Gigabit?

True in a way, but since you can switch it when you want without any limitations on that in order to get whatever speed you want when you need it, you are effectively paying for 1000 both ways.

But not simultaneously. That is where they charge more. If you want true symmetrical gigabit, they likely offer that at a premium. The vast majority don't need it, so it's great that they potentially have the option. 

 

As an aside, I wish isp's offered a more fluid service where you tell them what bandwidth you want and pay accordingly. I don't stream or make videos. So my upload is way underutilized, would be nice to not pay for it and instead put that towards the DL side.
