I have god-like internet speed
 
I was wondering why that 3gb file didn't seem to take as long as it used to at my old apartment.

And you live -where- again? What did you do, splice some co-ax into a DARPA line or something? Fuuuuj....

Baraka_Guru 07-21-2007 08:26 AM

Apparently, your connection beats mine by 252,559.8 kbps. Congratulations. :oogle:

Never before has my cable Internet seemed so much like one of those 5200 bps modems.

The back button is quite powerful, isn't it? ;)

Well, this really sucks. Pardon me while I go light the fire so I can heat the water for the tub.

Now this is fast............

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - She is a latecomer to the information superhighway, but 75-year-old Sigbritt Lothberg is now cruising the Internet with a dizzying speed. Lothberg's 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world, Karlstad city officials said.

In less than 2 seconds, Lothberg can download a full-length movie on her home computer — many thousand times faster than most residential connections, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, head of the Karlstad city network unit.

Jonsson and Lothberg's son, Peter, worked together to install the connection.

The speed is reached using a new modulation technique that allows the sending of data between two routers placed up to 1,240 miles apart, without any transponders in between, Jonsson said.

"We wanted to show that that there are no limitations to Internet speed," he said.

Peter Lothberg, who is a networking expert, said he wanted to demonstrate the new technology while providing a computer link for his mother.

"She's a brand-new Internet user," Lothberg said by phone from California, where he lives. "She didn't even have a computer before."

His mother isn't exactly making the most of her high-speed connection. She only uses it to read Web-based newspapers.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, we're rockin' out at 781.8 Kbps here in Iceland (ADSL). Yay.

1180.6 kbps, according to CNet.

What service do you use, Halx?

SecretMethod70 07-21-2007 11:10 AM

Oooh, I hit "back" like MexicanOnABike said, and I got 42500kbps! Sexy.

Kpax 07-21-2007 09:10 PM

My Internet is pretty speedy, and pretty spendy. $51.00 a month for "always-on" connection.

blahblah454 07-21-2007 09:12 PM

I ended up with around 700 and something, cant remember the exact number. I wouldn't mind one of those fiber optic connections though!

I'm gonna call bullshit. I wouldn't think one could copy from hard drive to hard drive that fast on a local machine.

Isn't 40 gigabits-per-second faster than hard drives are capable of? I think if anything is bullshit, it's the write speed. Does the file actually save fast enough to keep up with the download speed. Aren't hard drive transfer speeds measured in MBs still? Streaming is another issue.

791.3....affords me the time to do other things while loading...:orly:

Xazy 07-22-2007 08:30 AM

4142.1 Kbps, not bad I will take it (I have roadrunner). Now if only I had a better upload rate.

I'm thinking they mean that's the theoretical time it could take her. Those theoretical numbers are fun, but meaningless really. No one's got a server that could push that, and you're correct, her local HD couldn't begin to keep up with that.

snowy 07-22-2007 06:47 PM

I can do that too...http://reviews.cnet.com/7009-7254_7-...&&kbps=99512.2

NoSoup 07-22-2007 07:57 PM

2967.3 kbps...

alicat 07-23-2007 06:47 AM

"Infinity" got a chuckle outta me.

I got 99512.2 Kbps
