How do ISP’s change internet speeds?

1.49K views

Let’s say I have a 100mbps internet connection. I call the ISP and pay extra for a 200 mbps connection, and it gets faster with no new hardware. Does someone turn a knob somewhere?
Thanks.

It’s literally just a setting.
Back in dsl times, your max speed could depend on a lot of things. I would *always* turn up the speed to max stable speed for our customers, no matter their plan.
With fiber, it’s just a setting. Either “check this box for this speed”, or just configure it on your own.
