I pay for 900 megabits and get 20. Upload, of course.
None of the other plans even offer upload speeds this high - so not only does paying for 900 get you only 20, but to get only 20 you have to pay for 900. That's nuts.
- ufocia 3y agoYou're most likely not paying for 900. That's just marketing talking. That's not committed bandwidth. Come to think of it, the asymmetry is probably a way to exploit transit fees.

I do get around 900 megabits of download on real actual workloads like downloading from Steam (over 100 MB/s). I believe there's absolutely no uptime commitment though, and they do commonly shut off my internet access for like 5 minutes at 4am, presumably to install some sort of unwanted update on the router that I don't own, because if I try to install a router I do own, they cut the line after a few days of usage. in contrast, I get about 24 megabits of real-world upload speed. That ratio is disgusting. (DL:UL 35+:1)
