The job of computer networks and network devices is not file transfer. Its to pass information, only a subset of which is for file transfer. Networking devices pass pass bits between each other, so it only makes sense to measure how many of those bits they can pass per second.
Hiding it is not anti-consumer. Nothing is being hidden. The capabilities of the devices are simply being accurately described based on the job they perform and the way they perform it.
What good is it that i can reach the local node in 1000Mbit/s if their first hop to an internet server slows the connection by 90%?
The first hop to an internet server doesn’t slow the connection by 90%. The connection remains at 100% the entire time.
It’s not some reason, the reason is that file transfer uses bytes.
Hiding it is anti-consumer.
What good is it that i can reach the local node in 1000Mbit/s if their first hop to an internet server slows the connection to 90%?
If i upgrade to the 2500Mbit/s connection, am i only getting 90% of that too?
They should advertise what internet service they’re really providing.

If it is 100% why is it 90%?
