly worth it in this case. 1. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-395960A1.pdf https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-395960A1.pdf
- vel0city 3y agoThere's a ton of households with >100Mbit home internet. There's pretty few with >1Gbit even available, even fewer actually subscribed.
