i read this site all of the time and it is great when people try to justify how much speed one really needs...it comes in sentances like (unless your dloading something illegal you dont need it to be that fast)
I know. It's ridiculous, how the hell does anyone know or don't know what I want and do online? sometimes I wonder why broadband is even popular at all, I mean wasn’t a transfer rate of 5kbps good enough?
I downloaded the first season of Surface off of iTunes. 15 episodes, 2.92GB in size total, took 90 minutes exactly, I mean exactly to within 5 seconds. Way too long, sure a gig every half an hour is better then nothing, but at max speed, my ideal connection would be 1GB every 10-15 minutes. If my area ever gets the 15/2 Road Runner Premium increase, I’ll be pretty damn close. |
