Using my university RATS connection, on a good day when there are less people on both of these figures push 100,000. It takes seconds for <500Mb albums and few minutes for a few gigs. I think my e-penis just moved.

:cry:

I wish I could get fiber where I'm at.

I'm on a normal ADSL up to 8Mbps down, 448Kbps up, however because of the distance from the exchange (about 4-5 km), I'm connected atm at 2.4Mbps down, 448Kbps up. However, that often changes from a low at around 2Mbps download, or the maximum its ever connected at at around 3.5Mbps. It usually is about 2.5Mbps though.

As for actual throughput, it varies. 2 reasons.

AOL have an FUP, so I often feel the effects in terms of throttling and traffic shaping.

But also, BT's stupid BRAS profile idea. But simply, each maxDSL line has a BRAS profile. This changes depending on sync speed. However, it lags behind sync speed, and is set slower than sync speed. So If I'm synced at 2.2Mbps, I will only see 1,5Mbps throughput at best. Only if I sync at more than 2.4Mbps will I see a 2Mbps actual speed. To get 2.5Mbps throughput, I have to sync at 2.8Mbps. Retarded I know, but there you go. That's BT for you.

Right now I'm getting this:

not brilliant, but not that bad considering I'm on a 2Mbps profile (despite being synced at 2.4Mbps :angry:).

As for live. I haven't played many games on live, but those I have (CoD3 and PGR3) I have had no lag at all.

im suppose to be 5Mb down 800k up, but judging from the shot below which i took just a moment ago, I am clearly not. LOL- and no, never experienced lag on this connection (yet)- well thats a lie, I do experience lag in SF2 Arcade game , but really only against people that are playing from say ohhhh the Netherlands, lol.

Usually no, but lag is not really up to your connection speed under normal circumstances. It's about who you're playing with and their connection speeds relative to you. Typically, Xbox Live network code (depending on the developer, read: not EA) is pretty good at determining matches for you and as such I don't normally lag that much.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
