When your internet provider raise the speed

[stuveltje]

I dont know if i say it right, but for what 4 time my internet provider raise the download and upload speed for their customers, i go from down 20Mbit/s to down 50 Mbit/s, up 2.5 Mbit/s to up 5 Mbit/s, for real , i am happy how all goes already, to be honest i never noticed when they raised the speed before, because i believe all have also to do with the speed of your computer and with the speed off the other website, where you are downloading from, say the other website can be a slow one, so even i have high speed download it still will be slow...right?
I also hate that i get a new modem, hell i get a new modem now for the 3 time, i think its not needed, i am happy already how all goes with my upload and download, still hubby said, take the new modem and enjoy the new speed, but then ...it also depends what kind of puter you have right? need some advice on this one. Btw the reason why i nag about this one, is..i get a new modem and i have to put some activating code in it and believe me...it will go wrong...like always.....and i HATE INTERNET PROBLEMS!

Stu<--- turns her back to all here on the board and pulls her jeans...and showing her holiday ass....come on guys and girls, just give me an confirmation that even i have an internet provider with high speed...if my puter is lower then the level of the internet provider....then its no use for me to have the new modem...right? oke and next time i will moon my non holiday ass that one will be smaller

I'd probably get the new modem. You still should possibly notice a difference and definitely will for streaming movies or uploading over ftp (provided your client and server are both configured to take advantage of the pipe)

One thing to watch is method of connection form say the cable modem to your computer. Is this a wireless router you use? If so depending on equipment and conditions you might not ever see that extra speed until you fix things (or get a new router - such as Wireless-N -- though even Wireless G is enough under good conditions). Likewise for wired connections. There still are people out there who use 10 Mbit/s ethernet adapters. You want 100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet) when you have that sort of bandwidth available.

And you're really lucky to have that. Here in the US it is typicalk to have 5Mbit/s Down and 250 Kbit/s Up. And we often pay $60 a month for it and the providers are trying to install low monthly caps so they can charge us more -- ridiculous amounts. You are EXTREMELY fortunate to have that available.

By comparison your connection is TEN TIMES faster in the downlink and 20 times faster for the uplink than mine!

I have a couple friends who have high-speed connections different then mine, one much faster the other slower, but when surfing the web I honestly can't tell the difference between my connection and either of theirs. There is a big difference when downloading videos or large files, though.

I guess it depends on whether you're just viewing pages, or if you're downloading lots of video content or something.

well we have alot of companies here who offer internet connection, i pay 95 euros a month (i have cable connection, on this moment the fasted one in holland) for the internet connection, unlimited surfing ofcourse, but with that price i also have 120 tv channels extra which also are the movie channels and the porn channels and my phone thing, i can phone to all in holland for free as long it are no 0900 numbers or mobile phone numbers. say its pretty cheap, but we have alot companies who offer deals here, like the one i have, i dont have a year contract, i can cancel every month when i want. oh and i use a cable to my modem, only my daughter use the wireless part of the router.

Fuck FoxyAngel too. I was at her place this afternoon and she was getting almost 10 megs down and 2 megs up on Comcast and her Comcast actually stays connected for weeks on end.

I have a friend new downtown Ft. Laud. that doesn't use the internet for anything except email and casual surfing and U-verse just became available where she lives.

I love where I live. I hate the archaic vintage utilities that I'm stuck with.

On the plus side I've gotten very good using ssh to do file transfers due to being stuck with unreliable slow goes down a lot DSL.

are you using --bwlimit on your rsync?

--bwlimit=24 doesn't seem to lag a 256k upstream much

I haven't been using --bwlimit at all lately.

I've tried --bwlimit=45 --bwlimit=24 --bwlimit=12 but all will make my Vonage unusable. Oddly not using --bwlimit doesn't seem to affect my transfer speed but my Vonage stays usable.
