Re: 7mbps new? said by SteveCon:said by axus:Where outside of R&D centers, campuses, and government agencies, etc. that collaborate on large projects over great distances, is a large upload bandwidth really needed? I don't mean students on campus sharing movies, etc. over popular P2P networks here or others that want to violate their ISP's TOS by running a server.. but what are you doing that requires high bandwidth upload capacities? I'm sure there are a few that really do need it - but are there that many out there that I see bemoaning slow upload rates? ME! I BEMOAN UPLOAD RATES! See my 2003 post (when I had 1mb UPLOAD! »Re: Capping Discussion Here Only - Part 6 ) Now, I have 1 and 2 GB cards, and can have 800-1600 photos to upload to Kodak after a busy day shooting, WHY even with my 2mb upload does it take so long!! (Capping isn't a issue anymore, they stopped capping users for excessive uploads.)
And for other reasons, this thread segment also from 2003: »Re: Capping Posts.......
(Oh and as an aside, I qualified for 8mb DSL from Bell Atlantic back in 2000....so, I think that this verizon thing is just bull unless it's very cheap compared to back then when it was expensive and in excess of $100 a month, but the upload is less than what I get today with cable (15/2mbps) and if I spent $10/mo more (aka $55/mo), I could get 30/5mbps.)
