| Re: SBC Unless they get terribly lucky, no. I couldn't afford cable TV back when I lived in KY 16 years ago. I moved north when as luck would have it, I didn't have to spend my entire tax refund on back owed rent. I got in on the very start of the internet boom, and now am back in KY again ... this time with a whole lot more earning potential.
Many of the folks that were here when I left are still here now, still in the same boat financially. In lots of the south, it's a 2 class system. You either own stuff and make lots of money, or work for $4.55/hr for those folks. You just wouldn't understand this, living in California. Down here it's a whole different world.

| Re: SBC I don't understand the true ethernet comment, as I don't understand the concept of fake ethernet. The speed of the port in a dorm has nothing to do with how much bandwith a school has. For all we know purdue could have an OC-384 and Penn could have 1 T3. A network port is only going to be a limiting factor if you max it out. Since 5-6mbps is not 10mbps, obviously 100mbps would make no difference. Considering at all times of the day download speeds were consistent, I wouldn't say we got hosed. I would suck if everyone was unrestricted on gigabit, since that would most likely saturate the school's internet pipe and give everyone slower speeds and high pings. | |

True as in full line-speed not some policy imposed fraction thereof.

Given that you mention Purdue, which is another Big Ten school, you should know that it's Penn State and not Penn. They are two different schools. The former is a large, state-funded (hence the "State" in the name) university system with campuses all over the state of Pennsylvania; the latter is a private college in Philadelphia with a well-known and highly respected business school.
said by insomniac84 :
could have 1 T3.
Possibly ...at one of the satellite campuses.
said by insomniac84 :
A network port is only going to be a limiting factor if you max it out. Since 5-6mbps is not 10mbps, obviously 100mbps would make no difference.
That's kind of an opaque statement. If you don't have port limit policies in place - i.e., you are allowed to speak line speed - it can make a real difference whether your network backbone supports 10Mbps or 100Mbps or higher speeds.
said by insomniac84 :
Considering at all times of the day download speeds were consistent, I wouldn't say we got hosed. I would suck if everyone was unrestricted on gigabit, since that would most likely saturate the school's internet pipe and give everyone slower speeds and high pings.
So, if everyone WAS unrestricted, everyone would be making 24/7 max bandwidth requests out to the Internet at large? And, if they weren't restricted, everyone would get LESS than 5Mbps? So, Purdue is a single broadcast domain and doesn't make use of a switched topology? Interesting. So, no-one at Purdue uses the Campus Area Network (CAN) to speak to other nodes on the CAN? No-one makes use of the campus central computers from their dorm rooms? If so, that would be a rather interesting utilization pattern.
I dunno. I tend to think the number of students that would be fully utilizing their in-room connections for a significant portion of the days is rather small. At large institutions, like Purdue, there are a TON of other things to do instead of sitting on a computer all day: football games and other sporting events (I thought that Purdue has had some fairly decent sports teams over the years) to attend or take part in, fraternity and other parties, etc. I admit that the college experience may have changed radically since I graduated. However, I still gotta think that most students are still out, away from computers, trying to get drunk, get laid and have fun. So, said students aren't sitting there just saturating the network on a regular basis.

Yes, because wireless penetration is definitely the definition of technology.
said by insomniac84 :

Both campuses? As in IU has one campus and Purdue has one campus? I was under the impression that Purdue consisted of more than one campus? Or, do the other campuses simply not count?
said by insomniac84 :

Well, unless you have full access to the infrastructure maps for both Purdue and U Penn (since you keep saying "Penn") or Penn State, I'm not really sure how you can make such an unqualified statement.

| I've got DSL over an "SBC" DSL circuit, with SONIC.net as my ISP. ASI (the "ISP-neutral" SBC company that sells the circuits), had a promo a few months back for their 6000/608 tier, $45/month (that they charge your ISP) for a 1-year term.
It tests regularly at 5M/500 using the tools here.:D
As far as real-world usefulness of that tier is concerned, the only place I notice the extra 3.5M downspeed is when I'm downloading from kernel.org -- I get my linux ISO images from there noticably faster than anywhere else!
Load times for a testpage (including a bunch o' JPEGs) served from my ISP's servers, and my server (in my office),
don't seem to differ that much from any third location. I now only store *really big* images at my ISP.
Ideally for me, would be a "poor man's T1" tier -- 1500/1500 or even 1500/1200, I would gladly give up all the incoming bandwidth over 1.5m for another 500K or so going out! | |

1 edit | 256k That's what my upstream is.
If I want to upload significantly faster, I'll have to plunk down $800+ a month for a T1.
The Comcast 4000/384 package is available to me if I paid an extra $10 a month and switched to their "Home Networking" service, but the speed increase is not significant.
Broadband in some other countries give their users multi-megabit upstream in addition to the multi-megabit downstream.

| 768Kbps-2Mbps I have SDSL, 768Kbps at work, a 2Mbps x 2Mbps Cable connection at work and 384Kbps at home.
Let me tell you, 768Kbps is sweet, 2Mbps, right now, to me, is the Holy Grail.
When I RDP into my home machine at 384Kbps, it's slow, painful and extremely laggy (VNC is even worse).
When I RDP into the machines connected to our SDSL at 768Kbps, it's MUCH more bareable, but I still experience the occasional slowdown.
When I RDP into the machine connected to the 2Mbps line, HOLY! It's like I'm sitting at the machine.
I hope the cable companies don't try to appease us with a measly 512Kbps upload, (had it during the "brief" RR Xtreme trials and it's nothing worth mentioning), we need a full 1Mbps in my not so humble opinion.

| No VOIP Here said by from article:
Then start piling on the applications: Voice over IP, for example, requires 40 to 90 kilobits per second per call. For a VoIP conversation in which both parties are simultaneously accessing the Internet over a shared, home-networked connection, even a typical 200 kilobits per second back channel may not suffice. “If you can’t perform data access at the same time [as using VoIP] then there’s no real advantage to using it,” says Pierce.
I don't even have 40 kilobits per second, let alone 90. I guess with my current plan, I won't be using much VOIP

| A good analysis, but misses a MAJOR point... ... that being that, due to the nature of TCP-IP communications, you simply can not support a 3, 6, more meg downstream pipeline on a 128k upstream pipe. Period.
I can affirm from our experience in the Verizon forum that uploads ARE critical to the more tech-savvy users, and it's not always because they want to do a lot of "uploading." They game, use their connection for business... sure, they have a lot of legitimate uses for actual "uploading," but a lot are just looking for a "reasonable" ratio upstream for their download speeds.
... and the remaining question, what do people upload? As I've already noted in Verizon... every e-mail attachment, every photo you want to share, here, in Digital Imaging... every attachment you make to your posts... not to mention a lawyer, for example, who needs to get the closing documents to the realtor by 7 am. from home, every architect who needs to work on a large DXF file at home, then get it back to the office or the client... it most assuredly isn't just P2P and filesharing and gamers; this is about the future of the internet. Those screaming downloads, moreover, are around at the level, now, where most users will never (at current tech levels - remember, VOIP, new technologies, and so forth, will place new demands as time goes by, but for the moment, anyway) fill their downstream pipeline - but they might suffer performance lags, because of delays created by a narrow upstream pipeline. And they'll never fully realize the potential those screaming wide open DL's can offer. Nor will they ever realize the full potential of this great new communications medium, if we treat it as a broadcast medium, instead of what it is... no more or less than a pure communications medium. We need another "broadcast" medium like we need a drain plug in the hull of a dingy. But the internet's promise lies in the fact that it's by design a two way interactive medium that can be used as the user needs to use it.

"Upload" and "download" are terms better suited to some nasty IBM mainframe-centred world (that I thought died in the 1980s).

| We should get more upstream! I've often wondered why many providers don't give us the full upstream potential of the existing ways to connect to the internet. Cable for instance can at least do 2MBPS upload, so why not offer a package like that? The internet is a multi purpose tool and everyone uses it differently. While some users just use the internet to check email and browse a web page now and then, and chat with friends or the like, others like myself like to actually use their upstream direction of their connection for such things as high quality multi-user voice chats with ventrilo or real time audio streaming or any number of other things. So why may I ask are providers so willing to give us downstream bandwidth which by the way I have no problem with, yet hardly any want to let us enjoy the potential of a decent upstream connection of 768K or better? I'm fortunate enough to have 768K upload and I'm loving it, but my cable connection which only has 2 packages, the best they'll give their users is just 512K when it's capable of more? Let's show off what DSL and cable are really capable of and not just in the downstream direction! So far in the whole country I've found just 2 ISPS that you can use cable/dsl to it's fullest if desired. The DSL provider is gwi.net and only serves Maine I believe, and the cable provider is optimum online. I'll be shocked if any other providers offer uploads at or above the 800KBPs barrier! | |

| Why you don't get more upstream When people DOWNLOAD they have to request the data (ie start a download, play a streaming video file, etc).
When people UPLOAD a lot of the time its unattended (P2P, uploading to friends, etc).
If you download a 50mb file on a 3mbit line, it takes only a few minutes. Then share it back out @ 3mbit on P2P and you can upload over 30 gigs in 24 hours. One of these two actions uses a lot more resources, guess which one?
All consumer broadband is OVERSOLD. That means even though your line may be rated at X-mbit, only a small fraction of users are actually using bandwidth. This ratio is commonly 1/20 (1mbit backbone for every 20mbit sold to consumers) and even can be up to 1/50 in some places.
So mix 3mbit upload, with P2P and warez monkeys and all of a sudden that T3 can only handle 15 users! Considering that kind of connection costs $10-15K/month, someone's gonna lose $$ | |

| Re: Why you don't get more upstream Well when I do want to send a file I just downloaded to a friend of mine I find myself uploading it to a friend's colocated server that is sitting on a 10MBPs semetrical connection, then uploading the file from there to my friend so he can get it at his max connection speed, not mine. Let's face it we do more on the internet then we did even 5 years ago. Of course faster upload will be used in part for p2p file sharing and related activities, I won't deny that at all, but does that mean we should never get the chance to see what else can be done with decent upload? we can do high quality internet broadcasts, or high quality real time voice chat to name a couple things. and if we ever want to do real time audio/video conferencing and have it be a decent quality audio and video that'll require decent upstream as well. Even latency will be a bit better. When I went from 128K upload to 768K upload, which is what I have now, my ping time to most sites went down nearly 7 miliseconds. Now that's probably not a big deal but who knows. Just my thoughts. I got 768K up the best I can get, so that I can use anything from p2p apps to being able to stream nice high quality audio and it works well. all I'm saying is if this technology can potentially do better than we currently get in the upstream direction then prove it! The reason downloads at least in p2p cases don't max bandwidth is obvious, you're downloading from users who's max upload is 128-384K and it would take several users at that speed to even max a 1.5MBit line. It's just amazing to me that most providers are more than willing to let us receive data at very decent speeds, but to send data, regardless of the type of data or purpose, we get hardly anything. OK enough ranting from me, I'll go back to enjoying my 768K upstream and my 6MBit download. | |

Wyoming, MI | 384? Better than the current 256 Seems like the current standard upload is 256. Even an increase to 384 would rock. | |

| Speed not a big problem Hmm...as of right now I'm pretty damned happy with my 9855/906 with optonline for $40/month... The no-server rule can get in the way though.
However, DSL upstream speeds are a joke nationwide; I mean, come on, 128k, 256k? Maybe I'm just spoiled with my optonline.  | |

1 edit | Re: Speed not a big problem i'm definitely not whining. I get 700 kbits on my upload on DSL. Get about 7 mbps on the downstream, but the up is nice. VNC works great on that, although not as good as on the LAN obviously.
I'll be moving in 2 months, and maybe I'll get 1024. As long as I can get 512 kbps I'm happy.
And the whole servers allowed with my ISP makes me happy. If only they were outside of Maine and New Hampshire. | |

Claremont, CA | Clarify In the article it says, " In other words, you’re likely to run into the 3-megabit-per-second cap about as often as hitting 120 miles per hour on the freeway."
Can someone clarify what that means. I'm a bit confused. | |

| I second that motion..... Would love more upload speed. I wish there was an option to customize bandwidth. For example, you can by a 2 Megabit connection and customize anyway you choose. 1000k down / 1000k up. 500k down / 1500k up or 1k down / 1999k up.
