Before I worked for the government I worked for the CEO of Comcast/Xfinity in Philadelphia. Actually my first real professional job out of college was working at a Comcast call center. My parents ran a dial-up ISP (internet service provider) out of our house while I was in high school in the late 90's / early 2000's.
With all that said, I envy your speed and know what its like. In high school I got to play games and download crap on our T1 backbone line while my friends were on 28.8k or 56k modems, I literally got to download things x100 faster then them and never had online lag. When I worked for Comcast, eventually for the CEO, I truly learned and understand how modern day huge ISP's work. I can also tell you, there definitely is a lot of type of data throttling that occurs at a corporate level. I was fortunate that my degree is in IT so I understood some of the more technical stuff that came across the Presidents Office, and I was amazed at some of the shit huge companies can get away with.
I am jealous of your speed though, that kind of speed is not really available in the USA, for a regular home user, without spending insane amounts of money. Business can get services at those speeds for relatively reasonable costs, but not home end-users like myself. Enjoy those fast speeds! |
