At first I asked myself, why anybody would want 500kg/s.
I had to downgrade my internet:(
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3223432353
It was at 1.5 gigs. I'm going to pay for the difference to upgrade it just to have it because man I miss my godly internet
I wonder if that is Google Fiber.
its pretty clear that 3420046592 Gigabits/s isn't 1 Gigabit/s
to topic: for reference, 1 gigabit internet speed would be 128 megabyte/s, even if someone had 3,420,046,592 GB/s, they wouldn't be able to do anything at that speed because disk write speed would become the bottleneck(normal 7200 rpm drives hover ~120MB/s, SSDs go for about 400-600 MB/s, and fast lanes like the thunderbolt port can only do 10 gigabit/s theoretically(1280 megabytes/s)
Damn, thats fast! :)
@ThatWasMyKil; told me that most of Aussieland has ADSL2+? I don't think the US even knows what that is.... or at least the 2+ bit. We all have cable or fiber for the most part.
Verizon fios outside of google fiber is probably the fastest you can get. I'm still trying to work out with my dad how to budget it in again, since another government closing is looming again .
Currently I can download about 30 gigs in about 15-20 minutes max, with my previous internet it was like 10 minutes
@Zelkova; I think Australia has a cap on it, I read about it years ago but he can clarify it
Are you using this pomegranatety dynalink or w/e pomegranate router you get with TPG? I upgraded my router to a netgear d6300 and this is the speed im getting now, before it was half that.
Most of our ISP's service plans have download caps, TPG and a few others have unlimited ADSL+2 the issue with Australia is that its all pretty much copper lines making ADSL the most attractive connection(with out spending a stupid ton) we where scheduled to get FTTD(Fiber to the door) for the whole of Australia but then we pineappleed our selfs but voting in a pineappleing retard and thus getting a new communications minister that has royally but pineappleed us and now we are getting FTTN(Fiber to the node) and our existing copper connections to the door unless we are willing to pay the 3k to install the fiber our self, side note the speeds we will get in anycase will be better just not what we where promised with the previous government, all to save some $$$
There is also the issue that all the copper lines are owned by one Telco thus creating pineappleing up monopoly, but hey that's a whole different story.
