actually, you didn't. your numbers were false and misleading.

home users do not need redundant internet, so their speeds are entirely irrelevant.
your numbers are also wrong.
During Q2-Q3 2018, the average download speed over fixed broadband in the U.S. was 95.25 Mbps. Average upload speed was 32.88 Mbps.
no it doesn't.
having a gigabit connection doesn't mean non-stop downloading 24/7.
for many people, it means shorter download times for large items, such as os installers and updates.
nope.

the *slowest* speed verizon fios currently offers is 75 mbit and they are heavily advertising gigabit, with all sorts of promos.
2 doesn't invalidate anything.there are shitloads of routers out there, each of which has many different firmware versions.
every router i've seen with dual-wan (or quad for that matter) has some method of notifying the user.
there might be a router that does not, but i've not encountered it. not offering that would be a dumb mistake on the part of the manufacturer.
Oh good comeback. I post a link to statistics and you declare them false with no opposing statistics..
Oh yeah? Then f****ng explain this:
I'll concede my 2TB number was off. (The data shows they have caps as low as 7TB). But it was less off than your statement. You said no caps at all. BUT THEY HAVE CAPS. I've presented you with 3 pieces of evidence. Will you simply declare it to be false?
Here's one more:
That's not what I said. I said you CAN burn though your cap pretty damn fast. But as I've proven to you, Verizon has caps as low as 7TB for FiOS. Now we can do the math... At full speed, on a 1 gigabit connection, it would take you exactly 17 hours 6 minutes 12 seconds to blow through a 7TB cap. MATH - END - OF - STORY
Well, I gave you the stats and you go to ONE website that measures broadband speeds, ONLY OF THE PEOPLE THAT VISIT IT, and declare it authoritative for ALL situations. I've given you links to research data. Data that was sought and and collected ACTIVELY and not __passively_ as is done by Speedtest.net
See here:
Big businesses have gigabit connections. In most of the US (outside of cities) a 1gbit connection runs about $2,500/month. In some places it's $3,500/month. You think most small businesses are paying that? What the hell would a small business need a 1gbit connection for?
I have a gigabit connection because I own an ISP. I resell it. I certainly don't have a gigabit at home. I can't afford $2,500 a month for internet.
Here's a f****ng breakdown of every single state. Conclusion? 18.7mbps is AVERAGE. Do you know what the word average means?
What's your point? Nobody has it.
As of the end of 2016, Verizon said it had a total of 5.7 million FiOS internet connections. For the full year, Verizon added 235,000 FiOS broadband customers, down from 350,000 broadband subscribers added in 2015.
Assuming a constant adoption of 235,000 subs per year (even though data from Verizon itself, shows adoption to be slowing) we can extrapolate a total of slightly less than 6.7 million subscribers by the end of 2019.
That's nothing.. Coax provides internet to roughly 60,000,000 (10 times as many) subs. So your FiOS stats are both false (no caps) and irrelevant. FiOS usage is less than 10% of cable company provided connection.
Show me anything that says that notification is more prevalent than silent fail-over. I've given proof for everything I've said. I said "some" provide it. To back that up I mentioned MikroTik. One is some. You declare "most" with absolutely no data to back it up. Must be nice to know as much as God.
Here's a list of prices for Cox Business:
I quote the article: How many small businesses are there in the United States? 28 million. That?s correct: 28 million small businesses in the United States. Not impressed? To put this in perspective, there are 18,500 large companies in the US. That?s 28,000,000 versus 18,500. ========================================================================
18,500 large companies versus 28 FUCKING MILLION small businesses. Most businesses are SMALL.Now go look at those prices. How much do you figure the average business (a small one) is spending on internet?
A home user can (by your own words) get 1GB for something like $100/month. A business connection, of the same damn speed is more than
8x the cost and comes with a 3 year contract with heavy pre-termination penalties!Cox Business Internet - 1000 Up to 1000x35 Mbps $780.00/mo for 36 months
Do you think the average small business in the US is paying $800/month for internet?
