That can't be considered fibre than can it? Fibre is generally 1gup/down atleast in my city.

Fibre is just the medium of transmission, the ISPs can throttle it however they want.

I saw the actual fiber spools they rolled out. It's a fiberoptic cable. I just live out in the country and the other option is LTE4. The DSL company basically quit selling it, and it was slower than LTE4.
