"""""""""""gigabit"""""""""""""

Now if only FiOS didn't have shit peering to youtube.

I have 900mbps+ download bandwidth yet I can't fucking stream 1080p60 or 1440p/4k youtube without buffering during evening hours.

If I hop on a VPN though it no longer buffers.

Over in Australia we are going through something similar to op, but a bit more depressing.
With our new nbn we get fibre to the node and copper the rest of the way. ISPs would advertise up to 25mbps connections but people would regulary get like 1-5mbps at any given time. This was a combination of shitty copper cables that were used for telephones and haven't been upgraded and ISPs not buying enough bandwidth on the fibre network to handle all the customers, so at peak time you would be sharing your 25mbps bandwidth with 2-10 other households.

Fortunately now the ISPs have to advertise typical speeds, can't boldly advertise max speeds and are now refunding customers based on their theoretical max speed, determined by their connection strength over copper and the ISPs bandwidth on the fibre.

we must be on the same switch, my 1080p videos take forever to buffer

yeah, it's just youtube that's shit, at the same time youtube is buffering I can open up 4k netflix without any issue.

And if I hop through a VPN in new york my routing changes and suddenly youtube stops having issues.

It's obviously local congestion but verizon doesn't give a fuck.
