    Well, your home line is not intended to be utilized 100% all the time, and you would probably not get 1Gbit/s for very long (probably bursted in the beginning) if you and your neighbours tried to use all the bandwith..

    The donated 600Mbit/s on the other hand, that is probably a connection that is guaranteed to work under a high load 24/7.
