ok I'm at my dads work right now and the connection i have is amazing. I'm connected at 100mbps. now that might not be really fast but it sure as hell seems to be at least. bah maybe I'm just tired or whatever but its cool.

[Drunken Tiger]

wow!!!

Im on a 56k modem and im d/l a 5.4kb/s!!

:(

[MrCow]

lol. wow. I'm usually on a 56k and its rare that i get dls that high lol. usual 4.50kbps is the average usually less though lately

[Daarkseid]

100 megabauds? Either you're exagerating, or you're connected through fibre-optic backbone, my cablemodem service, which is about mid-range for broadband, only does around 650-750 kilobauds/sec

[obi]

100mbps? Thats what I have through my LAN connection to my brother.....

[Paradox]

my cable modem can only do about 100k not 100mb

[MrCow]

well thats what it is I'm looking at it say that right now speed 100.0mbps no lie I'll take a screenie if you want.

[plith]

And if your screenshot is just of some glitch in a nice crappy program you're using?

[MrCow]

which it very well may be but here it is anyways

[Mystery-Q]

no surprise
thats what i get at school when im pluged in to our special hub

[Darunia]

I have no idea my conection is... but I'm sure 100MBPS is a lot :D

[theplustwo]

thats just the theoretical throughput rate of your ethernet card, no biggie, thats not real throughput speeds

Try downloading some shit and watch the speed (but don't use kazaa, just your browser)

EDIT: if I check that same dialog box at my comp. it says 10mb/sec, although my sattelite provider limits our access to 768k per second (which is what we paid for) and it rarely reaches that, usually at about 200-300kb/sec. But that's still a whole lotta more fastness than dail-up. :D

[Darunia]

*thinks*

That speed would have been useful the other day, for that 3/4 of hour download... (That was a bit crazy. 45 minutes last, 10 minutes last, 35 minutes last, 9 minutes last, WTF?)

Click here (http://www.toast.net/performance) for a site that allows you to measure your actual throughput.

Also remember, no matter how fast your connection may be, you can only download shit as fast as the slowest connection in the chain. Back in the day, were you ever forced to download songs from users with 56K (or slower) modems over Napster? I did a couple of times, and it wasn't fun.

By the way, I get the message "connected at 100 Mbps" also... with your everyday cable modem.

[slothman]

I usually get 500 k a second. I once git it down to 4 bytes per second though.

[MottZilla]

I get 160kb a sec down on very good days. Ussually it maxes arond 140kb a sec down. My up is only about 16kb a sec up. That doesn't change really.
