DJ, is 100mbps enough for digital distribution?
its like 5 times faster than the fastest internet connection here in canada so i think it will be damn enough for a while. 100mbps means an average download rate of ~12,500Ko/sec, so ...
Whoa that's so awesome! 30-40 or 60 MB/s? Lol SWEET! I have an 8 Mb/s now and I still feel like thats slow haha but I'm extremely impatient
America's standard for High-Speed is 7 times lower than most countries. Also 30 percent of American's are still forced to rely on Dial-up. F* 100mbps, I'll be more impressed when we get 100% broadband penetration in this country.
then you should see japan's internet connection, there average internet speed is 512Mb/s and they are releasing double that, yes 1gb speed.
