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.

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.

    • Jony Ive is reportedly working on multiple AI devices for OpenAI, including a mobile gadget

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Jony Ive is reportedly working on multiple AI devices for OpenAI, including a mobile gadget by Hamid Ganji Last month, OpenAI announced acquiring Jony Ive's startup, io, in a $6.5 billion deal. Ive, who served as Apple's design chief for over two decades, moved to OpenAI to work on the company's AI hardware projects. While the details of these projects have remained relatively untold, Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter revealed some exciting insights about Jony Ive's work at OpenAI. According to Gurman, Apple's former design chief is now spearheading a series of groundbreaking AI hardware products for OpenAI. One of these under-development devices is described as a "mobile gadget" that takes the form of a "pendant" and can be worn around the neck. This device could allegedly allow users to access ChatGPT with voice commands. Another of Ive's works at OpenAI is a home device that functions similarly to a smart speaker. Users can put the device on a table and perform various tasks using OpenAI's ChatGPT. Interestingly, OpenAI also has a robot device under development. As Gurman says, this robot "will likely be a machine that develops a relationship with a human using AI." However, OpenAI's robot is still far from being made available on the market. After acquiring Jony Ive's startup, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described Ive as the best designer in the world, adding that they can now work on the next generation of AI-powered computers. More details about OpenAI-Ive hardware products could emerge over the next few months. OpenAI was already rumored to be working on a mysterious AI gadget, presumably a screenless AI phone, which might be the same mobile gadget that Gurman revealed. While details of this alleged AI mobile are yet unknown, such a device could pose an alternative to conventional smartphones, raising the alarm for smartphone makers such as Apple, Samsung, and Google. Meanwhile, Apple might already be expecting such a device, as its services chief Eddy Cue allegedly said during his testimony at Google's antitrust case that iPhones might no longer exist 10 years from now.
    • Nintendo Switch 2 launches, where to buy and a list of games that it may not support

      By Kravex · Posted

      Seems Nintendo have already thought of that after the Joy-Con drift in the Switch 2 EULA: Clause 16 of the EULA reads: "This arbitration provision precludes you and Nintendo from suing in court, having a trial by jury, or participating in a class action. You and Nintendo agree that arbitration will be solely on an individual basis and not as a class arbitration, class action, or any other kind of representative proceeding. You and Nintendo are each waiving the right to trial by a jury."

    • Microsoft quietly burying a massive Windows 7 hardware driver feature as Windows 11 kills it

      By matthiew · Posted

      I can't say I ever noticed an OEM putting effort into user-friendly descriptions and icons who didn't also put effort into making good drivers. Usually, missing icons and descriptions was also a sign of bad drivers.
