BKY1701 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Why is T-2 even on the list? Only places I can think of with T-2 (or T-1 for that mater) would likely have MORE then T-2. I have Cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Data 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Comcast Cable which is really speeding up lately. I believe it is up to 4.5Mbps now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BKY1701 0 Posted June 16, 2005 I believe it is up to 4.5Mbps now. 331265[/snapback] That’s impossible, coax can’t support that speed. I think you are thinking 450 Kbps (that's a much more realistic speed). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eratosthenes 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Well...I said LAN, but it's really that we have a wireless LAN hooked into a DSL connection which is really a modified dial-up connection! :huh: Did I put down the right choice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Data 0 Posted June 17, 2005 OK, here are the benchmarks. DSL is over 450K http://www.comcast.com/dreamhome/dsl.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BKY1701 0 Posted June 18, 2005 OK, here are the benchmarks. DSL is over 450K http://www.comcast.com/dreamhome/dsl.html 331460[/snapback] That's download speed; not connection speed, there is somewhat of a difference... and I think we may also have confusion with MBps vs. Mbps (the cap on the b makes it a different measurement, B is byte; b is bit). Only thing I am sure on is this B vs. b vs. BM is confusing, so, thank you; good bye. *leaves topic* :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Holland 0 Posted June 18, 2005 I've got SBC Yahoo! DSL, and it is the worst ISP I've ever had. Every month it stops working, and I gotta call tech support, and it's not even that fast. I clocks out at like 650kbps, where Verizon DSL is 3.0mbps, for comparison, there are 1024 kbps in one mbps, mbps is Mega Bits Per Second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) you think 650kbps is bad, try my dial up internet. I got 45.2 kbps... on lucky days, i get 48.0kbps... and now you think ur internet is bad? EDIT: letters mixed up Edited June 18, 2005 by LordOfTheBorg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, a broadband, modem speed varies quite a bit in speed. It depends on the site you are browsing. Many sites do not support Cable speed. In fact, some sites do not even support DSL speed. Also, there are 8 bits in a byte. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
