Sorry, I fail to understand how is this a 1G link? It clearly says that you
have only 20Mbps uplink to the rest of the world (I guess that's what
"overseas" mean).
Granted, the cabling may be able to withstand a 1000Mbps throughput (for
whatever "local" network may be). But it's not the same thing as having a real
1G uplink, which would be much more expensive. Especially if it is symmetric.
Or have I misunderstood something here?
Btw, what part of the world are you in, geographically? That would probably
clear up my understanding of "overseas" and "local" accesses... :-)
Best, :-)
