Tests
The bandwidth of your connection is guaranteed to the edge of Vista's Network. The bandwidth is again guaranteed to Vista by the upstream provider
to which your traffic is passed. Due to vast, interconnected nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee bandwidth to any particular network, host, or speed test.
To best gauge the bandwidth of your connection, experts suggest testing your connection at both peak and off-peak hours. Further, they suggest that you run
several different tests ten or more times each and produce an average. The below tests are at the edge of Vista's network and will give you a good idea of your bandwidth
through the network.
