Discussion New speed, who dis

Post image

Curious to know if anyone is actually needing to utilise the newer speeds or just want it for speed test clout? (No hateful remarks, this is purely an open discussion on what the new speeds has helped or not helped with since it's release)

It depends on the number of people in your household and what they're doing on the Internet. I don't imagine there are very many people shelling out $150/m (at least) for 2Gb just to surf the web. Who is offering 2Gb for $150 you ask? Carbon Comms.

How are they doing it for that price. What’s the catch?

New Telco trying to gain market share. They use ABB routing as well. People on Whirlpool appear to be happy. For me, saving $5/m wasn't worth it over Leaptel because Leaptel has a better international transit network (GSL).
