has it ever reached 20mbps and how much are you paying. Which ISP is that

Answer 3

The speed you get from your ISP depends on how deep your pocket is.

you can get anything from 64Kbps all the way to 155Mbps.

if you purchase 1Mbps CIR you will get 1Mbps.  If you purchase an UPTO 1Mbps you may get 1Mbps but are not always going to get 1Mbps.

what about speed shaping on business hours

---

The above pricing is not shaped what you pay for is what you get.  So if you get a 1Mbps link it will always run at 1Mbps.  Thats the nice thing about dedicated internet vs shared.

the problem with our ISP is that they advertise dreams instead of realities
