Re: Question and new info
Oh look, a bunch of bullshit Coach doesn't need to know because it'll never be something relevant to something he needs to know.

Re: Question and new info
It's completely relevant... We're talking about bandwidth throughput, caps, and meters... why would he not be interested in knowing what his connection is capable of?

Both of the above statements are not quite 100% correct. Gig-certified Cat5e can do 1Gbps, and Cat6 can do 10gbps but it was designed for 1Gbps initially.
Additionally, if you have a dual Gigabit NIC setup, you could potentially throw out 2GBPS up/down if they are bridged to the same connection. It depends if you use modems that are low docsis version (ie: 1.0) as compared to the newer standard (docsis 3.0). Docsis 3.0 will allow multiple streams up/down.
There are several load-balancing methods out there that can utilize two connections as one, but none of them actually achieve the full throughput. Things like IEE 802.3AD (static Link Aggregation and Link Aggregation Control Protocol) will help, but the software that'll let you configure something like that in Windows is going to be janky -- there are very few applications out there that do it that actually work properly. He'd also have to have a router that supported that function, which would cost him quite a bit of money. Most home routers wouldn't do it. The software-only shit with no switch- or router-side configuration would likely achieve even even less than something like 802.3AD LAG/LACP, even though LAG/LACP don't use true load balancing algorithms.
