You guys with Time Warner/Brighthouse those are some good speeds. Do you actually get those speeds though? Back when I had Brighthouse I payed for 40 Mb/s but rarely got better than 10Mb/s if I was actually doing anything like downloading. They also throttled the hell out of Youtube and anything over 480p was basically unwatchable. I'm on Fi0s now and while I pay for the same speed I actually get that speed 100% of the time.

:huh: what on earth do you need with that kind of speed? lol. Are you hosting servers or providing internet? I'm just curious. The average user doesn't even need a connection like mine, I pay for 30mb down x 5mb up and that's overkill for any residential service. I was

My speeds are pretty consistent on BrightHouse, but I live in a lower-middle-class area where few of my neighbors pay for these speeds, so there isn't a lot of bandwidth competition to my local hub.

Where I lived Brighthouse (used to be Time Warner, not sure if they're sort of the same company?) was pretty terrible. A lot of network downtime and while it would test at the speeds I was paying for it would never reach them on actual downloads from legit software updates and downloads to things like usenet. Switching to Verizon was like night and day.

I'm sure I'm stating the obvious here, but while my service provider may be giving me 30 down, and I get those speeds... the bandwidth from the place I'm downloading from may not have that bandwidth available... in other words i can only go as fast as the site I'm downloading from. Also there's at least a dozen switches and hubs your going

Yeah I'm well aware of that but with Brighthouse I NEVER could max out my bandwidth. The closest I ever could get was about 1/4. Usenet is always the real easy thing to compare since it should in theory use all your bandwidth (if you're paying for a decent provider). With Brighthouse I'd never get much over 1 MB/s and even then it varied depending on time of day. With Verizon I always get 4.2 MB/s, never any less.

The average user doesn't even need a connection like mine, I pay for 30mb down x 5mb up and that's overkill for any residential service. I was paying for a 20x2 connection and only upgraded for the 5 up for gaming purposes (for some reason, the latency on a 5 up connection is lower than on a 2 up) But yea, why so much bandwidth? .
Why not?... Ok seriously..I download a lot of stuff, but beyond that my ISP started capping bandwidth. I run a tech support business from home- lots of remote support, lots of various files being downloaded. I need to be able to run VoIP, Remote Desktop support, while grabbing an ISO of an operating system in under 5 min. or update a machine with 2 years worth of updates in under an hour. Once I reach my data cap of .5 terabytes every month, I can't afford productivity to be cut my a standard connection being throttled. Or... It could just be for....porn..and WoW! http://youtu.be/YRgNOyCnbqg
