Re: Someone's being paid
said by pspcrazy  :Well it seems like someone's being paid off, or their just plain ignorant lol. Shame on you PC world. Lol not even knowing that 101 mbit is the fastest multi state residential in the U.S in quite funny. Note that there is 1 faster then them only in santa barbara and around that area: Paxio: » paxio.com/home.php?link=InternetThey offer 1 GBPS resedential, oh it would be a dream. Exactly! You wanna plunk down 250 a month for gig both ways internet, and you have something that could eat just about 30 somethings at the same time and still have room to spare.
After all, unless you use something like Flashget, you are limited to whatever a server can push out. What is it these days, 45-50Mbits? If a lot more people went for 100+ connections, I could definitely see myself doing several things at once besides this one download I'm working on at that moment. |

1 edit | most of the time its 10mbit or 100mbit per server on the dedi / colo sides of things. There are the few and far packages that let you pick up some odd unmetered port speeds. Most "servers" that your pulling sites from generally get billed on usage rather than speed.
:EDIT: And yes, before someone else comes up and says it in a snide remark.... the bandwidth does have to be shared amongst all those using that server, whether it be multiple sites or multiple visitors to said sites. |

I would plunk it down just out of pure respect for them having the most aggressive speeds on the market  100 /100 for 100 a month is where usa should be at Who cares it we don't use it now, the key is that we'll be able to use it if needed. |

I've got no issue bringing down 100mbits full rate from servers I visit regularly. I see no reason why anyone else should.

Baltimore, MD | Considering it was bursting up and down, and considering Windows reserves another 20% of available bandwidth (link speed was 100mbps), I'm positive. |

Bursting I could see if I was looking at peaks and not averages, but why does Windows reserve another 20% of available bandwidth? That would mean 10 mpbs customers won't get above 8 and 20 mbps customer never above 16. Never heard of that... |
