I've yet to see a remote website that'll send me 1gbps continuously except a speed test.. and whilst it's nice to see big numbers on those, it isn't really justifying the cost.

Even things like microsoft and steam stuff throttle far lower than that (presumably because they don't want a million people trying to hit them for 1gbps constantly).

Once my minimum term is up on this link I can get a 1.6Gpbs one, but probably won't bother.
