I have the 4Mbps 45GB GREEN plan.
As for the speed details I don't have much but it's around 3.5Mbps. During the free period it can go down to 1Mbps especially around 2am. But it comes back to normal rather quickly as far as I saw. Yesterday I was watching YouTube around 1am until 2:30 and all the videos were streaming in 720 to 1080p.
Important note: I don't suck the bandwidth dry during the free period as some people do, you might experience FUP if you do so. My big downloads during the free time are usually game updates for the PS4 which don't come out very frequently.
I don't know how you receive such speeds while playing. But my ping has been around 400-500 lately. I play CSGO, World of Warcraft, LoL, Dota2. It's the same in all of them. Sometimes my google ping is 42ms but in-game it's as big as 400-500 on European servers.
Whenever I call them they tell me ping from 300 to 500 is 'normal' (wtf).
If it's stable it's at 120-140 ms and it lags.
Guess which plan I'm using? DSL 16M - BLUE. And it's terrible so far.
Any idea how I can fix my ping with your private- public IP thingy? I didn't quite get the difference.
