Re: Where's the fibre?

Why would they roll out FTTC or FTTH when lighting up RTs is so much cheaper at this point? Besides, even if they did and sold 10.0/10.0 connection plans, the modems and or PCs would be the bottleneck. Current consumer RAM and VRAM couldn't process data that fast. You wouldn't be able to see the difference.

One ping only, Please.

@emhril.ameritech

all of my computers here handle 100mbit LAN just fine.

My old 200mhz pentium machine seems to cope with serving up files at around 11,600 kbytes a second...

Consumer RAM is capable of gigabytes a second bandwidth.. the bottleneck is the network card/linespeed. And it probably will be for a long time.

I dont see japanese ISP's with 100mbit fiber having problems with ONU's coping...

thats the funniest post I ever read... you do know besides the processor the ram is the fastest component in your PC? like said above they are in the Gigabits/sec speed. The bottlenecks would be in the HD, and network equipment.

Maybe you should do more research on ram before posting something so stupid

Edit: and the differents might not be so great when browsing, but the latency and transfer speeds will be about 10 times better.
