I could saturate it in 24 hours LMAO
What do you mean?
Couldn't you saturate it instantly? It's saturated exactly while you're using that speed and when you stop, it's not saturated anymore
On paper, yes
But in the real world there's very little out there that is capable and/or will allow you to download/upload something at a full 8Gbps
So, to actually saturate that pipe in a real world scenario id undoubtedly need to get multiple streams of something going, probably torrents or Usenet, and that'll take me some time lol
Oh I'd just throw in a bunch of big freeleech torrents and it'd take me 3 minutes to achieve saturation. The upkeep might be difficult though
I can get 10gbit from my ISP, it's just not worth the extra cost compared to my 1gbit which is perfectly fine.
