Aye, don't let the befuddled dorm-boys confuse you. You don't buy "10 meg" or "100 meg" connections to the internet. You <i>can</i> get a fractional DS3 capped at 10 Mbps, and I suppose one could arrange for an OC3 capped at 100 Mbps, but generally when people say 10 Mbps or 100Mbps, they're talking ethernet.
i can afford it, the only problem is they only do 1024 dl and 256 UL, if you work it out - you need 20 ppl getting around 5kb each of download fro sever that'll be 20*5=100kbs
That's what you think, hehehe. You will not be able to run 20 people (from your other post) with only 256kbit upload especially on a dsl line. Each person pulls a few kiloBYTES, your upload is 256 kiloBITS. Divide 256 by 8 to see what your MAXIMUM possible upload in kilobytes is (about 30KB/s)
appartently the website lies, and it's actually a 1024 upload and 512 dl
should work fine <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
That makes no sense whatsoever, I've never heard of a company that offers higher upload on dsl than download, and I work on computer networks. But you can give it a try, don't complain when it doesnt work like you think it will <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Even if your getting a 1mbs connection (cable,dsl,t1) that doesnt mean that you will be getting 1mbs. The ISP's enjoy making money and saying that you'll get x bandwidth when you could be but they have a limiting factor like a modem they supply or something. I have a 1.3 mbs cable connection but have never seen it go over 800kbs.

They will provide the full throughput. A t1 is an entirely different kind of connection than cable or dsl. You will not be able to run that many players on 512kbit dsl upload, I'd say anywhere from 10 to possibly 16 depending on what speeds you actually get, which you won't know until after it's installed, since they depend on the provider, distance from the CO, network traffic, etc, etc
It T1 was 10 MBit, I'd buy one, if T3 was 100, hahhahaha, I'd buy as many as I could sell everything I own for dude....geez, an OC3 is only 155 MBit, so I wouldn't imagine a T3 being close to the same speed.
Why were you asking for connection speeds anyway? Unless you have lots of cash, I'd just colocate.
Any no...my post doesn't really have a point, I'm just bored and negelcted to read the rest of the posts <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

T1 = 1.5Mbit
T3 = 45Mbit
I think i can manage that?

512k
1Mbit
t1 = 10Mbit
T3 = 100Mbit
is this currect?
