Pretty much spot on for me. 2gig/1gig fiber internet and I got 1.95 Gbps/960 Mbps


Wow that’s fast.

Genuine question: what’s it like having internet that fast?

Because I get 40-50Mbps down and ~16 Mbps down on that tool, and I have fibre to the property (yay, Australia) and I’m so curious to know what’s it like to have a connection that’s actually good.


I’ve ridden a 10g connection to the Internet and the main difference is that big downloads/uploads are near instant. For regular browsing it’s not that noticeable unless it’s also super low latency.


I have 500 Mpbs, and the only noticeable difference versus a connection like yours is that you can download a Ubuntu ISO or a 1080p movie 1-2 minute. That's about it.
