Travel Technology - Curiosity only -- How to maximize 23Mbps transfer rate?

That is the speed I get at my house in my neighborhood. Present time, I am the only subscriber on my street with cable !!

So, theoritcally, what can I do at those speeds?

Hack anything?

Already downloading huge amounts of porn !!! (j/k)

the neighborhood has had fios verizon for about a year. i think the pipe is pretty big. i still test at 20/6 Mb.

i cannot tell the difference between this and the 3/0.5 that i had with comcast. the servers are all to slow to utliize 20+mb.

it is hard to find a place to get an accurate test, as there are bottlenecks in the pipeline between here and the test site.

The best test site I've found is the Chicago, IL location on the Speedtest.net site.

I tested 90+ MBps yesterday and am getting 61 MBps today- most of the other locations bottlenecked at 40-50MBps.

Wow...from work I assume?

Actually you would have gotten 61 Mbps....

(Megabits per second)

Network throughput isn't normally measured in MegaBytes per second.

A well seeded torrent is probably the best way to max out that connection.

You know, that, or you could hack the gibson.

Realize that the practical limit to 802.11g networks is much less than the advertised 54 Mb/s limit. To get the most out of your connection, plug your computer directly in to the router (as long as the router can do 100 Mbps/1Gbps ethernet).

The limitation in many cases is actually the router's ability to route traffic, which is frequently well below the 802.11g limit. This is especially true for lower-end consumer units, many of which will struggle to push more than 10Mbps through the device, particularly on small packet sizes.

Your point is definitely valid though - you will usually get better performance by connecting via Ethernet.

Interesting...I've never had a problem with mine. Though I guess it's running Linux. :)

you can hack stuff with dial up if you know your ........only way to pull off a ddos attack is to have more upload speed than your victims download speed....most ddos'ers hijack multiple connections in order to have the bandwidth to take out there victims....

a bit is 1/8th a byte.... so 23mbs is 2.8MBs.... mb=megabits, MB=megabytes...

you can download an 8GB highdef movie in under 50 minutes if you can maintain a full 23mbs downlink....

Yes - the 90+ Mbps (apologies for the sloppy nomenclature) was from the corp HQ of a major telecomm client. It was still probably bottlenecked at the test site.

60 was from a health care client - I was actually more impressed by that.

And no, I haven't found much to do with it other than test bandwidth test sites...
