But good old 56k at home as i cant get DSL from any of the companies out there and ISDN is just as sh*t in my opionion

as I get 52k t home no need to spend more money on an extra 14k

John2002 · 14-05-2003 11:43am

Generally use 128K ISDN at home.

Don't know what type my work connection is but I can get downloads of >100KB/s.

Tiesto · 14-05-2003 12:01pm

i wonder who the person is that uses satellite
good few ppl using crappy isdn!!
must have went down a good bit in price since i last checked it out!

JohnK · 14-05-2003 1:40pm

I've got 56k but should be ordering DSL today or tomorrow

Sev · 14-05-2003 2:11pm

Cable

shurl · 14-05-2003 2:51pm

ando · 14-05-2003 6:16pm

I'm on "It Still Does Nothing"

my line is Dsl ready for the last few days but no sign of self install kit yet :mad:

I'm supprised just how many there is on broadband here, its getting the most hits in the pole so far

Tiesto · 14-05-2003 6:35pm

yeah i know
i was thinking the exact same thing
and most of them prob using Eircon

Turner · 14-05-2003 6:37pm

Eircom dsl, Its company paid for so I get it for free, dunno how much its costs, think its about 200 squid a month. Download speeds 104kb/sec upload about 25kb/sec.

Tiesto · 14-05-2003 7:01pm

nice, u download much with it?
use kazaa..???

GUI · 14-05-2003 7:13pm

yes i download legal backups of my family album

SouperComputer · 14-05-2003 7:25pm

56gay, goin netsource when the funds are in place.

Looking forward to all those.....err............ linux distros!

LoGiE · 14-05-2003 9:32pm

ISDN soon to be ADSL soon as funds are sorted:)

Tiesto · 14-05-2003 10:18pm

Wow Great responce.
56gay is catching up fairly quick

i knew it was too good to be true. i never knew so many people used isdn, Why pay so much more for a tiny bit more speed.

ando · 14-05-2003 10:37pm

ah in fairness, isdn is a whole lot better than 56k, for gaming and for fairly instant connection.

There's quite a few on wireless now IE leap/IrishBroadband too, that should of been included in the poll

Tiesto · 14-05-2003 10:49pm

well if an admin wants to edit it go ahead!!

Tiesto · 15-05-2003 1:24am

haha 56 gay creeps ahead

Mossy Monk · 15-05-2003 1:57am

i have a 56K modem in my PC

don't be fooled though because at the moment i am cruising at the crazy speed of 14,400 bps

which is incredibly slow. some days i might get 16,800 bps which is also ****

daveg · 15-05-2003 10:06am

DSL 512K down 128K up @ work. Dload speeds of up to 60K

at home 56K - download speeds of 5K :rolleyes:

jwt · 15-05-2003 1:02pm

ISDN

Expecting to get broadband sometime in 2015 possibly 2014 if I'm really lucky :mad:

ISDN is the best choice for remote access/remote control given that ADSL is not available, sat is too laggy and 56 is slow.

byte · 15-05-2003 9:35pm

ISDN here. It's as close as I'll get to broadband within the next 20 years, unless I move!

At least 64k is a tad faster than the 28.8k I was stuck with when on standard "56k" dialup. :rolleyes:

po0k · 16-05-2003 12:02pm

NUI,G's 60Mbit CBR ATM from HEA.net onto 1Gbit backbone.

rabbitinlights · 16-05-2003 1:53pm

I was fairly happy with my 512K/128K ADSL
Till i seen SyxPak bandwidth, that must be very nice to use?
i wonder how much eircom will charge for that..................
or what kind of cap they would put on it....................

vibe666 · 16-05-2003 2:00pm

there wouldn't be a cap on something like that, and I'd say he probably works for eircom with those sorts of speeds

least now we know where all the bandwidth is going!

irishgeo · 16-05-2003 2:00pm

56k at home
T3 at work
56k in landlords house should i need it.

Tiesto · 16-05-2003 3:35pm

u firewalled?

Gavin · 16-05-2003 3:40pm

Jeese lads ! This is europe. An E3 !

Gav

Tiesto · 16-05-2003 3:42pm

kaimera · 16-05-2003 5:43pm

gay56K.

Still gotta get round to chatting to the Eircom guys in town.

European equivalent of an American/Japanese(?) T3. Approximately 34.368Mbps compared to american 44.736Mbps T3.

E3 consists of 16 x E1's(or 4 x E2's) multiplexed together. E1 is 2.048Mbps and the T1 is 1.544 Mbps. Not certain how many T1's multiplex to a T3., in or around 29 it looks

Just what I spewed out in my exam the other day ;P

Limiting their connection...

During the World Cup they had no telly in the offices so they got some lad to point a web cam at a telly and streamed it over a 5Mbit feed.

That's tax eurons well spent

10x10^6 bits per second / 8 bits per byte = 1.25x10^6 bytes per second or 1.25MB/sec.
You're getting ~2 3rds of your capacity.
What nic/switch/isp/OS settings you got?

Could probably optimise that a bit more, unless it's in and office and you're throttled (wise thing to do tbh

Tiesto · 17-05-2003 5:13pm

that post about the footie match streaming hahah
taking the pisS!
5Mbit feed. imagine u had a 3 gig cap on that

po0k · 18-05-2003 1:32am

twas over their internal network, so it probably cost them bollock all* tbh.

*bollock all being a highly technical term meaning "Not a whole lot"

steve-hosting36 · 18-05-2003 6:20pm

We're on 155Mbps in the office, and lowly GPRS at home at the moment

Talk about a slow down
