Just curious about what kind of connection the average users of this site are using.
I can't Vote...I'm on 33.6K
but how much do you actually get HB?.. I get just around 5000 cps
What I wondered (and was about to post a poll for when Matthew posted his) was the correlation between high speed connections and high numbers of VBWorld posting (i.e. if you had a perminant connection at work you might stay connected all the time whereas if you had to dial up at 14.4 then you might post less often!)
Wheres the 64K-ISDN? and te OC12 and OC24 etc etc... :p
If I had one of those last 2 I'd have downloaded basically the entire internet by now :p
Me to, Im trying at the moment, but you wouldnt get full OC speed over the internet as traffic will slow it down, and your only as fast as the host :(
Still a weekend with napster and a OC connection will do me fine :D
Just give me an OC768, and I'd be happy....
*drool*
*drool*
What about two! :):):):):):):):):)
Ohhhhhh....huge transfer rates........mmmmmmmm......... :)
*sigh*
Somebody pass Parksie a tissue.
at home I juz have 56K modem with connection speed 26.4~28.8kbps :( While I'm at office, I got 128kbps ISDN connection :D
Hehehehe :DQuote:

Why do you ask for the connection type? I'd rather ask for the speed ... I'm on cable @ 2048 KB/s :D
Kilobits, or KiloBytes?
I'd expect kilobits...2GBytes a sec is WAY cool :)
I don't think cable will go up to 2 megabytes/sec. You hardly even find bandwidth like 2GB/sec on your motherboard, let alone an internet conn ;)
I think is KBytes (KB) and not Kilobits (Kb) :rolleyes:

Out of interest, what's the fastest in-PC transfer rate available, for anything?
its IDE i think (or what ever the hard drive is on)
then its Firewire
then US8 (8mb per sec)
then anything else is slow
SCSI is faster than IDE.
o yea... thats right
I meant on-board stuff, you know, cache-to-processor.....what sort of maximum speed does it get to inside?
As I said, 2048 KB (that KiloByte, KiloBit is Kb)
Well the system bandwidth of the SGI Origin 3800 computers is 768 GB/s :eek: :D :eek: :D :eek: :D
In my opinion it does not matter where you have that speed *hehe*
I want one!!!!!!
So you have 2gigabytes/sec transfer rates?
no, megabytes.
*hehe* yes. 2GB would be nice, but you won't be able to use that speed... just because there's no server that would give you that speed :D Hm, but you could try to download 1000 songs in Napster at the same time.. :) But I would not know that much songs ;)
How do you have cable that fast?!? how much does it cost per month?(I know you're in switzerland, and I couldn't get that service, but I'm just curious ;))
in India (at least in my town) cable costs.. around Rs 600.. thats $19 per month
That's very cheap, I have 512 Kb (downstream, upstream is slower) for £20/month here in England. I'm lucky it's available at all, most places you can't get broadband.
Wow Fox,
You gotta pretty nice connection for cable...
I have a cable, and the fastest I got was 500KB/sec (it was last night :D) but my usual rate is between 50KB/sec and 300!
I'm in Florida and I use Road Runner and I pay $40/month for it...
Hey, compared to a 56K, this is way too good for me... so I'm happy with what i got
-Emo
I got cable. The average rate is 60KB/s
120 CHF / month. Our provider has several offers, depending on the price you get bandwidth - of course I took the fastest :D
