Fiber 500
Hello I need some clarification. I’m calling frontier because we’ve been having issues with our download speeds being 10mbps when downloading games.
When I called frontier the agent told me that we’re capped at 500mbps for the whole day and we’ve already reached that with our downloads even though I explained to him I only have one computer on; we have multiple devices but they are all powered off. They are also trying to say a fully shut off device still takes from WiFi even though everything I read says it doesn’t.
I’m super confused because we used to have AT&T fiber when we lived somewhere else and we NEVER had these issues which just rolls back around to their agents saying we need to upgrade our internet and pay an extra 100 dollars to download a 20GB update that is STILL downloading after 6 hours.
This agent is telling me to check the internet to get clarification of a daily mbps limit that is capped that we’ve already used but I can’t find anything that states that download speeds are capped per day and their website doesn’t say that either.
I currently again only have one device powered on and downloading and it’s at 60MBPS. Can someone explain to me why we don’t get our 500 in a way for someone who kind of understands technology but doesn’t at the same time…?
Update: thank you to all who replied this has really helped me with some of my confusion on internet lingo. To add we’re always Ethernet connected because we’re a pretty big gaming household so WiFi just wouldn’t work for us.
