Dedicated Internet access is a thing, but it's expensive; and I'd argue that even that is oversubscribed if you go far enough up the chain.
- adriancr 2y agoSure, ISP can oversubscribe as much as they want. As long as they make a fair guess and I get my bandwidth whenever I want, all is good. That seems to be the case right now. Dedicated internet access is a different thing, I agree, it also provides different guarantees, support, etc.

The only way to get internet access that’s not oversubscribed is by renting (or pulling your own) layer 0. By that I mean either renting a wavelength between certain PoPs or just pulling your own fiber.
