      What does “will get upgraded” mean here. I have google fiber on the 1gig plan. I pay $70 a month and they email nearly weekly asking if I’ll upgrade to the 2gig for $100. 1gig is plenty for me but if I can take 20gig for $70 I guess I’ll take the upgrade.

        20 gbps is going to require most people to spend significant cash for new networking hardware. These days most consumer hardware tops out at 2.5 gbps.

          I have a custom built opnsense firewall… I can only handle ~15Gbps with ids/ips active… that was a $2500 server build to do.
