Monroeville, PA | I imagine that this is the same thing as we were seeing when FiOS first premiered. The pipe at the end is big enough, but the routing between your house and ANY server isn't good enough to support the whole line. |

Speeds like this are only good if you are doing major file transfers(or BitTorrent activity) OR have a residence with a 1/2 dozen people all trying to watch HD movies at the same time. For web browsing it means nothing over what the average cable customer is getting.

even if you had 6 people watching Netflix( which only allows 2 devices at a time by the way ) at 4800 kbps that would be just under 29 Mbps. Even if you had double that for overhead that's 58 Mbps. 700 Mbps is overkill at this point. But they're ready for 20 years from now. |

Re: what happened.... Didnt you see the asterisk? "Up to 1Gbps" hahaha
Wow. 600 Mbps, who gives a crap really except the 1% of computer / Torrent nerds.
They all might as well post "Up to 1 Pbps" with a fiber system, because it IS possible with equipment swaps in the future.
Id also like to see that speedtest run to a server in Florida, not Kansas City. |

With that kind of bandwidth, you could do a lot of telecommuting..

I pay over $70 for 25/2.5 so yes, it would be nice to get a boatload of more speed for the same price.
But then again of course you have to come in with the opposing view everytime. Nice work. |

Re: 'I'm Probably Not Going to Leave the House,' For most people it's not really an option no matter what kind of internet speed you have. |
