“5 Gig will make it easier to upload and download simultaneously, no matter the file size. And 8 Gig will make sure that everything you are doing online is happening in near real-time (without jitter and with low latency).” We had the 1 gig – in 2010 – and it costs $70/month then the 2 Gig in 2020 costing about $100/month, and now faster 5 and 8 Gig services.
According to the brand, the released Gig services are specifically for heavy internet users.” This includes “creative professionals, people working in the cloud or with large data, households with large shared internet demands.” For reference, the 2 Gig from 2020 was made for internet gamers – gamers could still try out this service.

For those who work on the cloud or in real-time, like with financial transactions, it’s helpful to know there’s less lag between pushing send and making something happen. 5 and 8 Gig services can help these customers take on whatever they need online and be ready for whatever is coming next.”
