Searching through the FAQ's 10 Mbps symmetric at all times across the Gigaclear network is guarenteed.
Yes, SS, from their FAQ...
Every customer guaranteed a minimum service level of 10 Mbps symmetric at all times across the Gigaclear network. Higher guaranteed minimum speeds can be purchased. Customers can burst over their guaranteed minimum at up to 1Gbps.
...yes, that's heaps more useful and more honest than anything I've seen from other ISPs. All the same, it's a shame that the headline implies 'gigabit' , whereas the (reliable) reality turns out to be 100 times less.
I understand all the good technical reasons behind that 10Mbit guarantee, but I suspect the population at large won't understand it, and the press reports certainly won't. People will see 'gigabit' and expect 'gigabit', whenever they want it.
Also, I see no mention of data allowances or FUPs. Clearly, to be able to make any sensible (or even occasional) use of gigabit speeds, a generous allowance would be needed. Rutland's existing 'home' offering seem to offer a 25GB monthly allowance, which I don't think would be nearly enough for a gigabit service...
All the same, it does look quite promising to me, good find, Walter.
