Members techristian Posted December 17, 2015 Members Posted December 17, 2015 GLASS FIBRE network access that is !! My ISP is installing it in my city but hasn't gotten to my area yet. It sounds good too. 25mbps SYMETRICAL download AND upload speed....with phone for around $80 a month. Right now I'm uploading a 5gig video to YouTube with 5 mbps DSL ...but only 1/10 of that speed for uploads...currently taking 20 hours !! THE INTERNET IS UNUSABLE ON MY ROUTER NETWORK NOW. THE UPLOAD IS USING ALL AVAILABLE BANDWIDTH. As a result I'm on my phone "HOTSPOT" now, with 5 gigs per month limit. Tommorrow afternoon, I should be able to get back on my home network. Dan

Dan Congrats, Dan. That 25 Mbps upstream will really help out. I have 40 down but only 4 up and even that makes uploads much, much easier. DSL was 'amazing' technology -- in 1995. And it's been extended quite a bit (I hope I'm not giving away any secrets but James May, the AudioSprockets ToneDexter acoustic guitar processor designer [and holder of 22 patents] worked for a number of years extending the DSL technologies that allow broadband speed over traditional 'twisted pair copper' phone lines for limited distances)... But there's only so much you can push through the old lines. You'll like your new connection, I suspect. One thing, though, the overall average 'maximum' throughput may (legitimately) measure high on overall throughput -- but still have some issues. I note that the test suite at DSLReports (not just for DSL but the name is burned into folks' heads, I guess. ) now has several other metrics, including latency to different points and one called buffer bloat. I've noticed that my line can test at 40 Mbps plus and yet still manifest slowdowns loading modern, Web 2.x+ HTML5 pages -- which have traded reliance on the known devil of Flash for the chaotic family of demons hiding behind the HTML5/'modern' web dev door. With such 'modern' web development practices, the web hasn't been this slow since before I got DSL in the 1990s. 40 Mbps downstream and all.
Members philboking Posted December 18, 2015 Members Posted December 18, 2015 I read wifi will have some gonzo peta speed soon. I don't know that wifi will speed up much more. Even with the newest dual-band routers, it's pretty tough to get over a few hundred Mbits/sec. You might be thinking of 'Li-Fi' maybe? It's a new idea to get Gbit speeds from LED lighting, using subtle modulation that is supposed to be unnoticeable. I can think of several potential problems... Like anybody pointing a telescope at your house when the lights are on being able to intercept all the data traffic. The ultimate bottle neck is your web access in most cases. I finally gave up on all the local providers and got satellite internet. I just ran speedtest.net and got 15 Mb down and 4 Mb up, which is about 10x what I've ever gotten with any local providers. Expensive... but it actually works. For the first time. Disclaimer: I live in the boonies, more than 5 miles from the nearest town.

I'll dig up a link.Stay tuned.
Members 1001gear Posted December 18, 2015 Members Posted December 18, 2015 Here's the first link to come up. This part might be bullschitt. I'll get the science behind it. http://www.networkworld.com/article/2226382/microsoft-subnet/free-petabyte-internet-and-cellphone-service-from-storja-tech-and-microsoft-.html

Members 1001gear Posted December 18, 2015 Members Posted December 18, 2015 Here's the tech involved. At least with the transmission.http://www.extremetech.com/uncategorized/214304-terahertz-breakthrough-allows-for-ultrafast-wireless-communications
Members techristian Posted December 18, 2015 Author Members Posted December 18, 2015 As far as WIFI speeds are concerned....why not have devices on 2 or 3 routers ? Out from a modem to a hub and then to 3 modems. But true BLUE . Next we will expect to have 4k tv playing to 3 or 4 different audiences in our homes. OUR THIRST FOR SPEED AND CONTENT CAN NEVER BE QUENCHED !! Dan
