cutting edge technolagy from good ol' mad german evil scientists!

       I am completly flabbergasted, 100Mbits/s?? That sic! I think my computer would flat out die if i tried to get him to take that. What the hell is big enough to actually make something like that usefull? Well, I know from my job at Uni that big data bunches are shoved over the internet. But still, 100GB in 1000seconds, thats under 20 minutes.   
       Invader Zim voice: "THE FUTUR IS NOW!!!!!"

well i dream to have that.. 100 gigs.. but than again whats the point of finishing manga and anime in one day?

i like to take my time.. (also i have a laptop only holding 80 gigs, i have dvd+rs but i dont really want to waste time burnin them or buying portable memory hardware for like 150 dollars)

but wats taking time is that the dam maintanence guy wont come.. and saying that they are just going to check the line..

cheap people.. been 5 days with my new "adsl" and hasnt worked!! what kind of karma did i do to deserve this?

well, just to add, and in my happiness. 3 weeks and its fixed

whooohoo.. thanks for the advice 😛

I'm at uni, i have a 100mbit connection. sweet stuff ;-)

Flaunt again and I swear I'll crusify your ass.

You have to be able to spell it right first...

😛

Ah... if only I could have 100Mbits/s connection...
But to add my 0.02$, a 100Mbits/s Lan connection is more than possible, however you would have a way harder time to get that (at home) from an internet service provider...
And even if you got that kind of internet acces, you wouldn't be able to use it to full 100% of it potentiel because most of you're hardware won't be able to keep up with that speed.
For exemple, the hard drive writing speed can hardly ever get to past 100Mbit/s, so you'll probably need to use 2 10000RPM hard drives in a RAID0 setup...
Well that was for hard drives... but I'm quit sure that somewhere all that data will have to slow down... and they probably won't be an easy fix...

Actually hard drives average around 35 megs a sec these days with really really high burst rates. Just look at SATA drives and what not. Even the EIDE drives can get really fast speeds, much faster than 100mbit. I download off our local dc++ hub at my school at around 11.5 megabytes per second, no prob, and that's on a 100mbit connection. Theoretical is what, 12.3 megabytes per second? That's pretty dang good. Honestly though, I seldom get more than 1-1.5 megs per second off of any commercial website. I get about 3-4 megs per second off of Apple and I'd have to go to some government or educational institution's site to really get more than that. The internet is pretty slow, so regardless of 100mbit, if you had a 10-15 mbit connection you could take full advantage of the best speeds. (Unless you torrent like a mofo... I have a screenshot somewhere around here where a friend of mine was seeding a aone naruto release with 90mbit for a few hours straight.. it was pretty insane.)

we have one here. offering the whole package for around 100+ Eur per month...
but you need specific cables and we don't have them where i live 🙁

it's the fastest line to get for normal users in germany right now. but as i said, very limited access because the needed wires are not available in too many cities...

Hmm didn't know that and I've never heard of it though i'm living in Germany, too.
The highest rates one can get commercially are something about 20Mbit/s with adsl2, when you really are lucky (you have to live in a big city etc.).
However I heard that in Korea, there are already connections getting close to 100 Mbit/s (something like 72 Mbit/s or so).

Edit:
😲 wanna see that Manick. I'm already happy when I get 90 kbit/s on a torrent

Yeah you're right I just couldn't think about a good choke point, but I'm pretty sure you'll have to encounter one at that speed...
And as you said, the net itself can't really handle that speed yet... but it's still good for downloading multiple things at the same time and ... WOW a 90mbit seed lol... the leechers must have been happy that day!

I got with supernova and want that picture, manick!
