Ping help

Australia has awesome internet they are releasing VDSL2+ 100mbit thats god damn lan speed. Much better than other contries. and yes its a DSL technology no cable crap. should be good as for your ping, what ISP you with?

I hate to break this to you, but you won't get 100Mbps connection over old copper lines.

First of all DLS is distance sensitive, so you'd have to live close to a Central Office in order to get decent noise margins (and higher rates). And second ... even if they extended it, it'd be the same principle: you'd need to live close to a repeater.

Here in the U.S. they're rewiring all homes to have fiber optic wiring instead of old copper. And they're still selling standard "8-20Mbps" connections. Saying you'll have 100Mbps lines is a bit exaggerated. You're probably confusing the standard LAN cap of 100Mbps with the ISPs throughput.

In either case: I'm all for people getting higher bandwidth. So if you do end up getting 100Mbps of private bandwidth to your house more power to ya!

I know this...
They are replacing the copper with fiber also some older houses will need re-wiring. Also opening new exchanges, our network is alot different from yours. The government (the new one that just came in) is also pumping money into the project which is rad. Im not saying its going to be quick but it will happen they are starting in 2008 at a rate of 15 exchanges per month. The ISP pioneering the technology in aus is Eftel: http://www.vdsl2.com.au/

not much difference between 3200miles and 100miles
i have a ping of around 200
my lag is cause by my dum com LOL

meant 2 have 8mb internet

[fl00d3d]

If you're on 'copper' (cable modem) then its shared bandwidth. So that means everyone on your network segment shares 8MB. You don't get 8MB to yourself. It's a little trick they like to pull. But if you're on DSL, you should be getting close to your full speed unless you live far away from the Central Office (telephone company).

No one can ever hit their 'full' potential because of TCP overhead. You gotta subtract a little bit of bandwidth here and there. So if you had a full 8MB a speed test would probably show 7.5MB on your best day, anyway.

im supposed to get 8mbps, not many people around here use mediacom so my connection pwns =D. as for distance, prolly doesnt make much difference .

[fl00d3d]

yeah, ecstasy you're getting your full 8mbps. The 300k or whatever that is missing is probably overhead.

[ratty]

Well im only suppose to be getting 3mb cause well this is Michigan and its like $40 for 3mb connection =S we get ripped =( guess they bumped me upto 5 =D

[hilary4u]

see if i wanted a 2mb connection im looking at $120 monthly and i just dont have that kinda money, so now im sitting on paying $80 monthly for a 1500/256 connection why cant they be cheaper ((((

[hilary4u]

=O no freakin way thats like dial up. your ping is really good though. defintly shouldnt be that slow for 80 a month. this is from when i had dial up...

[StoneCold]

wat u guys think im not sure wat to think lol


this i seriously did for fun lmfao
