Re: wow I do..... And so does any other web 2.0 developer.
We are tried of having to compress and lower the quality of our stuff so people with slow connections don't have to wait 10 minutes for the web app to load.
Once this, or even 10mbps starts to become the norm, you are going too see a exposition in the quality of the way websites look. |

A) DSL = lower bit rate, but typically you will hit your max w/o issue (eg. ADSL 6-7Mbps, VDSL at 10Mbps). Typically a better QoS on DSL, IMO. B) Cable 6-25Mbps, slow downs during peak usage, but for bursty transmissions, and less distance limitations, Cable works well.
Think of DSL as token ring, and Cable as ethernet with a hub (not switch).
Unless I'm mistaken HD uncompressed is 19.2Mbps, and unless there's a queuing mechanism, I don't think you'll be having decently streamed HD over the internet for a while w/o buffering -- Canada = Hollywood North |
