1 edit | 15 minutes to make a CD...that means download and burn buddy, please read and think before ya post  ! takes twice as long to find the music and download it then burn it than it does to download. It only takes about 1.5 seconds for me to download a 4 minute song.

| 4 minute song in 1.5 seconds? Either you are lying or you are clueless. A 4 minute songs, even just a 128 kbit/sec is about 4 MB big. If you claim to have 1.5 Mbit/sec down, it would take you at least 22 seconds to download, assuming there is no connection overhead. In reality, it would take at least 30 seconds.
Also, at your 256 kbbit/sec upload, you couldn't use VoIP, host a server and play an online game all at the same time. I just uploaded 80 MB in digitial photos to Kodak. Even on 600kbit/sec upload it took forever. 1 mbit/sec is not nearly instant. And future households will feature more VoIP, video conferencing, online gaming etc. 1 mbit/sec may be good enough for you, but plenty of people want more than that. And what's this talk about improving line quality? They have to lay down a new connection to improve your line quality. Offering faster internet usually just requires some central equipment to be upgraded. |

2 edits | You know, it all depends on the person you're downloading from too. I bet their upstream isn't more than 384kbps, most residential broadband users are capped at 128k or 256k. So how the f@#$ am I going to download it at 1.5mbps, therefore 1.5 will be just as good as 3.0 when downloading music from p2p. I'm not clueless. I know what the hell I'm talking about, 4 minute song can very well be downloaded in a second and a half. I never said the song was 128k....ever hear of mp3pro? Songs that are 64k are still as good as 128k, and smaller. You get decent sound with even a 32k (FM Quality) mp3 pro file.
My burner is a bit slow and sometimes it's hard to find songs, but that has nothing to do with the DSL. Thus causing the process to take longer. Plus I throw all my music in the editing program to make sure there's no delay, and that the song starts as soon as the track begins (call me a perfectionist but I'm a DJ). Then I must run the songs through volume leveling.
And did I say I was hosting a large server? no. Mine are transmitted to a larger server. I run an Internet Radio Station at 32k, I can have as many listeners as I want because it shoots to the Live365 server. The email server goes through our web hosting. I run a small server that is transmitted to a larger server. So the short answer would be yes, I am running servers.
