While others across the industry battle it out over 10-gig claims, Google Fiber is looking to go bigger, plotting the rollout of a symmetrical 20-gig service for select residential and business cus | The service will use Nokia's 25G-PON gear and initially be available later this year as an invite-only product.
Oops, I actually know that but I got a little lost in the comment chain. I had just read the comment above yours talking about the 2gbps plan, hence the “half the time.” My ISP has also started offering 2gbps but still has a 1TB cap which means it’s possible to hit the cap in just over an hour which is pretty funny.
So one thing that a lot of people overlook is that even with a data cap the higher speeds is still more convenient if you consume the same amount of stuff. It isn’t as noticeable now as it was when speeds went up in the kilobyte ranges thought so many people won’t even see the difference especially if they don’t hit the cap.
That said, caps are bullshit since network congestion are caused by when people use it at the same tike, not because of the total amount per month.
