Get a business class and you won't slow down... You will get priority over residential while in your ISPs network / back bone. But it'll cost u 3-4Xs more
Wrong. ONLY DSL and some parts of u verse use copper lines units still fiber to the DSLAM OR VRAD. Cable modems use coax... And true fiber runs fiber right to your house
However, I have a unique setup for a residence, and I PAY FOR IT
112x20Mbps docsus 3 cable modem. That's 14MB/s down and 2.5MB up. It's a business class TWC cable modem paired with a Twc business phone (it has its own modem). With the phone, they guarantee you low latency & jitter, and priority repair. Also priority bandwidth over residential while anywhere in the TWC network
So come prime time .. No slow downs
Residents can buy this package for 125$/month.. But no priority , data caps and throttling exist etc
I pay 359$/mo for my connection. ITS WORTH IT. Plus I can afford it. I also have an asus router/hub/AP with dual wan ports. So if the cable modem goes down, it switches to DSL. Or I can set it to load balance mode... And gain more speed. No point. Most sites won't let me hit 112Mbps. It's more for multiple family devices using ut at once so we don't slow down
It's funny... Pay 2-3Xs more and all those pesky restrictions go away
I hear ATT is testing 1Gbps fiber to home in Texas. It's useless. 300GB cap..you could hit that in a day. I DL 1-2 TB ok ph f data a month
1) you can ALWAYS bypass an ISO throttling Netflix, websites, and other places
2) data Capps/throttling can be solved by paying more fir business class (not all ISPs do this though)
3) most ISPs give business class bandwidth priority over residential. So u never slow during peak times unless the issue is out side their network
4) downside a 99$ 55x5 TWC cab,ex modem is 99$/month plus phone service. For business it's about 309$/month but with the above perks
The have the backbone bandwidth. What the LACK is LOCAL bandwidth to the DSLAMS/VRAD (ATT or other DSL companies ), nodes/Amps/hubs for cable modems ... Lastly lacking enough frame relay cloud bandwidth for fiber to home. THIS is where that don't want to pay

Re: What about total monthly allowance?
