    100Mbps is about 12MB/s download.

    Rish, it's totally possible to download with way more than that...it all just depends on the line in to your location / fibre / server location.

    Oh, lol, there's a second page >.<

    God damn, would you people realize we are talking about the moron that posted this thread?

    It's not possible for him at all.

    Perhaps this thread should be renamed & moved to the debate section? There is a debate going on. ^^

    Another example, they tested a new technology that let them transfer 120 mbits/s via the same thing you use to watch TV.

    Some of us have harddrives with speeds over 100 megabytes per second. That's why we have raid, after all...

    OK i am going to say this 1 more time just to make it clear for you; THE SPEED HE IS SHOWING INDICATES A 600 MEGABIT CONNECTION. HOW THE HELL DO YOU PEOPLE FIND THAT POSSIBLE?

    I am TELLING you right now, this is not a debatable subject, it IS NOT POSSIBLE.

    Yes there are places which may SAY they have a "gigabit connection" but it is NOT available, this "gigabit connection" is ONLY FROM THE ISP SERVER TO THE EXCHANGE, IF YOU READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IT IS CLEARLY STATED THERE. Fiber optics and gigabit connections are NOT new, stop mentioning them matter-of-factly and expecting it to prove anything.

    - Stop thinking in multiples of ten.. 60MB (megabytes) per second indicates a 480+ megabit connection (assuming one gets an optimal speed).

    - Also, take note that he said it wasn't supposed to be like that. That the first poster does not get that download speed as the norm. It was a one time thing, and that is not impossible for bandwidth to be allocated wrongly. Glitches do happen, and are not expected, but one should always expect the unexpected.

    - My ISP advertises the Internet I get at 16mb/2mb (down/up). I get anywhere from 15-to-20mb down, and 2-to-6mb up, based on various tests from www.speedtest.net/. I can download up to 4MB/s, and upload up to 2MB/s. This is likely because the guy who installed my stuff was cool, and hooked up some cables that would give me a strong connection. It probably helps that I'm the only person in my area who has the Internet package that I have, too.
    With that said, I agree that people don't get what is advertised to them. I am lucky and get just a bit more than what was advertised, for me. ^^

    - Stop saying things in a matter-of-fact way... you don't know, so don't say it. Go back a hundred years, and people would have said the Internet would never take off, it was impossible (like how you are saying it will never improve, it is impossible - keyword, you are saying it is impossible).
    If you have the money, you could setup an OC12 line for home use (it costs a few thousand dollars (USD) per month, though). If you can find a website that will upload enough to make use of your Internet speed, you will have to take note that it actually does download very fast. Probably as fast as your harddrive will copy the data. Of course, with i-Ram and/or RAID setups, that can be pretty fast. It isn't so much as impossible, as unlikely.

    So? OC3 Lines are amazing. Picture this: 20 T1 Lines (100mb/s) bundled together. The place where I work has about 3 of them, and one is reserved for their servers (nameservers, DNS servers, some groupwise, and a couple of VPS's).

    Once you factor in line noise, packet loss, and the distance form both the ISP servers + the Exchange, you are left with 10% of your line speed. That's why i use 10 and not 12.5 because in practice you will not get that speed.

    Where the hell are you getting 12.5?

    8 bits = 1 byte.

    Therefore theoretically and technically a 100mb line SHOULD have a transfer speed of 12.5mb/s. But as i pointed out above, once you factor in all the external influences you are left with that "10" i was using.

    100/8 = 12.5

    Re: [Godly] downloading speed.

    my average download speed is 1.2MB/sec providing the site does not cap me at 600 - 800 KB/s I live in canada and have the 10MB service from rogers


    Here is a quick speed test you also have to keep in mind there are 2 other computers +a server running on the network currently

    this is pointless,

    Shouldn't this be moved or locked?

    ...

    No, just no. In most cases maybe, but I know that isn't true in many cases. We live far from our DSL ISP thing, 2KM which is just at the limit, yet we got 4mbit when we had ordered 4mbit. And my uncle gets quite exactly 100mbit, 12,5MB/S.

    One byte = 8 bits.
