O-O-One Gigabit per second?!

Thats where I want to live...

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"]tofu-lion91

Should be getting 10mb...

they have this because their ISPs don't have monopolies on the lines.
In the US the companies control the lines. So most ppl have only 1 or 2 options for internet. so really they have little incentive to be cheaper or offer better service.Ontain

It's virtually the same over here, BT controls the lines but allows anyother company to use them. However if you want high speed at a good price there is only really Virgin Media and they run a completely private network.

And our government wants to spend $43bn to get 100 megabits per second to everyone in the country ... even if they did this it would still be behind the rest of the world ...

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"] I get 2MB if I'm lucky. T_TMushroomWig

I...I'm sorry. :(

mine is roughly half the DL speed and a little higher on the upload:(

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"]You should be! *checks* That's what it is now, pfft. T_Ttofu-lion91

Drr... this is half of what I usually get, and maybe 1/3rd of my usual upload...

Ok, here's mine. I'm using this 1Mbps Streamyx broadband. My internet connection was ok but mine's download speed was very poor but still enjoyed it.

:o Holy ****. Nice!

The government needs to do something here in the UK... if they stopped arguing about who is the least competent and starting forwarding some ideas to improve this country's Internet standards both technologically and comercially I would be chuffed.

i just read this article and Cisco unveiled new internet technology that can download speeds of up to 322 terabits a second, but i don't think the 90k price tag is worth it.

This is my friends and he's playing on XBL as well, plus I'm connecting via wireless.

I'm somewhat surprised.

Wha-wha-wow! Our stats are almost exactly the same! We have the same ISPs and live in the same area! We could meet IRL! :shock:

This is my connection.

"Well in Cisco terms, the router will be able to provide download speeds of 1 Gigabit per second for everyone in San Francisco, download the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress in 1 second and stream every movie ever created in less than 4 minutes."

Ah, ah, ahhhhh!.....Nerdgasm.

The $90,000 price tage is almost worth it. Wait, we should start a fund raiser to buy these routers to send them to our fellow Gamespot users that need them in the UK. They need it more than anyone else. Let our European brothers and sisters suffer slow internet speeds no more!

This is my uni's internet.

It's no gigabit a second, but it's all right.

Sounds like a pirate's dream.

Mine sucks.
