Actually I was told correctly. As a customer, they also send me flyers asking if I want to upgrade to 1 gigabit per second. The flyers actually started long after I knew I could get 1 gigabit per second. A bit of a time lag between engineering and marketing. I have seen this before at a previous home where I had fiber based IPTV and internet access long before the marketing people were pushing it. The webpages are the worst place to look as they aren't current or are just wrong. First or second level tech support is where the real knowledge is. By the way, "GB" is shorthand for "gigabyte" (1024 ^3 bytes). Bandwidths for internet service providers are generally specified in terms of nominal gigabits per second. There are 8 bits to a byte so quoting in units of "GB" means you are off by a factor of 8. Full disclosure: I studied Computer Science in Graduate School.

I did my research first). Maybe you should report this to the senior watch?
Here are the screenshots as my proof. I went to the industry standard speediest.net for the numbers. I've have multiple companies for internet service in my life and all the techs go here to check. I also went to the CenturyLink website and checked my zip code.

Doubt no one will either admit they are wrong, or prove me wrong. Misinformation seems to be easy to cover up with silence or misleading attacks. Maybe someone was right but that is for another forum. (this post is NOT POLITICAL in any way) Oh, and I was wrong when I said 10mb, its 100mb max. |
