holly sh** what kind of modem is this?

[scotuk1]

while on kazza there somebody has this speed of 334.07 kb/s when dowloading from me(it took him or her 35 min to download 35min to download 650mb does anybody know what kind of modem they have,i have broadband which is pretty fast,but this was quick....

[SupremeDementia]

he could be on one of those 1Mbit lines. I've also heard about T3 lines as well as OC3 (rumour says OC3 can go to about 1gb minute, doubt it tough)

[zzyzzx]

There is also a decent chance that they are not very far from you.

copied from a website describing the different pipelines

T-1 - 1.544 megabits per second (24 DS0 lines)
T-3 - 43.232 megabits per second (28 T1s)
OC-3 - 155 megabits per second (100 T1s)
OC-12 - 622 megabits per second (4 OC3s)
OC-48 - 2.5 gigabits per seconds (4 OC12s)
OC-192 - 9.6 gigabits per second (4 OC48s)

bear in mind, there are 8 bits in the byte/ so divide these numbers by 8 for the actual bytes per sec

I have that kind of speed with a cable modem before on MIRC, but not Kazaa. My high on Kazaa was around 250.

Yeah, one time with my cable modem, I was getting 500+ kilobytes per second. But now they cap their customers to about 250. He could just be on an uncapped modem

if you are on cable and on the same node or very close to where you are downloading, you will get a quicker connection. why? cause the data doesnt have to be routed anywhere, it all stays local.

The fastest I ever got on my cable modem was 1.5 mb/sec.

Same for most people... when I USEd to have a cable modem (lost it when I moved, stupid small town) I once got connect to a hotline server that suddenly broke what I thought the thing was even possble of... stayed that way with this guys server for 2 days then went back to normal... all other access was standard speed.

Also a guy I know lives in a capped cable modem area but until recently he himself had never had a cap set... and well... WOW!

Holy Shiz i wish i could download at that speed. I still have a 56K modem that only connects at 28.8 K. Broadband is not available where i live(except for 70 dollar a month satellite). My download speeds are 2KBS is ok 3KBS is speedy.

[SteveDVD]

i have 56k....my record is 7KB but 5KB is nice...lol

Well, I use Earthlink Cable which is provided by Road Runner. My download cap is 2Mbits per second, so I reguarlly get that.

It's starting to become common (From what I've seen) for Cable to be around the 1Mbit download.

Or you could be in Canada and have Shaw or be in the Tri State Area and have Opt. One of those.
