In Reply to: Wow - did you intentionally get that kind of service? posted by Chris from Lafayette on October 2, 2024 at 16:16:36:
we used a local cable provider and got 95/20. Over a year ago, AT&T brought fiber to our small college town and I jumped on the opportunity. Ironically, it is less expensive ($60/mo) than the slower approach it replaced.Have no idea why one is faster than the other. Generally speaking fiber is equally bi-directional in speed. Maybe it has to do with a somewhat older Cisco RV320 VPN router I use that was provided by my former employer years ago. Upload speed is especially useful for video conferencing (Zoom, Teams, GotoMeeting, etc.) where wifey benefits from occasional use at home. Wish I had that capability long ago when I was constantly doing software demos and training!
Like the processing power of my Mac Mini (200x Cray 2), I'm good with the performance and really don't find any useful need for more. :)
