I'll bet if you actually use it 24/7 they will throttle/disconnect you. "Oh I'm sorry you used up your 1TB limit. No one needs more than that per month! Are you doing something illegal???"

I was running 900 Mbps constant download for over 2 weeks on Zipply and never once got a notice. So they might honestly let people use the full data allowance.

Not that it's feasible, but they themselves won't have the bandwidth for a few 50gbps users 24/7.

My 1gbps service is a 2.5gbps GPON split between 32 other users, i've always seen 1gbps. But theoretically it would only take 3 of us to max the connection out
