Your Internet Connection!

[FireFox]

Superfast broadband..... these guys have pulled 4 miles of cable in about 8 days, We have had torrential rain, sleet snow and 70 mph winds.

It won't take long before you realize that you have Super High Internet Connection

Im wondering how much quicker the standard internut will be.

The signal will be travelling down fibre optic cable whether i subscribe or not.

This was just now.

Faster as you can imagine.

I mean if i dont pay for high speed broadband will my regular service get quicker simply because the network is fibre optic.

will my regular service get quicker simply because the network is fibre optic.

well that is amazing

however for about $20, most homes enjoy
100 Mbps- far ahead of any other country.

Here is (Download/Upload):
$30 for 15/1 Mbps.
$35 for 25/2 Mbps.
$45 for 50/5 Mbps.
$90 for 150/15 Mbps.

I pay $20 for 5/1 Mbps.

I do not know if I will be alive when 1 Tbps becomes mainstream here. Just 6 years ago I was using 56Kbps modem.

Prices are approximate and should not be used for serious purposes.

$45 for 50 Mbps.

$45 USD = 38.7090 EUR

i pay 35 for that speed

 

[Blue-Knight]

i pay 35 for that speed

But what is your upload?

 

[FireFox]

But what is your upload?

i have 50/10

in a few months i should get 100/50

Still waiting on my high-speed cable modem from Optus >:*( despite already upgrading to the 100mbps down speed pack (2mbps up).

These are my speeds atm;

i like your ping

Using 4mb DSL internet connection, speed fluctuates but most of the time 300+ kbps. but overall very good. for online gaming wired connection is better than wireless, atleast in our country

Wireless is never better than wired. Ping in wireless connections are usually very high.

If you know a wireless connection that is better than a wired one in those aspects, please send an e-mail to me or call me at [removed].

Blue-Knight appreciates your interest.

so what i am saying??? i didn't say any different thing. if didn't understand my post then read it again and click to THANKS

Wireless is never better than wired.

He said the opposite

 

[The N]

in both downlaoding speed and ping wired is 100% better than wireless.

I know. I was just confirming your statement.

Somewhere along the lines I heard that as a rule of thumb, you're supposed to upgrade a link once it reaches 50% utilization. I doubt that's the case. If your connection seems to have slowdowns during peak hours, there's a pretty good chance fiber to your neighborhood will clear that up. If the line was only nearing saturation and not oversaturated, your only gain might be a millisecond or so better latency.

Recently I got VDSL2 installed, we're paying USD$63 for 2mb/768kbps(2.5/760 on speedtests), 195+ channels (which includes a crapload of radio stations sadly) and phone, the modem is actually connected at 27641kbps down / 1279kbps up as shown on the screenshot, but the speed is limited on the QoS part of the modem to 2800kbps or so, the usual admin/admin login only allows me to change wifi settings, all the other stuff on the Basic setup, Advanced setup and Management menu are blocked, so I cant remove that speed cap... ISP is Claro in Dominican Republic.

I'd be curious to know if an off the shelf modem will open those pipes up. DSL connections are typically limited at the other end of the line, but they must have to open the physical link up pretty wide to give you clear video and phone service on top of the 3Mbps connection.

It always bothers me seeing connections capable of so much being sold so slowly (assuming the backhaul can move it out too).

 

[NTM2003]

am i the only one that has slow ass ADSL
ping: 65
download: 90.00 kb/s
upload: 75kb/s
i cant get fiber optics where i am just cable which is 2mbs download speed.

thats interesting.

i havent seen any engineers actually wiring anything together yet as soon as i do i will be asking how they join fibre optic pieces together out in the field as it were.

So... ping should be quicker, though this doesnt really matter
less buffering
fewer slowdowns


BUT unless i upgrade to a high speed package my down and up speeds i expect will remain about the same.

It's very rare to see VDSL2 modems here in DR, Claro is the first ISP to use them, and only installs them for people getting one of the 2 most expensive tv packages, otherwise they install an adsl2+ modem, even if I get one I still need the PPPoE user/password, the only thing I know is that the username for that is "test", since the modem shows it, but nothing about the password of course... For adsl2-only modems the limit is set at their end and sync speed is set to 2336kbps (for a 2mbit plan), the same internet plan but including IPTV they install a Comtrend CT-5374 which has all the restrictions on the admin/admin login, the adsl2+ modems dont have any restrictions at all since they're capping the speed at their end.

I only have 1 TV box, but a friend has the same internet package and 3 tv boxes, they configured his VDSL2 service to sync at 12200kbps, so since he gets the same 2.5mbit, there's only like 9400kbps left for the 3 boxes, pretty sure in my case there's like 19-20mbit not being used at all.

For VDSL2 they offer 1-50mbit, for their FTTH 5-100mbit, they force you to pick a more expensive internet plan for those areas with FTTH, so if you want the 1, 2 or 3mbit plan, you cant get it... Seeing something like FTTH or even the service I got installed being capped this low is just sad...

Splice it together with a fusion splicer.

Thats a really good article and well worth a read, thanks for that link.
