If you have the 2gig plan you would see around 2400/2400. If you have the 300Mbps the overprovision will give you about 360/360. If you have a 1Gig connection and you have the BGW320-500/505 and you have a device connected to the one and only 5Gig port on the BGW320 and that device has a 2.5G/5G/10G NIC you will get about 1200Mbps down and about 1100 up. ![]() However, you can only access that "overprovision" in certain hardware situations. So, for some the (throttle mechanism seems to uncap ) the traffic speed policing seems to fail."ĪT&T does traffic shaping and profile configurations like any other ISP that sets the max throughput the customer can get. "Paradoxically, there has been many Speedtests that show 920+Mbps downloads. I think you're referring to the above linked behavior, though. Something like leaving speed tests with full priority, but throttling Youtube so videos don't play in as high a quality as they should. You're getting some responses because the word "throttling" tends to be associated with a tactic of deprioritizing select traffic such that you don't necessarily get what you're paying for, because they've oversold things too much. A lot of power users have the 1gbps tier, so they aren't able to see this issue. It's a strange "problem" that several people have seen on the lower tiers, nobody seems to have figured out what the exact conditions are that that allow for speeds far greater than the tier. There's some discussion here about the intermittent "uncapping" that seems to happen on some speed tests. I think the traffic shaping happens in the OLT/Line card. So, again, does anyone know how they limit the amount of data that the customer gets? Is there layer 2 pacing, layer 3? Or something different? This will give me insight into why it seems not to enforce the speed limits at times. (Since I don't know the technical means, terms like 'speed' are just too general.) I've done an internet search for how they limit the speed, but I come up empty. So, for some the ( throttle mechanism seems to uncap ) the traffic speed policing seems to fail. Paradoxically, there has been many Speedtests that show 920+Mbps downloads. It does appear they over-provision the data by around 25% for I can routinely get 630Mbps on speed test. My question is, how does AT&T control the amount of data coming into the customer's home? I know it's external to the RGW. This 1Gb Ethernet connection stays the same speed, day and night. From the ONT there is a 1Gbps ethernet connection. ![]() Of course, into my home runs a GPON fiber connection to the ONT. I currently have (new customer) AT&T Fiber at the 500/500Mbps level.
