What to do with 20mbps upstream

have a high res 4 way video chat, whilst downloading large updates and doing some online gaming at the same time.

I'd seriously conscider actually killing for that sort of speed. Im on 512k down 256k up. my DSL sux
 
Torrent revolution? Faster torrents for everyone!

I probably shouldn't have said that... :p
 
What should you do with 20 mbps up/down stream?

If we all answered that honestly there'd be a lot of deleted posts and banned users.

I just discovered that Verizon has a 20/20 fios option at my address, so naturally I upgraded without having the slightest idea what I'm going to do with all of that upstream bandwidth. Anybody have a suggestion? Currently I'm thinking about:

hahaha boasting is the way to go. i feel for you with 256kb (i now have been upgraded to 1mb though). hopefully u can get faster soon haha.
 
Hi
Continue doing what I do now but mainly just be glad that I know I'd be host on every game on Xbox Live. :D
 
My grandparents have FiOS. They just use it for TV and phone. :p

I don't have FiOS. :(

dgouldin, beware of crappy routers dying under the new upload.

Be glad you have DSL. I live in the middle of nowhere and have to trust and EDGE aircard to do what I need....

Back to extreme internet speeds, you should head to speedtest.net to see how fast your internet really is.
 
Only 20? Hmm...I get 35-38 on my FiOS. ;) It's only supposed to be 15/15, but for some reason I get 15/35 on my connection. I thought about hosting my own site, but I decided not to and just with what I got.
 
Boy you guys with the faster FiOS are lucky. I only get 15 mbps down and about 2 mbps up here in Texas!:rolleyes: We're still luckier than those on 56k;)!

It's been at least a year since I read over the Fios terms of service, but I believe they forbid you from running any sort of server on their service. Obviously you could get away with your own personal site, but I wouldn't feel comfortable if it attracted high volume traffic.

As for routers, some cheapo SoHo crumble under high load (high volume of connections) so it could be a concern when you have that much bandwidth at your disposal.

As for what I'd do with that bandwidth... BT and brag. :)
 
Pssh 20/20, how about 50/20!

This thread almost made me cry. In my entire area, the best I can get is 1.5 down / 840 up. It's depressing.
