    there wouldn't be a cap on something like that, and I'd say he probably works for eircom with those sorts of speeds :p

    least now we know where all the bandwidth is going! ;)

    European equivalent of an American/Japanese(?) T3. Approximately 34.368Mbps compared to american 44.736Mbps T3.

    E3 consists of 16 x E1's(or 4 x E2's) multiplexed together. E1 is 2.048Mbps and the T1 is 1.544 Mbps. Not certain how many T1's multiplex to a T3., in or around 29 it looks


    Just what I spewed out in my exam the other day ;P

    During the World Cup they had no telly in the offices so they got some lad to point a web cam at a telly and streamed it over a 5Mbit feed.

    That's tax eurons well spent :)

    10x10^6 bits per second / 8 bits per byte = 1.25x10^6 bytes per second or 1.25MB/sec.
    You're getting ~2 3rds of your capacity.
    What nic/switch/isp/OS settings you got?

    Could probably optimise that a bit more, unless it's in and office and you're throttled (wise thing to do tbh :)

    Only getting about 25Mbps downloads though, not too bad :) Have had it up to about 8-10MBps :)

    Problem is no-one else has fat enough capacity, unless your doing p2p transfers over the fibre directly :)

    I don't think my HD could even keep up with that!

    coming to something when you're hard drive is the bottleneck for your net connection!

    A mate of mine in the UK was telling me that when the world cup was on a company he got a contract with had just had some trouble from an ex-employee who had given himself backdoor access to the feeds that were sent to the big video screens at some petrol stations that they used for advertising.

    He hacked into it and was broadcasting an england game to 25 stations all over the UK. Caused havoc because everyone was staying in the stations to watch the match, and they all got clogged up to the point where nobody could get into them to get fuel. They had so much trouble trying to cut him off that they ended up having to phone all the stations and get the managers there to pull the plug manually on all the screens.

    I don't remember the exact details because I'm not in touch with the guy any more, but if I remember rightly, he was contracted in afterwards to lock the system down after the incident so it couldn't happen again.

    I know that they got the guy for it, but I don't know exactly what happened to him after that.

    Another one to add to the urban folklore catalogue.ww)

    Ah, we're 'in the trade', although I can do you excellent leased line connections, where you pay eircom/esat for the line rental and then use us for the IP on a usage basis :)

    We're sitting on the INEX, Global Crossing and 5.6Gbps of paid transit from 8 carriers, so only having 155Mbps dedicated to office browsing, email and pron is not great :):)

    Seriously though, makes me weep when I go home :(
