(out of interest)

I can have 1000Gb if I choose to pay
for that but choose to pay for 50Gb

The price difference does not usually justify the speed once you pass
a certain point.* Sending an email will take .01 seconds instead of
.001. For most of us the difference is negligible for everyday use.


It isnt the speed of sending email that matters, its uploading
videos, backups to the cloud etc that matters speed wise.


Upload speeds are always slower.


Upload speeds tend to be slower than download on cable systems, DSL, and
dial-up. Fiber systems tend to be symmetrical - same speed in both
directions.

Just click "send" and go to bed. We
did that in the old days downloading a file with a 1200 baud modem. For
most of us, that is done once a week or so, not five times a day. Is it
worth an extra $25 to $75 a month for it?
