You can if you pay more. It is all relative. Most people never use the bandwidth they pay for anyway. I guess it is worth it if you play games or something.

It is all relative. Speed is relative to main carrier backbones, current traffic, etc. It can vary by 100% depending on when tests are run.

A cable company will certainly sell you a faster link, but they may be limited with their backbone with contract to upstream carriers. Good sales gimmick though.

As long is web surfing is not lagging, little bandwidth is required by most.

1700kb sbcglobal is so slow

. I pay like 19.99 though, is there any cable internet for 20 bucks that runs super fast?

radix · 12-23-2008, 03:18 AM

For the majority of people, just remember that you're effectively limited by the 10/100BaseT connection running from your router to your cable modem, so you'll never see those super high rates.

100Mbp/s = (100,000,000 / 8) / 1024^2 = 11.92MBp/s

is the maximum theoretical rate for a 100BaseT link. Real world rates will of course be slower still.

i dont even think viagra will do it for my connect. i might need some prescription shit for this.

I just read the FAQ at speedtest.net and I think this test sucks. They're using HTTP server latency measurements to try to determine bandwith. Here, try this instead:

I know this speed is nowhere near the top of the list, but I figured I would post it anyway.

wow, I was surprised with my TimeWarner RoadRunner - I thought it sucked way more than this
