There is talk of 1TB-100TB being sent through the power lines in our near future.
We can only hope ..... wink.gif


source? I read about power lines only doing dsl and cable speeds............



comcast 8mb is the same price as my 30mbps verizon fiber, the end.

i guess it wasn't the end, i'm a bandwidth whore, and when i had 6mb/s comcast i didn't max it out.... so 30 is cool, but..... i dont really notice...

except on 2-3 MegaBYTE/sec downloads i guess

I have Verizon FiOS (Fiber Optic). I believe it's only offered in two areas, Orchard Park NY (me) and somewhere near NYC. It is the fastest crap ever. I used to have Time Warner (Adelphia) but I get speeds that are like 5Mbps down and 2Mbps up. It feels like those super computers that know what you are thinking. I downloaded a file from a friend (Xbox to Xbox) across FiOS and got it to max out his up speed.

One word: Fast.

10Mb down/1mb up Cable at home
100Mb both ways on a fiber connection at my office (I'm the sys admin for a small ISP). I can't remember what we pay for the fiber connection but we're in the same building as our provider so we're getting a good deal. Too bad that connection is being hogged by all our customers


You guys don't happen to need any help down at the office, do you? :-D I'd be happy to just be in the same room as those speeds...

QUOTE

How are some people here getting 100Mbps up and down for so little, wish it would happen in the uk, still 10Mb cable is good for now, way better than adsl which doesn't live upto the speeds it advertises.


Now, out of curiosity... Is the 100mbs speeds talking about the NIC in the computer / router, or *actual* connection speeds. I mean, because if we're talking about NICs, I'm getting 1gbps. My actual connection speed is considerably less than that...

I use a free dial-up account. Only way I'm getting broadband is if my mom's boyfriend sets it up or I get a job and pay for it myself (which is long overdue).

I get 5kbits/3kbits up. Jealous?  tongue.gif

8mb down smile.gif / 256kb up sad.gif cable connection... down speed is good i can get +900kbytes/s on bt and ftp's , but those crappy 256kbits of upload are making it very hard to keep decent ratios. not to mention that i can only download 30gb per month. and i pay 30€ for this... portugal sucks in internet services.

Same here.  Well, if I had a gigabit router, I would.  However, I heard that NTL was field testing a 100MB connection earlier this year, seeing as cable can handle upto 3Gbps.

Cable at ~15 down, 1 up. I always get at least 15 Mbit but usually up to 16. I never have any slowdowns and never have.

Isn't bad at all. Just a few years ago I was only getting 3 Mbit down and 256 Kbit up. They upgrade like every 6 months and always give you the speeds you pay for and always a ton more on download than what they rate at! smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

And unlike many other ISP's mine has never sent out excessive bandwidth reports to any customers including myself. And I sometimes average about 500 GB/month.

Fiber should be here soon. They've been running all the cable for over a year now.

I have wireless internet.. 1mb down/256k up @ $55/month. They're obviously raping me on price since it's the -only- option where I'm at, but I would go crazy without it.
