Atlanton Marcus	Posted - 2006.02.28 22:37:00 - [1] I interested in how I can maximize the speed of my internet connection. Currently my family has a partial T1 setup with 512kbs incoming/outgoing which comes with a package of 8 phone lines. We are going to try out a 1000ms incoming DSL line pretty soon, but that's besides the point. The T1 line goes into a hub where 4 lines are being used, 3 going directly to computers, and 1 to another wireless hub. My personal computer, and two other computers are connected to this wireless hub. At the moment, the max I can download for an extended period of time is 59 kb/s. I'm sure, but this seems horribly low with my given connection. Also, recently I have been disconnecting from Eve quite a lot, and websites have been taking a while to load. Is there anything I can do to max my download/connection speed? Thanks
Ebedar	Posted - 2006.03.01 00:44:00 - [2] I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but your current line speed is 512 kiloBITS. 1 kilobit = 0.125 kilobytes 512 x 0.125 = 64 kilobytes/sec download So a consistent download speed of 59 kb/s is pretty decent. Anyway you can go to ADSLguide to test your true line speed. One Step Further

Enexara	Posted - 2006.03.01 02:03:00 - [4] What Ebedar said is correct, it's something a lot of people get confused about so just to clarify: Your connection speed is measured in kb/s (small b, kilobits). Your transfer speed is measured in kB/s (big B, kilobytes). There are 8 bits in a byte, so to work out your maximum transfer speed from your connection speed, you can simply divide it by 8: 512/8 = 64 kB/s transfer speed As Ebedar said, 59kB/s is absolutely fine, seeing as your very rarely going to get your maximum transfer speed (because of line attenuation etc.)

You can certainly play any game with that, just no insane torrenting. Mine is 43 USD a month... the 30k connection is 60 USD. The best you can get for 15 bucks here is dial-up. The cheapest DSL is like 30 bucks a month. [23] Member: Official Forum Warrior What's with the blue robots? Click my sig.

Kantamos Melakanos	Posted - 2006.03.01 19:21:00 - [8] Okay thanks for all of your input... It has been very helpful. I think I plan on upgrading to a higher internet speed, becuase I was under the impression that internet in excess of 1000's becomes horribly expensive. Do you know of any databases or websites where I can find a fast, and cheap broadband provider?

Xrak	Posted - 2006.03.01 20:21:00 - [10] In UK here and got the standard "512k" line. 512kbps download and 256kbps upload I actually connect at 576Kbps, max dl ive ever got for a decent amount of time is about 61kBps and 30kBps down and up respectively. Realisitically I can get about 55down and 27up when on a good torrent, (uploading at 30 seems to bottleneck the dl to about 45 dunno why). ú17/month 512k unlimited.
St Dragon	Posted - 2006.03.02 03:03:00 - [11] I use BT broadband 1 meg connection can afford 2 meg but my line cant support it aparently What i have is great for eve tho run 2 accounts and has this browser open too no lag [especially after the upgrade ] ----------------------------------------------- "Kill one man, and you are a murderer.

Atlanton Marcus	Posted - 2006.03.02 19:50:00 - [16] I live in California, and I'm wondering if there are any broadband provider databases so I can find the fastest speed for the best price. I live in a semi-rural area, and DSL just became available in our area. Putting in the T1 lines was pretty expensive, so I want to make sure I don't waste my money on something subpar. Thanks again
Atlanton Marcus	Posted - 2006.03.06 04:48:00 - [17] I apologize for the double post, but... Right now, I am looking at a DSL provider that is offering 7100mbps/768mbps with 8 static ips for $150 a month. Do you have any suggestions in picking a internet service or provider? Thanks again
