Swimmer Posted March 6, 2006 CID Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yes you read it correctly.. That is like having a OC48 to your house! BTW that means that your computer is to slow to use all of the connection at one time :lol: Here is how that would stack up.. http://www.ci.keene.nh.us/library/intspeed.htm Orignal article: http://www.testmy.net/articles/article-449 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/11782-might-want-to-read-this-brittians-2gbs-connection/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted March 6, 2006 CID Share Posted March 6, 2006 That speed in Britain is like an oxymoron, because that's the only word that appriopriate for such rediculous things.

Swimmer Posted March 6, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 6, 2006 I doubt much.. cause it is a test.. most of the time it is either the same price or cheaper than what is available in that location. That way they get people to test the system.

php Posted March 6, 2006 CID Share Posted March 6, 2006 Ok, that would go under my definition of way too much The fastest most hard drives can transfer data in modern computers is at a 300Mbps burst... Not to mention you'll probably rarely use even a fourth of it at once...

asubaseball727 Posted March 6, 2006 CID Share Posted March 6, 2006 So downloading a movie would be faster than me currently loading a website.... I can't even imagine what the point of that could be. But heck, I'd take it Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/11782-might-want-to-read-this-brittians-2gbs-connection/#findComment-123912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted March 6, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 6, 2006 Not quite.. the hardware would limit to 1GBps so it would take a bit.. but under 10 seconds my guess would be... someone can do the calculations..
