100 MB broadband - what to do with it?

UglyBolloxFace

Well lads, I have 100mbps broadband but it just doesn't seem like I'm using it to it's full potential.

Torrents' speeds are determined by the number of seeders (for downloading poetry, of course) and not the connection, and I've heard of Usenet (again for poetry) but you need to pay for a server etc.

So, is there anything I can do online with a connection of this speed?

Thanks!

Not necessarily. You wouldn't be able to use the excess speed, so your ping would be more important. You could have 100mbps broadband, but if your ping is 200ms then good luck killing the guy on 1mbps with a ping of 20ms.

Anything you download will be faster.

HD videos, software updates (that 2gb game patch will go really fast now), etc... The "richer" the content, the more usage you'll get out of your connection speed.

I'm getting 150mb on monday and i'm looking forward to streaming HD matches if possible, Also i'm going to pay for rapidshare so i can download my poetry a lot faster. And just a more sleek browser experience altogether.

Plus i can brag about my amazing connection obviously. :pac:

150mb? Nice. Who's the ISP?

Have you heard of Usenet? I heard it's great for downloading poetry as it enables you to utilise your full download speed. With your connection, you'll be swimming in the poetry and be an intellect in no time.

Nah open-source poetry, the poetry whereby it's copyright has expired of course.

Magnet, It's Eircoms new fibre roll-out in Wexford and Sandyford.

Yep i have, Rapidshare Megaupload accounts or whatever all do the same as far as i'm aware?

I could be wrong.

Remember to use a 1000mbps network card to gain full potential or 802.11n

Enough with the thinly disguised comments on illegal downloading. Discuss the broadband product, not what you're going to do with it. I've already closed one thread on this topic, if this continues in the same vain then that will be the end of it, permanently.
