Comments on news posted 2007-09-02 15:21:16: Having speeds as fast as 100 mbps sounds like something that could change your Internet life right? Just imagine how fast the downloads would be, how much better the streaming video would get and how great the applications you use would be, right? No.. ..

Spokane, WA | If you mean Most applications being Web Apps Then you really haven't developed Enterprise App Suites.
100BaseT was standard in the Enterprise intranets back in 1998 after it's standard in 1995.
Gigabit was ratified by 2005.
The Northwest has Gigapop and Spokane has 10Gigabit for Internet 2 clients only eligible to use this backbone.

By the way, when HD content hits the Networks in 2009/2010 the US will be inadequate to handle these application needs with the current consumer backbone.
However, Japan is ready with 100BaseT to the home. | |

Santa Clara, CA |  Yes, 100M CAN change your life
Once I replaced it with a pfSense box (»www.pfsense.org) which was able to do 100/100 or better, I found lots of sites that don't limit you to 1-3M/sec. I can download a new distro of Linux in just a few minutes (five CDs in five minutes, actually). Companies like Sun, Google, Microsoft, etc. all have insanely fast servers. All the data you can eat with no waiting!

Riverhead, NY | i want it! Just because ONE GUY doesn't have a need for 100mb doesn't mean that someone else won't.
S*IT! I'd LOVE that service. I could stop dragging my server down to work to backup to LTO3. I could host my own webserver, instead of paying someone else! | |

| we need more upload Even now, we have in most areas a decent amount of downstream bandwidth, anywhere from say 3mbits to 50mbits depending on ISP and location. Yet we hardly have any upload! I can think of many ways to take advantage of faster speeds besides obvious things such as fast file transfers and what not, but it's kind of hard to take advantage of faster speeds when it seems every consumer ISP wants to provide super fast downstream, yet much much slower upstream! Why is this?
Why for example can we get with most cable companies 10mbps, yet 2mbps upload is only available in certain areas, and only one company offers a 5mbps upload option? If Cablevision can offer 5mbps, then Charter, cox and the others should be able to offer it as well, I mean it's using the same cable modem technology!
Heck if we all at least had the option of 2mbps upstream or better, we could do super high quality multi-person voice chats, using both high quality audio and high quality video. Heck we could even stream audio at raw 1.4mbps uncompressed CD rates, now how neat would that be?
If we can get 10mbps plus on download, then I'm certain the upload speed could be raised without there being any issues on the backbone, I mean the downstream works fine. So give us multi-mbps upstream links already, it's 2007 for goodness sakes! | |
