Who the fuck cares about 10Gbit/s? With data caps, there is nothing I am downloading on a mobile device that is perceptibly faster than downloading it at 1/1000 of that speed
I have 8/8 gbps with no caps... quantum fiber (lumen, CenturyLink). The speed is amazing.
What's "quantum" about it?
Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, but you only know when you check and go to use it.
Its cost
$185? It's not that expensive for 8/8 IMO... 1gig cable is like $300
Yeah, that's not bad. I pay $70 for just 1/1, so...
That's the name of the company. https://www.quantumfiber.com/ It's owned/operated by Lumen/Centurylink.
The electrons.
fibers carry light particles I guess
Holy shit I thought data caps died in the mid 2000s. Why is the US allowing ISPs get away with this nonsense?
Because we apparently love A-B testing our government.
The point is for dense areas, so theres enough bandwidth to share
No one needs 100Mbps on their mobile data 99% of the time.
10th generation, not 10gbps download speed.
