That sounds about right. I would expect to get my promised speeds the vast majority of the time.

Now if only we could get hard SLAs I would be really happy. (Max speed 99.9% of the month measured in seconds?)



I'm pretty sure I don't want to pay for an SLA.

I guess if you did somehow get one they wouldn't guarantee much of a connection.
