Wuz up,

            A customer who has a 64kbps dl at 2k-4k isdn connection, is using 10mbps cable for cables, wants to change out the cabling to 100mbps cables  .She presumes that this change will make her connection faster. On reasoning alone , i told her this is doubtful because the cable supports 10mbps and would allow dl-ing at a much higher speed than 4k, so having a connection that cant exhaust the current cabling system you have now, and want a faster cable with the hope of  getting faster dl speed by gettinga 100 mbps cable which will give greater bandwidth throughput wont help.  (Is this wrong explain if so please?) 

Thank you!!

Her actual internet speed won't increase, like when shes downloading a file from a website. Changing from 10 to 100 on her lan the speed will increase if she is transferring a file from one computer to the other on the same network. Internet won't increase, lan will.

so what ur saying is information on the lan will be faster at full 100mbps and internet connection speed will remain

Yea, because the internet connection isn't getting any faster it will remain the same but since lan is increasing it will get faster. Saying that your internet will get faster because you upgrade to 100mbps is like saying if you wear roller skates on a highway you'll go faster  .

Yep, LAN transfer will utilize the full 100 mbps.
