Nothing is as frustrating as an internet connection that works intermittently and sometimes crawls like a snail. If you need a truly fast and stable connection that you can rely on 100% of the time, day or night, consider internet without aggregation.
The term aggregation refers to the sharing of internet link capacity among multiple users. This method of capacity distribution is quite common and undoubtedly suitable for less demanding users. Given higher aggregation, it is indeed possible to significantly reduce the cost of connection for individual users. And price is often decisive when choosing. Properly configured aggregation at an acceptable ratio does not significantly complicate data transfer, and sharing the link generally does not appear problematic. However, if the link becomes overloaded due to too much aggregation, it results in slow page loading, low or fluctuating download speeds.
The level of aggregation must be stated in the contract for the provided internet connection, but you need to know what to look for. Otherwise, it is hidden in an inconspicuous phrase somewhere in the supplementary text, and you could easily overlook it. For home users in our region, an aggregation of 1:50 and 1:40 is commonly used, and for Wi-Fi and better xDSL connections, an aggregation of 1:20 is used. Companies also have options with even lower aggregation (e.g., only 1:10 or 1:8). However, an unlimited data transfer will logically be compensated by a significantly higher price for a perfect connection.
This is an ideal connection where the client does not share the link with any other users. This type of connection is indeed in a different price category than what you are used to as regular users, but it ensures maximum comfort. Transferring large files, online conferences, and watching TV are entirely trouble-free. There's no guessing whether you'll be able to download or send files in the evening during peak network usage, listen to music, or enjoy a movie in peace. Aggregation 1:1 is particularly attractive to corporate customers and IT companies for whom connection speed is crucial.
Sharing the link and high aggregation may not be the only reason for slow internet. After checking the aggregation level, you should also check the condition of your computer, complete hardware, and see if any programs are unnecessarily reducing the connection speed. It is also important to check the connection technology (ADSL, WiFi) and other specific provider settings.
Most providers list transfer speeds in conjunction with the misleading term “up to.” This means that the speed stated in the tariff designation is the maximum you can expect when you are the only user of the link. If you don't want to share the capacity, focus on connections with the lowest possible aggregation or even opt for a connection without aggregation entirely.
