What to do with 20mbps upstream

[DoFoT9]

I have the same problem. I have 85 kb/s download and only do light browsing and no big downloading.

you have 85 THOUSAND kb/s, not 85 kb/s lol.

im so jealous, your upload speed is up the crapper but

 

[SkyBell]

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.

I'm in the boat with both of you. 128kb here.

If you have a friend with similar speed you could each be offsite backup for each other (for photos etc.).

to put that 20/20 in perspective your paying $70 ish.

Here in the UK the only way for a 20/20 lines is a leased line, which for that speed would be about £10,000 or $20,000 a year

We can get 20 or 40 down no probs in some area's but the upload is amazing.

I'd personally get some servers in and start hosting web sites and game server and make some money off it all

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:

I'm not sure what to do with mine... I'm currently on Fibre-Optic supposed to be capable of 120mbps (symmetric),
though normal is 100mbps. However, on some server it goes to


and on other's much higher!! and it's all uncapped!

UNCAPPED!?!?!?!?!

you cannot be serious. i am soo incredibly jealous of that. that is simply amazing. im on ADSL2+ with 1mb UPL i get 25gb for $100AU per month, then capped back to dial up speeds.

the cheapest ADSL2+ around here is $70 for 200gb per month. here is australia there is literally no such this as "fully" uncapped. and its very expensive.

is yokohama in the US?

ROFL @ "is yokohama in the US"

Nope, both Yokohama and Tokyo are in Japan.

And YESS!! It's completely uncapped, at the moment I'm paying something in the region of 4000 JPY/M (approx $46.47 AUD), for this I get unlimited internet, Fibre-Optic Digital TV and IP phone!!

Oh, NTT gave me 6months free service cause at the time they had a promo going...

[Counterfit]

That's no excuse, you're only 7,200km away from there!

 

[Bfat567]

[DoFoT9]

[lozanoj83]

I hate you all!
my download speed


....


I envy you.. how I would kill for a 1.5 connection... just that would make me happy... and to add salt to the wound, Im going to UCR next week and we have a download cap of 7GB's per week and an upload of 2GB's....
gosh I hate you all...
hate you...

technically dont you have much much faster than a 1.5 connection??

648*8=5184.. seems much faster than a 1.5mbps connection to me

 

[Abstract]

How's my driving?

Am I going too fast?

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

Do you also live in Australia?

I have the same problem. I have 85 kb/s download and only do light browsing and no big downloading.

Wow, that download speed is crazy!

Then there are guys like me who are too cheap to get this.

Rather I pay about 2,500 yen for 50Mbps ADSL line.

But it's slow for here:



Who knows, maybe I will upgrade one of these days.

I get half of that

[jv17]

well you can download any songs that you want..

 

[ravenvii]

Huh??? That looks like 85 Mbps, not 85 kbps!

As for mine:



I wish I have FiOS, but that's not too shabby for $30/month.

Man, things I'd do with the kind of ups and downs discussed in this thread...yikes!!

 

[Cabbit]

Wish i had close to that upload speed. i have 200Mb/s down and 3Mb/s up. Virgin really need to up there upload speed it would make it much better for video conferencing(1080p 1 to 1 please with 728Kb/s stereo sound) and uploading my files to FTP and perhaps taking my webserver in house.
