What sort of 'real world' download speed can one get on the 2Mbps and 4Mbps plans respectively? Enough to watch 1080HD Youtube and 4k Netflix?
On the 2 mbps plan you get around 1.75~ mbps speed and on the 4mbps speed you get around 3.75 or something like that it never reaches 2 or 4 mbps.
And actually I do think the 4mbps plan would fix the ping a little bit. I have the 2 mbps unlimited plan now and I am not really happy since ping is inconsistent most of the times if there is someone else using the internet ( not YouTube or anything just regular usage) it be around 70 ping then suddenly jumps to around 150ms. As for watching videos and YouTube, on my 2 mbps plan I am able to watch YouTube vids at 480p without any buffers and 720p vids on my Ethernet cable connected computer. I am switching to the open speed 150 gb next month but i do think that the 4mbps unlimited plan would make your ping more consistent or better. And do ask them to turn interleaving off so you would get lower pings but that might affect your speed.( it didn't affect mine but there is a possibility)
