Ponder: Is your available ISP speed restricted, through backdoor channels and red letters, to not overcome the throughput bandwidth of these devices?

Or, another way, is the maximum throughput of these monitoring setups limiting ISP maximum offered speeds in the countries that use them?

US, UK, Aus, Canada, the eyes, all have unusually low maximum consumer speeds vs. non implicated countries such as Japan, korea, even China, given the technology available today.

It's difficult to go lower than what Australia offers in terms of BW. In Australia, in 2016, you are among the privileged ones if you have like 6Mbps DL at home.
