Re: LOL, so how to you verify this?
I've seen the speed tests here push out 28mbps at work where we have a DS3 (45mbits), but never much more. You would have to go out and download a couple of files at the same time from sites known to be fast to really test the connection. Several linux ISOs would probably do it.

| How many people share that DS3 is the question I would ask.
Then, I would assert a post.
Otherwise, Verizon is making leaps and bounds with it's Fios service.
But...who needs all that bandwidth? And will the backbone routers handle users with that speed? There is already congestion on many routes in major cities that Verizon cannot fix if the BBN, UUNet and other backbones are not updated to handle the traffic.
You will go as fast as the backbone will let you go. |

| said by Slidetbone  :How many people share that DS3 is the question I would ask. Then, I would assert a post. Lots, but the average usage is around 3mbit. I routinely get close to 45mbit downloading multiple ISOs, but BBR's speed test has never given me about 28mbit download speed, though I just ran a quick test right now, an got 35mbit upload speed at megapath.

You will go as fast as the backbone will let you go. It's a luxury. Not many home users *need* it, but it's nice when downloading big things. As for the backbone, I don't think it's the bottle neck most of the time. The two last miles on either end are usually the culprits.

It usually maxes out at 60/60mbps.
Nobody really goes over 80mbps both ways. |
