what kind of connection would that be?

[Brian M. Veteran]

That's a fibre connection.

It's not that uncommon with large institutions - we have 100/100 fibre in the labs at Uni.

Direct from my Uni Halls:

:D

EDIT: I'll add that it's at it's slowest at the moment, much faster when it's early morning etc.

[gdodson]

It's probably an OC3 connection. The university I attended had 2 OC3 lines to the dorms and frequently gave me 80-90Mbps down speeds.

[aussiefloyd_fan]

dayum where do you get a 116 megabit connection? apple of course what do yall download there that requires that type of connection? hell im good if i get 1400-2000 kbps down on my isp

[sachleen]

you'd be surprised at how slow some of our stuff loads :-/

[majortom1981]

I have a 100/100 connection at work . its very fast but very few places download at that speed. the only place i have seen that comes even close is microsofts download site.

Heck i have a 30/5 connection at home that barely gets used.

In the north east there are a lot of low cost fiber companies for business. here on long island we use long island fiber exchange for our service.

Webcast: Building Applications for the 21st Century

75-year-old Sibritt L?thberg from Karlstad Sweden just got her first computer, but it didn't take her long to download all the necessary patches.

Swedish news site The Local reports that L?thberg's home has been tricked-out with a record-breaking 40 Gb/s connection - the first time a private residence has tapped into the internet at such high speeds.

The blazing-fast connection comes courtesy her son, Peter L?thberg, a Swedish optical internet guru working at Cisco.

Ma L?thberg's house was converted into a broadband dog-and-pony act in an effort to promote high-speed fibre connections as a commercially viable platform.

"I want to show that there are other methods than the old fashioned ways such as copper wires and radio, which lack the possibilities that fibre has," said Peter L?thberg.

According to The Local, the secret sauce behind the connection is a new modulation technique that allows data to be transfered directly between two routers up to 2,000 km apart - with no intermediary transponders. This allows information to travel over huge distances without data loss.

With her blistering connection, Sigbritt L?thberg will be able to download a full high-definition DVD in just two seconds. Now if only there was a place for a Swede to utilize such a speed advantage... ?
