Cablevision Offers Fastest Internet Connection in America: 101 Mbps down, 15 Mbps up

[ell]

25 Euros per month including 100 channels cable TV

SWEET JESUS CHRIST thats fast, do you get that speed all the time? in london the fastest we get residential right now is an unmetered 50mbit/1.5mbit which is £35 a month, the same ISP is testing out 100mbit/5mbit coming out Q4 for £50 a month! cant wait. think about what speeds we'll have at these prices in 10 years.. only been just over a decade since I was using a 28kbps modem really..!

I hate all you people. I am stuck with TWC in So Cal where TWC's nodes are oversold and I only have a 1.5/384 line. I guess its ok. I don't D/L alot, but would be nice to have at least a 6/1 connection.

Come to think of it, Kiwi's Internet bandwidth rapes my HDD's

Oh yeah!

[Movieman]

What details you wanna hear? Basically it's a nice company offering next generation network connecting every home using 1Gbit (10Gbit fiber between their own switches/routers)

And your not on our MJ12 team?
You could turn that connection on just when your sleeping and outdo what I do in 24 hours solid!

[randomizer]

kiwi, what speed do you get when you're not trying a server that is 1 hop away?

[Brother Esau]

There is a large lack in the backbone structure. I dont even think 5% of all internet users can peak their connection before it would be filled.

Yeah I also noticed the 1ms ping and the less than 50 miles.

[jaredpace]

woohoo, charter cable!

[DragoonXX]

thats with the shaw speedboost...
15/1, 51 bucks a month, 100GB BW limit

[natty]

whats the price for this?

[Chickenfeed]

Yeah I'm using the Telus equivilent of that Dragoon. I used to be on their 3/.640 so its a big upgrade for me. I'm guessing your somewhere between Calgary and Edmonton ? I've been told our lines here have the capacity of about 50mbit or so from a Telus tech but they don't intend to impliment it for a while yet ( I'm guessing a 2+ years )

[BobyTT]

Sorry USA but Internet is better here

Can you please do it to London server? Or NY?

[Chrono Detector]

You guys are lucky. Here in Australia we're still stuck with piss poor cable speeds. And I'm stuck with a 9MB connection and its not good enough.

[Anemone]

Cable has never, ever delivered the full bandwidth it has been rated for. Admittedly it has gone up over the years, but at each "this is your max" it has always fallen short of the mark by easily 50% in many cases. And since we have a lot of remote users at work, I know my story is far from unique in the Boston suburbs. So my pay for 100, get 5 comment might be exaggerated, but it's a fact you don't get more than a fraction of the promised speed from cable.

9Mb connection is still pretty high for america.

Southern alberta, all heck for a basement

[SamHughe]

This is what I get. I am paying $73/month for TV+Internet.

I'm in a Socal TWC area, and it also sucks here. I can get somewhat decent download speeds, but it's really bad for gaming (ping is extremely variable). I'm using DSL with much lower bandwidth for the price, but the ping is very stable.

[G0ldBr1ck]

Here is what I get with Charter Cable in Alabama for about $90 at the moment.

Very nice, how much?

I mean really, anyone can deliver you any speed at the right price. lol

Im in the Socal TWC area and my speeds are ridiculously fast...

Im getting what i paid for and then some...

At times i get 3.0 Megabytes per second download speeds. Usually its 1.7-2.0 megabytes per second.

[kiwi]

Can you please do it to London server? Or NY?

No, of course not Please understand that there is no way such cheap home connection will do half megabit speed over the Atlantic 4000 miles away, maybe in 10 years

But as I said before I can't complain about my connection

And your not on our MJ12 team?

Seems that I've missed that

[acidpython]

Exactly, traffic shaping at peak times is becoming common place and Sunday nights on the internet is like wallowing in treacle.

Virgin is running a trial at 200Mb speeds somewhere in Kent, would be nice but where I live I will be lucky to get 5% of that within the next 3 years.

Really? Any info or links? I live in kent and the best i can get is 8mb/s down

[the imposter]

See you gotta love OOL in general though, there latency on there network is so low.



This is with OOL boost. its advertise 30/5, actually getting 55.2/5.2 , wont believe the price either, since we have a 20 year old account or something, when added internet package, they offered us to OOL and Teleaphone for 10 bucks a month each. 10 bucks extra if we wanted boost. so 20 dollars a month for this connection, you really cant beat it.... and no its not 20 dollars for the first 6 months or whatever. it was actually free for the first 6 months, 20 dollars after that.

After 20 years of having negative signal they finally changed cable outside to the biggest wire they had. its like a 1-1.5 inch cable, so we have +22 singal (too much) but its been adjusted.

Heheh.

Dom, what router do you plan on using ?
