OK, I get that. My point is at what point is a connection fast enough that NF won't serve you any faster? I get 101 download on speedtest but I've never downloaded an ISO file and had it download any faster than 5-6. The service on the other end has a say in how fast my downloads are. So my question is there some theoretical cap on the NF side that says anything over (arbitrary-number> is fast enough so clients are capped at that.

I'm on FIOS so I would not be surprised at all that VZ throttles the connection but on the other hand why cap it at ~50 and not at 5 or whatever? At 50 my connection is fast enough for me to watch full HD so it's not as if there turning me into a frustrated customer who decides cutting the cable is more hassle than it's worth...



It'll do more than 50 - http://i.imgur.com/14v10xr.png
