T1 HAS ME SPOILED....ROTTEN!

[fredwest]

Hi,
FYI I have a T1 connection at work and it AWESOME..!!! I can't think of anything else to say about except that it's unbelievable!!!

I come from a 56k modem connection (which is 100%) to a T1 ......

Big downloads take minutes rather than hours.

I don't have time to surf during the day......but at lunch time etc I go online and look for MP3's....I've nothing better to do (apart from studying NT & NT Server).

But MY GOD. The speed of download is like a Mini vs a Ferrari. If I could have this at home.......:)

Example: an 11Mb d/l loaded in less than a minute. Now my modem connection can sustain a 5.6kbps connect provided the site can.......but...lesss than a minute!!

My God I'm so spoiled...


Yours

Declan (aka fredwest) :)

Yes. True bandwidth is increadable. Now for a trick. You can download that same file on 10 computers at the same time and hardly notice a difference. None of that "connected at" or other worries. The bandwith is equal to 24 (64Kb) regular phone lines combined.

Yeah, I work on a T3 connection and it rocks!! Although I do get to surf all day, too bad I can't d/l anything or it would kick major butt!!!...lol.....I'd be downloading stuff all day!!! :D

A T3... man that's sweet :)

I get a T1 equivilant at home! I have @home cable and the central station is like 4 blocks away from me, so I download at around 250-350KB/sec :)
