What the numbers are
Each destination page shows a typical download speed and a lower figure for when the network is busy. Larger destinations also show figures for their main cities.
The busy figure is the one to plan around. It is what the connection looks like at a crowded station or in a full arrivals hall, and it decides whether a video call holds.
Networks and throttle
The networks named on each plan are the networks your Orbislo line uses, and the throttle threshold shown on each plan is the one that applies.
If a figure looks wrong
