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.

    • Microsoft updates Media Creation Tool with a newer Windows 11 release by Taras Buria If you want to download a Windows 11 image or create an install media, the Media Creation Tool app is one of the best options—simple, fast, and, more importantly, official. While there are other useful alternatives, such as Rufus, Media Creation Tool remains the default choice for those who simply want a clean Windows 11 installation on a supported computer. Thanks to the latest MCT update, you will have to deal with fewer updates after installing Windows 11. Microsoft has quietly updated the Media Creation Tool app so that it downloads the latest Windows 11 release, version 24H2, with build number 26100.4349. This is the most recent public Windows 11 update (June 2025 Patch Tuesday), which eliminates the need to download large updates for your PC after installing the operating system. You can download Media Creation Tool from the official Windows 11 website. If you are familiar with it, this simple app can generate a Windows 11 image with the language you need or create a bootable USB media. Note that it only works on Windows, so Linux or macOS users have to download Windows images directly from the official website and then use apps that are available on their platforms. Another thing worth noting is Media Creation Tool is not the right choice if you want to install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC. In such a case, you can use MCT to download an ISO and then create a modified install media with apps like Rufus or Ventoy as described in our dedicated guide. If you want a more exotic Windows 11 Edition, try the Oofhours Media Tool, which allows you to select Windows 10 or 11, architecture (x64, x86, or ARM64), language, and edition. In addition to standard Home and Pro, the application can download non-mainstream SKUs, such as Enterprise, Education, or Professional for Workstations. Via: Deskmodder
    • Putting premium on your higher end laptops really makes it feel like your lower end laptops are worse.
    • Funny enough just removed insta account and whatsapp is next. Less power needed now
    • If you only show the stop code and what failed for less than 2 seconds, what use is it?
    • How about using all that hot air Zuck spews? That surely can power something...
