I <3 my net

[Rishwin]

Over 1.3mb/s total, i achieved over 2.1mb/s about 3 mins after that SS was taken, and my line speed is 17mb so my theoretical maximum is 1.7mb/s.

I dl'd a 700mb movie in 10 mins :O

 

[Skycut]

You must be shitting me.

 

[iRock]

Wow.
O_O

 

[Rishwin]

As you can see, they all have 1 connection except for the fastest which has 2. That's cos i accidentally had the max connections set to 8. I realized after that SS and changed it to 15, and it hit 2.1 mb/s for about 20 seconds before half of them fnnished.

Pirate with Fast internetz!!!

Ha ha!
That's going in my sig also

 

[Rishwin]

Haha set as my user title

Sadly it can only fit "Pirate with Fast internet" though

 

[iRock]

If you put wif, like I did, then it would fit

 

[alexdesire]

Haha i didn't think it would catch on

 

[TimTheLord]

I can has?

Someone i know in india gets 70MB/second.. seriously. The guy spend ALOT of money on his connection tho.

 

[InZan3]

Wut is dat?

The fastest connection possible (although not available as far as i know) at the moment is a 100mb line which is, as you know, the speed of your average LAN connection. The transfer rate of that is 10mb/s. Are you suggesting this friend of yours has a GIGABYTE (which would have a maximum download speed of 100mb/s) internet connection? That means their phone line bandwidth is 1 GIGABYTE which is not possible since more than 75% of PC's do not even have that much bandwidth on their NIC's. I think somebody is lying to you

Let me also point out that the ONLY way he COULD download at 70MB/s would be IF he was downloading from the ISP server DIRECTLY, ie. he has to be in the building itself and plugged straight into their servers, and then he would only be able to download files that are hosted there at that speed ; anythign else will go at regular speed like everyone else.

Wrong, theoretically your max is 17/8 = 2,125MB/s :tongue:

 

[Rishwin]

Wrong, theoretically your max is 17/8 = 2,125MB/s :tongue:

That would make my transfer rate 12.5% of my connection which would be too high, it should only be 10% (hence the 1.7mb maximum). Even if it was a little higher than that, noise and loss of data between myself and the exchange would slow it down back to 10%. And no i do not live right next to the exchange, it's a 5 minute drive away (25 minute walk).

 

[Jamie]

It was a 70MB connection, i dont know, tbh... It was on his www.speed-test.net

 

[Rishwin]

Yeh most speed testers are very inaccurate, it gives me a speed of 9500 kbps. That would give me a download speed of about 900kb/s, yet i can do more than double of that.

Chances are it was either photoshoped or he misread it.

That wouldn't be able if your theoretical max was 1,7mb/s.

We were talking theoretically, so I didn't include distance in my calculation.

and theoretically i shouldn't be able to go over my max speed

I think it may be because i use CABLE net and i share that same cable with a major high school. Perhaps the high school has arranged for a higher bandwidth limit to be set cos they have so many people using it during the week... i am on 17mb because it is the highest in this area but i think due to the school we are being provided with 24mb. Also note that besides the school, i am 1 of only 5 other houses who uses the cable in this area so we get awesome speeds.

terrorfel has faster

you both have faster than me
