Obviously you all get better speeds than that as the odds of everyone using their full whack at once are zero.
Same on the upstream just with smaller pipes, less people on each channel so more capacity for each customer. It's capacity per customer that broadband services are measured in when doing capacity planning.
Make sense?

Well, if TBB graphs are anything to go by, idle has dropped a fair bit, but there are peaks of latency increases, worse than before. But I'll give it a few weeks and see how it goes. It could just be a heavy downloader on my port. Apart from that, everything else feels the same.
And yes, it makes sense now.
