I would rather have more efficient apps on the internet rather than simply throwing more bandwidth at the problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22220707 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:34:36 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22220260 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22220260 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 11:36:51 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22219205 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22219205 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:22:08 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22219151 said by iansltx:

Exactly. The "inflection points" on internet these days are 768k (broadband), 1.5 Mbps (more video streaming), 5 Mbps (HD video in some cases) and 15 Mbps (rocking connectivity). If you're moving from one tier to the other it does make a rather big difference. On uploads, 384k, 768k, 1.5-2M and 5M are probably the big ones.
I'd say 15mbs is very slow. I have a 50mbs line and I'm ready for it to be faster.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22219151 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:01:54 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22219011 said by patcat88:

Have to agree here.

When I went to 30Mbps DOCSIS3 it was night and day. Pages loaded instantly, no lag time or waiting.
The bandwidth rarely matters anymore in page loading speed, your browser, your CPU, your RAM, number of files comprising the page (CSS, JS, images, AJAX, iframes), and especially the CPU, DB, and HDs on the website your using. If the CPU stalls on the website or there is disk I/O congestion, there is nothing you can do about that lag.
Actually on a lot of sites it does matter. Reason being that a lot of sites are full of rich content such as flash and the like.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22219011 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:14:38 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22218432 said by fifty nine:

In this case the "they" are the applications, users, and legitimate uses that FTTH can bring to the table with the increased innovation.

All of you people that sit here and say "but that much speed will do you no good" or "nobody needs anything that fast" or "what could you legally do with that much speed?" are blind morons.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22217213 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 17:53:11 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22216525
You too can see if you qualify for shaw secure with this Qualifier file »kevinkatovic.blogspot.com/2009/0···ows.html

Good Luck
I guess the big secret is out still waiting for the Bell Nexxia update to be available in my area as a faster alternative to shaw cable.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22216525 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:47:57 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22216420

As for websites, where are you going that only has 1.5 Mbps downloads? I can max out my connection here DL/ULing from my personal site ($7.50 per month is the basic plan...I got a better deal though) and seems like any servers with anything to download these days are on 100 Mbps ports...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22216150 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:39:28 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22216140 said by jadebangle:

Most website won't allow you to download faster then 1.5mbps so its only in rare cases or few place that you can exceed this speedWere you serious?

I can easily do 80mbps at Uni from almost any website I travel too (with the exception of a few which I know for a fact are on 10mbit links).

I hate how many people just nonchalantly throw out this statement like we're all still on AOL Dial-Up or something.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22216140 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:38:13 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22216065 said by jadebangle:

But with 1.5M upload? My cable connection does better. Even OOL Boost does better.
The upload is just as important as download
it isn't anymore useful to have 24/1.5 vs 5/5 for about the same price. Most website won't allow you to download faster then 1.5mbps so its only in rare cases or few place that you can exceed this speed

Too much download speed is useless without decent upload speed to compensate for it...
Your first statement is absolutely false. Put a 10Mbps or higher line next to a 1.5Mbps line and it's night and day. My 15Mbps fiber line has slightly higher letancy to most sites than my 1.5Mbps Road Runner line, but my fiber line destroys my RR line when comparing browsing speeds. It's night and day.

Your last statement is true however. But 1.5Mbps and up is a good upstream number for the vast majority of people. I only have 2Mbps and while 5Mbps upstream is available to me, 2Mbps is great.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22216065 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:25:04 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22215956 said by fifty nine:

I'll still prefer 5/5 over 10/1 or 20/2 etc
even 20/5 isn't much better then 5/5
I could probably leech faster occasionally on 20/5 but its not a big deal since I'm not an impatient bastard like few who even think 100/1 is cool with them... who see upload speed as least important.

It's all about competition. My FTTH is only 15Mbps down and 2Mbps up, for $69.99 a month. The fastest tier I can purchase from a competitor is 10Mbps/512Kbps from Time Warner.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22215994 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:13:44 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22215927 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22215927 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:01:37 EDT Re: Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22215856 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-complain-22215856 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:46:08 EDT Can't complain. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Cant-complain-22215761 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Cant-complain-22215761 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:28:35 EDT
