Nope I have

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.

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.

    • Ex-Microsoft executive: Xbox strategy is chaotic and company's console business is dead

      By Nargg · Posted

      Xbox is going a new route. This girl is just upset because she was ignored and has a different opinion. My opinion is the stretching out of Xbox to other platforms is awesome! Having a unified software model on different platforms is the future. Focusing on one device is so 1990's. The basic hardware is no longer the focus of the majority user base. It's the software, and the availability of optional hardware solutions. Heck, if one size fit all we'd all be using iPhones. This doesn't happen in the real world. And Xbox is going that route. Hats off to Microsoft in this move.

    • AMD 25.6.3 driver brings FSR 4 support for GTA V and Monster Hunter Wilds

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      AMD 25.6.3 driver brings FSR 4 support for GTA V and Monster Hunter Wilds by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe AMD's driver team is busy this June. The company just released its third graphics driver of the month, and this one is focused on expanding support for FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling tech. A handful of bug fixes are included in this release, too. AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional driver is finally bringing FSR 4 support for Monster Hunter: Wilds, the Capcom-developed action RPG that released earlier this year. The title is well known for its performance issues, so the FSR update should help RX 9000 series owners get more frames without losing too much graphics fidelity. Next, the driver also delivers FSR 4 for Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. The expanded and enhanced version of the title featuring ray tracing and other features only hit the PC platform a few months ago, and now, latest-generation Radeon graphics users can use the upscaling tech to improve their frame rates. AMD has also fixed an issue with FSR 4 in this release that made the technology not enable properly on a bunch of games. They include DragonKin: The Banished, Blades of Fire, RoadCraft, The Alters, Star Wars Outlaws, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. A Black Myth: WuKong crash on the RX 7650 GRE GPU and a The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered texture corruption issue on the RX 9070 XT have also been resolved in this release. Here are the known issues that AMD is still working on: Stutter may be observed while playing games with some VR headsets at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rate on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to change the refresh rate as a temporary workaround. Intermittent system or application crashes may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series and Radeon™ RX 9000 series. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Monster Hunter Wilds with Radeon™ Anti-Lag and Instant Replay enabled. Stutter may be observed while playing Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 ‘Verdansk’ map on some AMD Graphics Products. Stutter and lower-than-expected performance may be observed while playing 4K resolution YouTube videos in Chrome. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to play videos in full screen as a temporary workaround. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional update is now available for download from the AMD Software app as well as AMD's own changelog page for the driver.
    • It's been four years, and I still don't have a strong enough reason to upgrade to Windows 11

      By timothytoots · Posted

      So, basically, Windows 11 is the 'new Windows 7 'cause everyone's ignoring it? Guess my Windows 10 machine and I will just live happily ever after in our secure, familiar bubble... until four months from now. Then we'll figure it out. Probably.

      Are you sure you are not mis-understanding a use case for Windows 11 where it fails? Your experience does not negate another user's dislike of something. I.E. don't be dismissive just because you haven't experienced something they have. That makes you look bad.
