Nice. We won't see this technology again for another 50 years for any customer. What a shame 🙄

Meanwhile in UK I am stuck with 10mb phone line connection with 1.4mb/s download speeds, and without any possible alternatives, even thou I have a willing and money to get something faster, but no. So annoying.

Be glad its not Verizon dsl in the states, some those places only get 3mbit and slower. and pay roughly the same for people that get 50+mbit, i so glad i left Verizon dsl for optimum i pay they same i was pay with Verizon dsl as i do for optimum cable only difference i actual get 120mbit.
Choice by me where DSL or Optimum and for 10+ years i tried to avoid cable isp, but 3mbit was no longer cutting it 100+month for dsl vs 100+ month for 100+mbit which would any sane person pick? lol.
I would love to see the 255terabits/s but when and if it does hit consumers they probably gona ask a arm/leg/hand etc for it too

Im stuck with the same in Canada but i also have a 100gb cap and its 70$ a month. its sad that in these countries we dont even have over 100mbps in most areas.

300kb/s here...
However I'm supposed to get 100mbit Q1 next year :banana:

another thing right there bandwidth caps they need to be done away with with bandwidth caps in place it dont help advancement of speeds but it does help the isp profits
High ISP prices and charges for going over bandwidth cap= robbery
500mbit in japan/china etc cost way less then 100mbit cost here in the states and quiet a few other places. got love the capitalist system
I feel your pain 3mbit DSL is terrible in this day and age, even statalite isp is faster cost just as much as said dsl though

In Singapore, the maximum speed offered is currently 1 Gbps. I am on a 500 Mbps speed though.

bit over week a go I downloaded half of my steam library in 2 days 640 gigs. that cap would kill me. For me my 100mb line will drop in price soon from 40€ a month to 20€

In January BT ran a test on existing network & achieved 100% stable speeds of 1.4 terabits per second over a 255 mile link not bad for old tech.

99% of AUS has max speed of 1.5mb/s
I have never seen download speeds of over about 800kb/s.
200gb per month is $89.
I have no problem with the cap, only in months when several 50gb games come out do I reach the cap, but the speeds such, 5 days of 24hr downloading
for a 50gb game if I am getting max speed, a week or more if not.

on my 10mbps max i even see for download speeds is 1.2mb/s on steam anything els im lucky to get 800kb/s i dont uderstand how they function because when i had the 5mbps connection fastest i ever got was 600kb/s on steam how did i get more speed upgrading to 10 when i never got the full 5 i was supposed to get?
StrikeQ
5Mbps = 640KBps so you were probably getting your full 5 (minus a little overhead)

The deal is that we don't need to directly see this technology right now, this kind of technologies are first used in the industrial and ISP field, where the real money people can test and develop a reliable and usable tech.

NSA and company are loving this. :wanker:
