My New Internet
« on: August 29, 2009, 10:30:42 am »
My new apartment is pretty sweet. Maybe the only thing better is my new internet. My boss said I could get whatever internet I want and the company would pay for it. We also got the premium cable. So I opted for their brand new (been out maybe a month) 50/mb line. Apparently I'm the second person to have ordered it, and the guy who came to install said it was his first time installing it. I got a brand new D3.0 modem to handle it and the guy even brought his supervisor because they wanted to see it action. Once everything was set up, we did a speed test:

I get 48.41 down and 1.28 up. (on 2/5 bar WiFi)

The up speed is what really counts when it comes to hosting. The down is great for streaming.

Datacenter hosting is usually sold on 100mb lines, it seems residential is getting closer and closer to those speeds. But the up speeds aren't up to par yet.

Man I love downloading torrents at 2 MB/s and still being able to web-browse lightning fast, talk on TS, and probably play an online game as well!
