*20Gbps to your home from their node.
However, you never upgraded your computer beyond a 1Gbps network connection, the cross connect down the line is limited to less than 10Gbps, the server you want to access throttles you to 100Mbps max, you have 100+ ms ping times.
Unless you have 20+ devices in your house all trying to pull 1Gbps simultaneously, it’s a bit of a marketing stunt. There may be some edge cases, but even 4K streaming is only 25-50Mbps, so you could run 5 devices and be fine.
What I’d love to see is guaranteed latency and QoS settings that ensure I’ll never be throttled during any period rather than more bandwidth.
