content: Your probably live in an area where the node isn't saturated and the general condition of the network is up to the job of delivering more than what you and your neighbors are paying for. I'm in the odd position of being one of only about a dozen or two users on my node so my service is really good but I know people in other areas on the ISP service that just never get near their speed limit and have service interruptions and issues once or twice a month because of the contention ratio on the node. If you don't know what a node is its just a network node where the cable from your neighbors and your modems hooks into your ISP's infrastructure. You might have heard the term "fiber to then node" before, its a kind of bait and switch thing since the node can be hooked into the wider network via fiber optics but that doesn't mean the node itself or even the copper cables coming from the node can handle what the ISP is selling.  It all depends on your ISP's level of investment in your area, a lot of them just don't even have fiber to the node and are relying  on copper cable tech evolved from the 1980s or 90s to deliver everything.
