What's the contention like do you actually get 1Gb sustained or is that just the syc speed.

BTW my BB plus phone is $30 a month in the UK VDSL via local loop unbundling.

I have Centurylink 1Gbps fiber, and I get 1Gbps up and down sustained. The installer said that my neighborhood had a 10Gbps connection shared between 30 houses.

Just have to hope not all 30 take up the service :-)

Are you actually willing to pay for a service that doesn't oversubscribe? 10 Gbps for 30 houses seems reasonable, as not all of them will be using the service at full speed at any given time.

If you wanted 30 Gbps for 30 houses, then you'd have to pay triple. For something that you wouldn't even notice because you were probably getting 1 Gbps when you actually needed it.

With that contention 30:1 that's less than my guaranteed 35-38 MBS on VDSL (Vodaphone business) and I could get 70Mbs for an extra tenner.
