I'm on cable internet... minimum guaranteed 12500kbps, and I was seeing DL rates up to 1.8G/s.
I'd be curious to know where you are and what provider guarantees a minimum service.
I may have phrased that poorly... My ISP states that I have a 12500kbps up and 128kbps down. In reality they give me more. On a semi regular basis I see the top end of both up and down speeds increasing. I started out with 10000kbps and they slowly/incrementally bumped me (unofficially) to 12500. Then months later they rolled out an advertising campaign announcing that they were providing 12500 to everyone. Since then my top end download speed is slowly edging towards 20000kbps, and I expect to see an announcement sometime to the effect that they are officially offering 20000kbps.
So what I meant by stating a minimum of 12500 is simply that they advertise that's what you get, but in reality I get more.
The ISP is Casema (cable internet) in the Netherlands.
Thanks. My point was that there is not one provider in the USA that will guarantee any speed, cable or dsl. All they tell you is you can get 'up to' NNNN Mb.
