I love the internet2
« on: August 28, 2008, 04:05:48 PM »
There's 2 types of internet's out there, the Internet1, which is what all of you use and it's relatively slow because a lot of the connections are dumbed down between slow routers and connections (dial up).    Then there's Internet2, which is comprised of mega super lines of internet that are all over 9000 and such. Basically you get amazing download speeds.  I took this test during the day while the connection was under a huge load from everyone at my university, but check this out...

i'm sorry to say that i am a lower person because my internet is slower >_>


no, really, i dont have a choice, comcast is all they have here and THEY KEEP THROTTLING ME!!

i'l be streaming or d/l'ing, and it will either stop streaming, or go from d/l of 1.3MB/s to 50kb/s to 25kb/s, to 30kb/s


to be blunt:  :censored: comcast

even when the fcc gave them the boot, they continue to do it! news as of last week was that they're gonna make people's internet  :censored: up to 20 minutes slower for 'overusers'





we pay for our intarnets, i dont want it slowed down

Probably over a million dollars worth of startup costs, my college IS my ISP, as in everyone here is connected through them directly (don't go through the roads and such to get to the isp)

which probably has a lot to do with it (duh..)

That's called a Backbone, the connection goes directly to the provider and connects to their Servers without any other thing between it, therefore hella fast. We could get a Backbone in our House as well, but it would be 200+€ a Month or so.

Have no shame in being kindly and gentle, but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret. In the time of your life, live so that, in that wonderous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.
