DSL is 100MBps. I have it. 56k sucks ass. I used to be on it. I almost killed myself. (literally)

No... There is no 100MBps DSL. I am assuming that you are reading your Local Area Connection stats and seeing the 100MBps. What that is, is your network card is connected to your router/DSL modem via a 100 BaseTX ethernet connection.

That's what I was saying. I connect at 100Mbps. Actually my computer is Linksys wireless, so I connect at 11Mbps. My roomate's computer is on at 100Mbps.

i hate waiting in a queue...

on irc, kazaa, or even gamespy...

but i dont mind gamespy keep going with their subscription service scheme because bandwidth is really expensive and they need that to afford the super high traffic they have

seriously, a company with bandwidth that big... its wonderous why they didnt think of charging sooner...

no.. i'm not on 56k.. and no, you dont have 100mb dsl.. the lan is 100mb.. dsl is "512kbps" or basically 50k like i said..

The MB doesn't mean "mega byte" it means "mega bit." There's a difference. A 56K connection means 56 kbps. It only downloads at 4kbps. I don't know how fast dsl is, all I know is that I download at 150 Kbps.

actually, MB is Mega Byte, and Mb means mega bit

56k is mainly referring to the upload speed, which is much greater then the download speed.

Jason425 09-26-2003 09:35 PM

well i DL at 50 give or take a few K.. whoever made it mb and mb.. and kbps and kbps.. need to get canned...

Uranium-235 09-27-2003 12:01 AM

I think charter accidently uncapped our speed, i've been getting this for the past few days...

and on an accurate speed test (RIT NDT) I get 1.9mbps

eviltechie 09-27-2003 12:43 AM
