If you got 90MB in under 1minute, you were probably using something like a T3. A T1 won't do much more than 10MB per minute.

I am fairly sure u get 2mb a sec on T1, and 45 on T3

bkehoe

T1 is 1.54MBit/sec.
T3 is 45MBit/sec.

This translates to 0.1925MB/sec on T1, and 5.625MB/sec on T3.

Also, note that "419 Kb/s" you quoted is Kilo bits per second. KB is kilo bytes.

po0k

I got 387KBytes/sec in NUIG a few weeks back. Another lad got about 800KBytes/sec one night when everyone else was away.

At home when downlaoding stff it says 3.5KB/s
Win98/2K. i connect at 31200bps, over DACS box (didn't think it was possible to conenct above that with one of those fux0ring your line).

I got the 387KB/sec under NT4.0 SP6
The file was about 40Megs and took about 1-2 mins to get from fileplanet.
Afaik NUIG is on the backbone, INEX possibly. What does HEA net ususally use?

NUIG has a 20Mb/s connection, I'm sure that all the University connections will increase because HEA are now on Internet2. They've also upgraded their loop between Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway to 155Mb/s.

I'm getting 46666 bps dialed into an Oceanfree node in Kilkenny. I hard-dial the local exchange and don't use the 1891 service because that often throttles me below 30000 bps.

PC Pitstop says my download speed ranges between 16000 bps and 31000 bps which I have to agree is more accurate than the 46k reported in my systems tray.

I'm running Patterson Designs TweakDUN and that helps keep my surfing speeds at a tolerable level. I also use some tweaks on http://www.topgold.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000061.html because they've worked well for people down the country where I often dialup.

After reading all these threads, I want my satellite connection now.

po0k

hehehehe, and the 500ms pings that go with it......

TCSM, could you elaborate on the setup you have? Just curious as to how you've got gigabit.

[evil laughter]

i'm sitting behind a 34MEGABIT ATM connection right now...
the limiting factor is the 10MEG network card...

[/evil laughter]

... and the other people in college :-(

Ugh.. mine got cut from 33,600bps to 28,000bps last week. Now its down to 26,400bps. Do i have any rights or can Eircom continue to hack me down to something worse?

Only other alternative(in my 'Information Age' town, hah!) is ISDN and thats horribly overpriced.
