Hmm, probably means 100Gb for two reasons. First, it's Gigabits (Gb) not Gigabytes (GB), probaby just the font though.

Second, I don't think I've ever seen a 91 Gb/s transceiver, there's 100 Gb, 50 Gb, etc., but not 91Gb. Unless this is a combined number.

Netflix throttles their own services if it thinks you're on a metered connection, whether you are or not.

Let's not forget the 4000 or so people they have to share that connection with. That will slow it down.
