By the way, something is misconfigured on your system. The above is
what was below your name, and no tearline/tosser line/origin line
showing.

Wired (Ethernet) from a fiber converter/switch in the basement, 500/500 Mbps.

I'd like it if my ISP offered a 500gb speed tier. It's either 300 megabit or gigabit (and they have some tiers lower than 300 too). I'm currently using their 300 megabit tier. But I suppose going from 300 to 500 wouldn't be much of a difference; I just think it would be nice to have more tiers so that the difference in price isn't so great.

I currently have fiber internet at 300 megabit (and since it's fiber, that's the same speed for both download & upload). My BBS is on a dedicated PC that's connected via ethernet.

I'd like it if my ISP offered a 500gb speed tier. It's either 300
megabit or gigabit (and they have some tiers lower than 300 too). I'm currently using their 300 megabit tier. But I suppose going from 300

I have a feeling that the 500mb band will be phased out in favour of having 1gb/2.5gb and upwards

I have 100 down and 30 up, as far as I remember. Quite old fashioned, I know!

There is fiber in my area but my building is not wired for it so it is not an option for me.

The speed has never been an issue though and everthing moves along as you'd expect.
