Re: Can't complain. 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 have a 50mbs line and I'm ready for it to be faster. |

| What do you do on said 50 Mbps line? What sites can serve up content at the full 50? Not trying to be antagonistic here; I freaking love the connections I get with the VPSes I have (yay $10 per month for 400GB of transfer on a 100Mbit port...plus a 20GB, 512-1024MB RAM server to run on the connection!). Plus the OC3 that my school is on, when it wasn't so overloaded. Looking forward to the gigabit link we'll be getting *any day now* |
