Should be 1gbps asymmetric now, with a near future goal of 1gbps symmetric.
I'd be okay with 200mbps symmetric, with a future goal of 1gbps symmetric. More than ANYTHING, I'm tired of providers providing things like 1gbps down, 10mbps up. And then doing shit like "Here's you're 1gbps plan with a 1tb data cap!"
Worse, they do that crap for my business account. Great for the vpn to the office.
It's normal for businesses to pay for peak and total bandwidth. That's one of the reasons why they guarantee speed and availability and should be refunding you if they don't meet those.
