Re: a waste
said by gravesg  :^^ you apparently don't respect the internet. as for 100mbps in every home ... it can't happen. not even in the next 10 years. well actually it could happen but their would be people running servers left and right putting data centers out of biz . why pay 100$ a month for a 20mbit line to the net for my server when i can get my neighbor to do it for like 20$ lol personally i'd run maybe 10,20 game servers at 40$ a month on symmetrical 100mbps, and have my main pc as a WAREZ HOT BOX lol. Ever think that in the future data centers will be offering gigabit connections and not megabit connections as the norm for most servers? Or perhaps we will reach a point where bandwidth usage will reach a near maximum in terms of usage? Don't forget data centers offer 99.99999% reliability, NO ISP can offer that.

| now you know how reluctant data centers are on upgrading their network. although you do raise a point.
how many of us would really need our server on 1Gbit ???
well i can think of a few things but thats me.
game servers only require about 5Mbit's of dedicated bandwidth both ways.
as for other applications, you idea is proly the best i've seen at dslr. man when 1Gbit is standard for data centers that will be a marvelous time.
i really hope cable tries to push ftth insted of docsis 3.0
just seems like fiber is the better choice here  |

If you do alot of streaming audio at high quality bit rates, and you want to support lots of listeners, having a 1 gigabit per second connection would be useful. Also if you do lots of file transfer it'd be handy to have. A few data centers now offer 1GBPS, and though it won't be used much, for those that can use it, it will be handy for sure. A friend of mine has several internet radio stations and combined stream over 140mbps daily out his servers. What we really need is more upload at home, heck we've got plenty of download, now give us at least a solid 3mbps upstream! |
