I don't get how the upload speed teams? I thought speedtest.net was a single thread speed test, so how's it increasing upload speed?

I downloaded off usenet at 222Mbps but that's with 30-40 odd connections going out across two connections.

The good thing about having cable and fttc is that you get a gold level of resilience. The coax comes in from a different area of the house than copper, it's on two completely separate networks. So it's highly unlikely you will be without both connections outside of natural disaster or a wide power outage.

Businesses pay a lot for that and us home users get it for cheap!
