Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps

I remember the time on DCC hubs looking at all those with 8 and 10mbit two or so years back, thinking how we would never see that. I didn't even bother about thinking about 100mbit, its the same feeling as I have now about getting 1gbit HK style.

So if technology keeps on moving like it is...who knows where we could be....1gbit? =) /shields self from those beating me down for that comment

1Gbit? That would still mean i would have to wait 4.5 seconds to download a DVD, thats just not good enough .. anyone got the email address to send complaints too?

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps

wouldn't it be 4.5 seconds if it's 1Gbyte but at 1Gbit we're talking more like 36 seconds?

I assume a person downloading a DVD is doing it for research purposes - e.g. to test the speed of their connection!
