LyncusBee	Posted - 2006.07.26 10:40:00 - [1] I am posting this message fom the world's fastest internet connection; Goonhilly trackingstation on the Cornish Coast, GB Unfortunately they don't have an EVE client installed so I can't test to see whether the claims of CTD's and disconnects are indeed due to players' connetions!! hame surely would be the ultimate testof all!!
Aloysius Knight Minmatar	Posted - 2006.07.26 10:46:00 - [2] so how fast we talking?
Antiochus Laetus Technology Acquisition Collective Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2006.07.26 10:47:00 - [3] I'm unfamiliar with "the world's fastest internet connection" please enlighten me. I really need a signature.
SengH Black Omega Security E.R.A	Posted - 2006.07.26 10:50:00 - [4] Pretty sure it cant be faster than the internet2 network that some universities have.
Chain Gang	Posted - 2006.07.26 10:53:00 - [5] 40 Gigabits Per Second ... is currently the record
Inanna Sumer Gallente	Posted - 2006.07.26 10:55:00 - [6] Originally by: SengH Pretty sure it cant be faster than the internet2 network that some universities have.

Benco97 Gallente	Posted - 2006.07.26 10:58:00 - [7] thats pretty cool but a lot of people forget that your speed doesn't count for much if the servers you are requesting info from don't pump it out at such high speeds. I see adverts for all these supermega 12meg connections and things like that and I think "well that's handy, i'll bet none of the servers I visit can handle that" Still, Well done, that's pretty cool.

Lacero Callrisian Minmatar	Posted - 2006.07.26 11:05:00 - [9] Originally by: SengH Pretty sure it cant be faster than the internet2 network that some universities have. I'm pretty sure all the data from those universities goes through Goonhilly. There's an army base about 5 minutes away because it's so strategicly important, theres nothing else in Cornwall worth protecting :) THUS IS THE SHAME OF CCP
D'onryu Shoqui Gallente	Posted - 2006.07.26 11:07:00 - [10] Originally by: Chain Gang 40 Gigabits Per Second ... is currently the record that is just a connection between some networks it cant really be considered an internet connection unless they can download from somewhere outside of there network at that speed.
Inanna Sumer Gallente	Posted - 2006.07.26 11:21:00 - [11] Originally by: Lacero Callrisian I'm pretty sure all the data from those universities goes through Goonhilly.

Avon Caldari	Posted - 2006.07.26 11:22:00 - [12] The internet in the US and the internet throughout europe (and much of beyond) meet at Goonhilly. It IS the trans-atlantic backbone for the internet, and carries more traffic than any other part of the net. I think, however, the OP my be refering to the internet cafe in the Goonhilly visitors centre. It provides (free I think) 100Mbps internet connections, which is damn fast for public access. Great place. Visited it twice. Impressive. The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur

Miss Overlord	Posted - 2006.07.26 11:26:00 - [14] the problem isnt so much how fast youre inernet connection its the bits in between and some of the quarks in the CCP eve system. IF everyone else on youre node is having data access send in get out issues it will affect everyone else on that node to a degree. That said bug reports are essential to let the devs know whats going on.

You're wrong there buddy. Being a Brit I recently signed up to BT Broadband, which was advertised as being up to 8MB fast. That is largely BS, since it varies on how close you are to major pipelines. Luckily for me I'm just above an exchange . Which means that on average my speed is 6.5MB/s, and occasionally reaches 8MB/s. Let me tell you, it makes a huge difference. Downloading the entire EVE client in 25 minutes. Downloading steam updates in a matter of minutes. Downloading the latest Veto video in about 3 minutes. It rocks my world. EDIT Forgot to mention, when I was using Verizon broadband in America, it totally sucked my left nut. Downloading the things I do would have taken 20times as long.

Lo3d3R Implant Liberation Front	Posted - 2006.07.26 12:04:00 - [17] Its not just the pneis size of you connection that will make you CTD or not, also the peering-partners of your ISP are of great importance as is the QOS of CCP's ISP in London. Above comment is only usefull if indeed the CTD's (connection lost)are not caused by a bug in the client software or a lack of smart coding in EVE's networking area. Some days are worse then others... there are days when I pop out 3x times in 15 minutes, then the next day its only 1x and sometimes non at all. Having tried pingplotter and the likes, it is a fact that when the CTD's occure allot my corp m8's usually suffer the same doom and they are from different country's. ___________________ Eating Chopped Bear:

I may be wrong though though, it happens fairly often. Oh your right about one thing but wrong about the other Yes you can't download faster than it an be supplied to you...but you can get a fair amount brought down (its great for mutiple downloads if you get a good download rate). The eve client on my 8meg is a 11 min download...770ish kb/s So yes not all servers can/will deliver as fast as you can take it...I can on the other hand have about 4 downloads going that can match the speed of your one, so even if i am pulling from a slower source I can still max out my bandwidth if i doing mutlipule downloads ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2006.07.26 13:07:00 - [29] If the "worlds fastest internet connection" makes my freighter go faster, then I want to be on it too - otherwise I don't see any real use of that extra 99.999999% of bandwidth you go. Else if you happen to work at Goonhill, I'll drop you an EVE-Files mirror for you to hook up on the backbone. Thanks. EVE-Files \| EVE-Search \| Monitor this Thread

(apology, the quote said pirate, ddint notice it was the pirate icon) Erm, how about YOU make no sense... Granted, he should be writing 8mbit/s and not 8MB/s, but he's right, you can get that speed connection. I'm on a 8mbit blueyonder connection. True, if i'm downloading from someone who only has an upload speed of 128k then I'm only going to download at 128k, but if I'm downloading from someone with 100mbit upload of course I'm much more likely to get 8mb... Yes, if the server is only on 128k then I'm limited to 128k, but honestly, when was the last time you downloaded something from such a slow server? True, for a generic web page the difference between 1mb and 10mb is barely noticeable, but if, like he mentions he does, you download lots of large files from mirrors with plenty of bandwidth, the 8mbit connection is fine...

Mtthias Clemi Gallente	Posted - 2006.07.26 16:36:00 - [40] 10mbit connection 4tw! dances
Witchking	Posted - 2006.07.26 16:52:00 - [41] Edited by: Witchking on 26/07/2006 16:52:05 BBC News had a story a few weeks ago about this place..... Story
Aequitas Spiritus	Posted - 2006.07.26 17:04:00 - [42] You can get 100mbit in nearly every major city in Sweden as a private citizen. Altough at least one of the ISP has a bandwith limit of around 300GB/month. I myself is living in the western mountains of sweden(like way off) and I got 22Mbit (would be up to 26 if I lived closer to the hub), and ofcourse i have tested the connection to make sure i reach 22mbit when possible.
Jansten Gire	Posted - 2006.07.26 17:20:00 - [43] As someone with a 30 Mbit/sec connection myself, I can assure you that the number of servers that will download at 10Mbit/sec or better out there is quite large. Most of the ones that don't are places that host files as their primary purpose; even then, they download faster than that for premium account people. I regularly pull downloads that top out around 27-28 mbit/sec on a single download from select sites, and even better from multiple sites. Don't kid yourself that an 8mbit/sec connection is overkill or worthless - you'll easily be able to use all that bandwidth on downloads.

(apology, the quote said pirate, ddint notice it was the pirate icon) Erm, how about YOU make no sense... Granted, he should be writing 8mbit/s and not 8MB/s, but he's right, you can get that speed connection. I'm on a 8mbit blueyonder connection. True, if i'm downloading from someone who only has an upload speed of 128k then I'm only going to download at 128k, but if I'm downloading from someone with 100mbit upload of course I'm much more likely to get 8mb... Yes, if the server is only on 128k then I'm limited to 128k, but honestly, when was the last time you downloaded something from such a slow server? True, for a generic web page the difference between 1mb and 10mb is barely noticeable, but if, like he mentions he does, you download lots of large files from mirrors with plenty of bandwidth, the 8mbit connection is fine... first you say I was wrong then you say I was right...which I was all along. His statement was contridictory to what he was arguing about, same as you. notice the red... FRODO HAS FAILED; BUSH HAS THE RING!!! The Hippo mating ritual

Avon Caldari	Posted - 2006.07.27 08:02:00 - [48] Originally by: Moon dragon /me wonders what kind of Harddrives can write data that fast How fast? 100mb/sec is only 12.5MB/sec - half the speed of most modern HD's in home pc's. My raid array writes at about 80MB/sec, which is 640Mb/sec - and that use pretty crappy drives (which is kinda the point of RAID)! The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur
