When you've got 200 people sharing 10mbit it can be a little slow at times (down to 20k/sec). Especially when this one guy has 4 porn streams running at once! He's got a dual monitor setup and so he has one monitor with Babes and Lesbians and the other with Asians and Hardcore. Funny thing is he has a really hot girlfriend. :conf: |

While you might think that with 200 users 10mbit wouldn't go far, the net at college never really gets overloaded. The slowest its ever got down to was (as I said) around 20k/sec. And that was only cause there were problems at the Adelaide Uni end. At our college they have a Sun Ray system, so most people use that for net use. And since you can only view websites (and not download files) the bandwidth usage is minimal. That said, there are around 30 of us who have their own computers (and think that Sunrays are the worlds largest paper weights). But unless we all happens to be downloading at once, the bandwidth never really gets chewed. Plus 99% of the time your download speed is faster than their upload speed, so you're limited by that factor too. Mind you, it's pretty cool having that much bandwidth cause you can have 10 DC downloads going at 20k/sec and surf the web at the same time.
So in summary, a 10mbit connection is rather sweeeeeet. |

i guess if youve got 2 monitors you need to use them for something. |

here is an interesting bandwidth fact about european unis. Many universities in finland (one domain is hut.fi) have 155 megabit connections to the backbone. Yes 155 megabit. Transferring between fast ftps in Europe you can get in excess of 1 meg a sec, usually below 2 meg though. Also in Sweden, people have 10megabit fibre, to their door, for seriously cheap prices.
They also have more trance than us :( |

im not much of a internet person, but i heard the super duper rich companies who need fast internet... use some connection that lets u dl around 1 gigz per second/minute... or else somewhere near that is that true?
i heard this off of my computer friend |

they make copper string now????
well im on dial-up, and to make things worse, i had adsl for like a yr before this as well |

also a gig/second is impossible
well its possible, but i dont think anything bar the line leading out of australia can get that high |

cable here.
fibre optic cable can run at gigbits, which is obviously more than 1gig/sec im sure some infrastuctures use this technology such as sun valley in the US. |
