It's hard to do real service testing, unless you have a hookup at an isp
that runs their iperf3 server on a 10gbe+ nic. The web ones are meh, I
could only test most to around a gig or less, and somewhat unreliably even
on a 10gbe service. A few in speedtest we could throw a 10gbe server
against being in LA for more, but only get roughly under 2gbps max.
Using CL, I just know I see congestion issues with upstream peering even on
my lowly dsl here, but I imagine they probably oversubscribe the hell out
of the network as it is. Why I was wondering how the gig service holds up.
