I could download my vidya games in seconds...christ...

I think it would be better to work on bringing the 1Gbps to more places than 10 to a few areas.

blacktiger3713d ago

I agree! I am still waiting from up North! Toronto! We got retarded competitors are no different than At&t and Verizon!

gizmig3713d ago

Totally agree. In India you have to face problems even with the connection of speed with few megabytes only.

ajax173713d ago

Damn, I'd be happy with 10mbps...

Spiewie 3712d ago

Well I'm supposed to have 25 mbps but in my area the top speed is 2.4...... hardly anyone will get 10th gbps xD

ITPython3712d ago

It's 25 megabits per second, not bytes. And there is 8 bits in a byte.

Therefore 25/8 = 3.1 megabytes per second. Your getting 2.4MB per/s, which is pretty close.

Google fiber @ 10Gb per/s will be 1.25 gigabytes per second download speeds... which is absolutely insane!

Spiewie 3711d ago

nope my offer states mega bytes xD good point though.

ITPython3711d ago

How much are you paying a month? Cause if you are paying for a 25MB (200Mb) connection but only getting 2.4MB download speeds, then that should be unacceptable.

Around here, if we had speeds of 200Mb, it would easily cost $300-$400 a month, if not more. That is a HUGE amount of bandwidth, and something usually only big companies need if they are hosting servers/websites that get a lot of traffic.

I wouldn't rule out a typo or general misunderstanding of the term on the ISP's part, as a lot of people interchange megabits and megabytes, even though they are completely different. All of the ISP's I have seen always choose megabits because it is a higher number and looks more appealing to the consumer.

And for the longest time I always wondered why my ISP's claimed speeds were so much higher than what I was getting, then I divided by 8 and those numbers made a lot more sense.
