Re: 10mb connection
I've recently been upgraded from 3mb (which was fine) to 10mb - which is ~10kb a sec with pings of about 500ms (!)
It's ok, but falls to it's knees around 4pm, and is useless until about midnight.
Currently:
Fri, 05 May 2006 17:37:17 GMT
1st 512K took 1562 ms = 327.8 KB/sec, approx 2701 Kbps, 2.64 Mbps
2nd 512K took 27250 ms = 18.8 KB/sec, approx 155 Kbps, 0.15 Mbps
3rd 512K took 6844 ms = 74.8 KB/sec, approx 616 Kbps, 0.6 Mbps
4th 512K took 4859 ms = 105.4 KB/sec, approx 868 Kbps, 0.85 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 1085 Kbps, 1.06 Mbps
What that doesn't say is that pings in-game, and generally, are useless.
A web page will take about 5 seconds to load.
Most importantly, a World of Warcraft (two independant UDP streams of events) gives semi-crap download (latencies of ~300ms, not that much of a problem) but the upload is utterly crap. I'm getting latencies on upload via UDP of between 1000ms and 7500ms, which is just ridiculous.
Next year (contract ends in june, IIRC) I'm going for 8196/512 ADSL!
Edit: formatting bug
