That sounds pointless... I could give you a line with 40 GBps bandwidth....but where would it go to ? there aren't really any PoP's around the country that could handle it..... you'd hit a much slower bottleneck somewhere along the line.
im in heaven t3 kick arse so bad download mp3 in like less then a min movies in 30-40 mins ahhhhhhhhhhhh all u guys should be so jelous at me its so good untill 3 days ago they said server upgrades will be going from the 1s to the 15 so i got free 56k its ok but i still need my t3 i mean 15 mins for mp3s isnt bad but this sucks
ADSL 4Mbit/768kb. Quadrupled download speed (for the same price) since they first started DSL in this country. Me likes.
10 mb here over JANET its limited by the hardware tho, these halls are linked to uni via laser, cabled halls get ~15-20 mbs. Love the sub 5 pings on some online servers tho, and the 1.2mb (bytes) a sec dl we can get....
I was on 512/256 adsl until today when my (supposedly) seamless, zero downtime, change of ISPs was supposed to go on. The original ISP was cancelled and surprise, surprise, the new ISP hasnt even processed my order! So im stuck on god damn dial up until i can get things sorted....
I had a 512 Kb ADSL connection for a while, for surfing/gaming, but I switched to 1 Mb when BT started their trial of the 1 Mb service. I can't say I noticed tooo much difference moving from 512Kb to 1 Mb, but I wouldn't move back ... Olly
i think that's due to a large, mainly male, sexually frustrated load of students in halls mass-downloading pr0n dvds of the internet (that's on top of the standard uni kazaa thievery). I'm also an IC student; in my hall year (in Beit, if anyone cares) the avaiable speed dropped quickly as more and more ppl got online. there were times where a 56k connection would have been marginally quicker... The answer was to work in the department. Here in Germany they sensibly limit the bandwidth per user, which seems to do the trick of stopping bottlenecks. unfortunately the firewall here stops any direct connections.. (no trillian, no msn speech, no d/l programs (legal or otherwise) still darn fast tho - several MB/sec...
I've got a 10mbit connection at work, and a 2mbit at home w/ 8 live ips.. :yay: webserver.. :yay: ... all for free :yay:
Also the fact that most residences are treated a low priority traffic by the firewall and are not allocated any decent amount of bandwidth.
i have 1meg cable but wouldent mind a oc128 conection. or even a direct line to the transatlantic pipe that starts in london and hooks us up to america. mmmmm 6gb/s
512/256 here with crappy bt. I signed up to the bt/sky broadband offer, so unfortunatly im stuck with no bt email accounts or webspace, just a straight forward adsl line . . . .
T1, at work. Nice, but not that fast, since there's a ton of people on it and they're using part of it for phone lines or some such worthless nonsense.
