Data caps? Does it really offer that speed at peak times though? Are oversubscription of backhaul infrastructure disclosed?

In semi-rural hill country TX, 2.5 Gbps symmetric from an internet co-op is $90 USD/month without data caps.



> Data caps?

I'm sorry, is this some American problem I'm too European to understand?


Why the identity bashing? Data caps exist in many countries including Australia.


It keeps that speed at peak times without any issues, low pings, fast download speeds. With such internet connection the server is bottleneck, so if I download Linux distro I often choose torrent download option. There is no official data caps too.


Nice. Any throttling noticed? Or is it such surplus and predictable bandwidth that there's not really any slowness or limitations?


I have never noticed throttling, however I am not a "heavy user", just an average one.
