My primary connection is a symmetric 25 Mbit connection, but that is because I throttle myself on my router. Technically, I'm connected to fiber though that just got extended to 500 Mbits. It's not through an ISP or anything, but an office in an old industrial building where the equipment happens to be. I'm just directly tapped into it :) Not illegally or anything, but certainly not a formal contract or anything either.
At home, which I'm not at home most of the time, is a standard 25 Mbit residential connection provided by those hellbound scum-sucking mother fuckers at Comcast (may they all burn). I tunnel all my traffic back to the office before it goes out to the Internet so they can't violate my privacy constantly. Also, if I have a reallllly big data file that I downloaded to the office, but then transferred to flash drive and drove home, isn't the bandwidth dependent on how fast I can drive?
I think for most of us, we are moving across multiple networks during the day. Bandwidth depends upon where you physically are.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
