Am I the only one with this connection?

Nope I have

--> adsl show rate
Data Path : Fast
  Downstream Bit Rate : 2272 Kbps
  Upstream   Bit Rate : 288 Kbps
-->

:cool:

Maxed out at 340kbs Down and around 38kbps UP.

No Caps either.

I kindof skipped the 1MB and went straight to 2mb. Will be moving to 8MB this summer.

What's the use for a 10Gbit connection when you can't even write data that fast.

10Gbits is about 1Gbyte a second, don't know any disks which write that fast, maybe UCL uses SCSI hard disks.

The best connection which is worth getting is a 1.5Gbit, this speed will allow the data to be written as it is downloaded per second.

4meg/256kbit here, good ole Telewest :)

UCL's internet connection (University College of London) is 10Gbits/sec  :woot:  :woot:

yup telewest if by far the best ISP here in uk, well i know defo for midlands lol, i have got 1mb, topped it out at 131k/s, soon to get 2mb in summer hopefully though. :D

4000/384 through comcast high speed (yea, thats a joke) internet. Thats only if my modem works.

I love comcast. Been with them since 1996 (when they were @home) and they still refuse to replace my dying 5 year old modem.

When i move up to william paterson university they have a 4000/1000 connection when it feels like its 100/100. Damn college networks.

I'm on 10mbit university network atm...so in theory I can get up to 1.25MB/s download, but it rarely goes over 1MB/s when downloading large files on fast servers (legally :p )

edit: With a 500MB limit on traffic per day (upload + download)...between the hours of 8am to 8am. Weird times really.

    • Mozilla really needed to focus on their core product for a while now. I will not mourn the death of pocket or AI garbage. One thing they don't do that I believe they should is advertise more, and not just to their core audience, especially their additional services. Let people know they actually exist.
    • Is this like tailscale?
    • I had no idea you could do this, thanks for the heads up!
    • Bonkers, really, when you think about the resources at Meta’s disposal.
    • You can now use Gemini in Google Forms to summarize responses by David Uzondu Over the last few months, Google has been aggressively pushing its Gemini AI into every corner of its Workspace apps, like generating entire documents from a prompt in Google Docs or creating fully editable charts in Sheets. Now, the company has set its sights on Google Forms. The latest update introduces a feature that uses Gemini to summarize text-based responses automatically. For any form with short-answer or paragraph questions, a new "Summarize responses" button will appear in the Responses tab once you collect more than three entries. Clicking it prompts Gemini to read the form's title, questions, and all the submitted text to spit out a summary of the key themes. Though Google bills this as a fresh expansion into Forms, we have actually had some Gemini intelligence in the app for a bit through the "Help me create a form" button. That feature, which drafts questions for you, was rolled out through the company's Workspace Labs program. For those unaware, Workspace Labs is basically Google's public testing ground, available in select countries, for new, and sometimes unproven, AI tools before a general release. Once a summary is generated, you can copy it to use elsewhere or hit "Retry" to see if Gemini comes up with a different take. If new responses roll in after you have generated a summary, you can click a "Refresh" button to update it with the latest data. For now, this feature is only available in English, and to use it, you'll need access to a paid Google Workspace plan, such as Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, or Enterprise Plus. It is also available to customers who pay for the Google AI Pro and Ultra plans or specific Gemini Education add-ons. The feature has started rolling out gradually, for Rapid Release domains, and will begin rolling out for Scheduled Release domains on June 26.
