Coool. That means you can ask for a quote for 1.25Gbps which they'll likely have to deliver using 10Gig equipment at both ends and then *synthetically* cap, which will likely have appreciably lower overhead than running 1 gig through 1 gig PHYs :D

Yes I'd imagine they are thinking 10 gigs split among a handful (5?) of people to give 3gig effective after contention.

Would take a 24 month contract though so practically I'm just going to sit tight on my 1gig
