i have Telus Adsl. damn theres some fast ones out there.whats T1 and T3?? there crazy fast and how do you get it??
 
when I was in the dorms I had T3, it was nice :P
now i have cable 1mbps up/dn ....
use to be able to tap into a OC3 conn, was so nice ......
 
DSL I'd love to switch to cable, but I have sat TV and would'nt get the discount they're giving. Too expensive IMO without the discount when you get the package deal. Internet/Cable TV/phone service.

cable is better than DSL
 
I think OC10 is the fastest @ 620 Mbps. It's straight-up optical ("dark fiber") connection direct from the providers backbone. Unreal fast and reliable. I doubt it's available for residential I couldn't even imagine the bill.

You're probably thinking of your network cards transfer speeds. The only internet connection speed close to that is OC3 @ 155Mbps and at least a couple grand a month.

Your ADSL is probably 768Kbps down max.

i just looked and it says connected at 100.0 mbps

That's the connection to your modem or router from your computer's network card. Not to the internet. It bottle necks from there (at the modem to the phone company).

i always see T1 and T3 connections downloading off limewire

Lots of businesses and schools use T1/T3 (usually at least T3 [45Mbps] now) connections. Besides anyone can choose what their connection speeds "is" when setting up Limewire. It's only so peer (downloaders) can choose who to DL from. I choose "56k modem" so I get potentially less leechers (I have slower uploading speeds).

In South Korea the majority of people of have 100MB connections in their homes, but then their population is concentrated into 4 major cities.

Straight from the providers? And do you mean 100 Megabit or MegaByte? I'm guessing you mean Mb(yte)? Anyways, that's still crazy home bandwidth. LOL I say that now but someday I'll be laughing at those rates.
 
I'm pretty happy with Verizon DSL, they upped it from 1.5Mbps to 3.0 for free, there are no bandwidth restrictions that I am aware of or have hit yet, and I can host game servers with great ping for everyone in the US. The only restriction is, I think, no FTP servers allowed.
 
OC = Speed
OC-1 = 51.85 Mbps
OC-3 = 155.52 Mbps
OC-12 = 622.08 Mbps
OC-24 = 1.244 Gbps
OC-48 = 2.488 Gbps
OC-192 = 9.952 Gbps
OC-255 = 13.21 Gbps

Low latency can be an advantage on DSL. Have you tried any of those "bandwidth tests" like on toast.net? That's how I came up with the estimate of the usually getting 2Mb from my cable providers 3Mb plan.

That's what I have now. I got it a long time ago with AOL/through AOL. I'm dropping AOL soon when I purchase a new PC and getting another (new) contract with Verizon, hopefully upgrading all my equipment.

Whenever a phone tech comes to my house, they always comment about how great of a line I have from the telephone pole. They say they've never seen something that good. I have no idea what they're talking about, but different techs at different times have commented on that. I hope that helps with my internet connection somehow. lol blah blah blah...
 
OMG Smoke signals would work faster than this!

i have wireless also i dont like it. i always plug my ethernet in

Wireless (B) is really slow about 11MBit/sec maximum transfer rate.

Wireless (G) is a lot better, about 54Mbit/sec

Both are really subject to crosstalk from Cellphones, bluetooth, even Microwave ovens, as the 2.4GHz area is awfully crowded.

LOL. That's not all that bad bro. It sounds like you have 768/128 ADSL. Which is still very decent broadband and is NOT slow. Definitely not smoke signal slow. If you're a close enough distance from a switch you can probably get that bumped up. Ask Verizon if they offer higher bandwidth plans.
 
Cable modem at home..

some crazy OC connection at work

This is true but the speed of your home network is not the same as the speed of your Internet connection. It's only the (theoretical) maximum speed of data transfer between network interface devices connected in your home network. Like earlier Wootoom was confusing the 100Mbps connection of his computer's network card for the actual bandwidth of his ISP connection.

I don't know about that second part though. I know 2.4Ghz is considered a microwave but I thought microwave ovens were design so microwaves couldn't pass through to them? Better quit staring at my veggies cook :worried:

says who?

wait till you have a crowded neighbor... then you will know what "Shared Bandwidth" and "oversubscription" mean.

Home, 6Mb down, 512Kb up

Office, double E3 lines, proxies in America, Europe and Asia (I changed them according to where I'm going)

Microwaves are shielded but they work in a high SWR environment. I used to be a magnetron engineer, you are still going to get stray RF. the broad spectrum wireless networking can be problematic with any stray RF.
