geez 50GB a second! Not like she uses it. Man I'd kill for that much speed.

Wow that speed would be enought for me. :D


She only uses it to read Web-based newspapers.
Haha!

Yeah, Here the US sits in the world with the SLOWEST internet connection speeds in the entire world. Fuck you America, thanks for not being technologically advanced like you say you are.

Smartzkid
07-19-2007, 07:53 PM
I assume it's some sort of fiber optic connection.

The kind of stuff that big companies get.

It just ties into the internet's backbone.

I like my cable internet at 3mbs a second. Know why? It costs me nothing. I didnt have the money to pay one month because I was switching jobs. I had them come disconnect till I got more money and guess what. They unhooked an old cable wire that used to run to the house that wasnt even used anymore. When I got it rehooked up when I bought the house they put in a new underground wire which the cable guys failed to disconnect. Thank them for hiring morons.

but its just not fair. 40gig a second! thats sick! ^^. (then there less one qeustion... ''can you computer handle that?'' :p)

I wouldn't think so if you were downloading files. I mean your hard drive can only write at a certain speed. IDE/PATA being the slowest. Even with a Raptor you wouldn't be able to download at full speed. So may be overkill?

old people go slow though. But downloading would be gheto cus nobody could get close to uploading that fast so it pretty much would be a waste. not that id mind having it ;)

Buckleyindahouse

Basicly, Trying to use that powerful internet to its fullest capabilities which meaning downloading a file at 40 gigs per second would totally fry your hard drive.
1. The hard drive disk that contains the data would prolly melt from trying to spin so fast.

2. The hard drive disk hand that writes the data to the disk would prolly malfunction and just stop moving all together.

3. Then the hard drive would probably just stop moving and then melt.

4. Overall the fastest hard drive i know which is the raptor 78 gig i believe cannot do that and it spins at an amazing 10,000 RPMs compared to most average hard drives which spin at 7200. Im sure there are hard drives faster then 10k rpms (SCSI) i belive but those cannot handle it either.

overall its a waste. >.>

So you're saying that if someone offered you free 40GB/s internet, you would say no? :O

Not even close buddy. I dont know where you get your info from but us is certainly not the slowest by any means.

Weta workshop here in NZ have a connection direct to boston. Which is a huge distance. And they have a fiber connection exclusivly for themselves. Dont know what speed. But i remember talking to a animator who works there about it and he said you can only dream buddy.

Would be rather nice.... And whoever said whats the upload ;) Well.... It certainly wouldnt be restricted if thats what your hinting at. Basically all you need is single mode fiber.... and you can go for kms at a time. Most people just use multimode fiber which limits it horribly from single mode. but is much faster. Would actually like to know how they did it...

Hard drives are at 15k RPM, now. But still they would never cope with this.

But Raid0 setup with 80 x 15k RPM hard drives can, but the controller can't.

I am talking about the average speed of users in america. That means all people speeds in average. Some people in the US have fiberoptic but most still don't, and still a lot of people still have dial-up. This is average of everyone's internet not the fastest speeds you can receive.

Are you F**king kidding me. How is that slow ROFL. Outta come down to nz. about 2megs is like Best here. maxing out at about 2.5. Half of my mates are still on dial up. I am on neighbours wireless because i cant afford broadband. Prices are ridiculus here. For a 1gb cap at about 1 mb/s you will pay around 40$. Most people would blow that within a week.

Count yourself lucky that you live in US. They are merely stating the speed. Not comparing it with anything else.

I read about this a couple of weeks back. The article I read didn't list her other computer specs, but I'm sure her son provided more than necessary hardware. It's true you wouldn't be able to use all that capacity for downloading, but you'd be a seeding god.

She can only use it 1 gb/s because her computer isn't powered enough over it :D

elementalelf
09-20-2007, 08:30 AM
hard drives write at about 60-70Mb/s so that would be her max download limit.
of course, if it were just being stored in her ram, it would have a write time of about 100ms, so, say, a dual xeon server with 32gig of ram and a bunch of HDD's in a raid array, you would get full download speeds :P

screw legally. you could download every last bit of crap linked to Limewire in about 10 mins [provided your HDD does not explode]



I have a better question than "can the HDD handle it?"

Can her brain run at 40gps?
hell, i dont think mine can.

You guys do realise, that even though she has a maximum download speed of 40 gigs a second, the people that she is downloading from would have nowhere near that speed in upload, therefore, she downloads at their upload speed.

Actually, the Internet was created by the European Nuclear Research Centre (My translation).

It's original name is CERN and they work with particlephysics, and when the scientists who came from far away, had written a note of research, they had to rewrite it all when they came to CERN. So some technical guy created the Internet, and guess what - He wasn't even one of the particlephysics.

Oh my gosh.....you must be joking..Now i really know that dial up is horrible...I feel like I have the SLOWEST connection in the world right now...I guess the hard part to believe about it is shes 75 years old and probably doesn't even use it. If she was pking in Runescape...She could like seriously see your next move before everyone else in the WORLD! If I had her connection I'd go to alot of drop parties....

Halcyon-Word
10-31-2007, 03:36 AM
Yeah, Here the US sits in the world with the SLOWEST internet connection speeds in the entire world. Fuck you America, thanks for not being technologically advanced like you say you are.

actually there are quite a few countries that have slower, New Zealand probably being among those, so fuck you NZ :) (Telecom is a phone company that runs a monopoly here and restricts the use of its copper wiring (Yes, old fashioned but they own something like 80% of it) and basically that slows down development ALOT, meaning staggering prices for companies that would have, what would seem like - good deals.) :D

just adding my 5 cents worth on this.
And i would kill for 40gigs a sec, 0 ping!!..... 0!!!

Basand
10-31-2007, 04:24 AM
But think about this:
Though you may not be able to use this all on one computer, imagine hooking up about 3 networks to this.
Running like 20 computers off the same connection would still be faster than most people!

Eicca
11-01-2007, 06:20 PM
All the replys with "cool" "I'd want it" are pretty dumb, because like 100mbps internet connection is the fastest connection that you will need in years..

n3ss3s
11-01-2007, 06:28 PM
Indeed, if the dl speed is 100mb/s whole time, you would be able to dl a movie in 7 seconds with that speed.

40 Gigs instead, would allow you to download 400 movies in the 7 seconds.
Its just insane speed, I wonder why does anyone need such a speed... I wish I had even 1mb, even that is okay speed...

Eicca
11-01-2007, 06:54 PM
Yup, and 100mbps is still pretty though task for the hard drives, and who needs that kind of speeds? And who the hell has so much disk space?...

Halcyon-Word
11-01-2007, 07:45 PM
Hehe, Someone like Bill Gates i suppose.
It does seem a bit 'OTT' with the whole 40 gigs but technology is improving all the time and that is just one example of how fast the world is progressing at the moment(A bit too ahead of its time), think of it similar to Graphics cards.
You have the testers constantly testing them and the game developers constantly pushing the boundaries to the point the cards will melt, THEN it's time for a new model to come out :)
And i have a we hunch the military are already on their way to making ultra pin point GPS systems using this kind of stuff, possibly making satalites record videos from the troposphere and beam it back to AP's in Real-Time :sasmokin:
then, BAM!...

Start counting, 400 movies / 7 = movies in one second etc.


ROFL GIVE IT TO ME..

Please don't spam, everyone of us would take it if it was offered for free, but that is very unlikely going to happen that anyone of us here would get such a speed, if all you have to say is 'I want it', DONT.

It's an advertising trick, nothing else.

Also, there is a picture of the router:

And the connection is that fast only between 2 routers like that.

I'd be torrenting the entire internet, right after i get a 5 billion terabyte drive or 2...

Or even better... Host all the torrents in the world, id be adding like a 5% increase to everyone... that would be so worth it.

Go old lady! lol

I believe Sass, it's just advertising. Btw, who would need such internet? 2mbps is fast enough... Without server lagg and bussy objects you could get 2 seasons of film worth 15 gig in about 2 hours, which means it finished while you watch the first 4 or 2 episodes. One episode will be downloaded in about 2.8 minutes, double for episodes of an hour each... What's the wait? So 1 gig per second with server lagg and bussy object should give you about the same result. 40gig and a monthly bill of €200,000 according to current prices for 2mbs. NO THANK YOU! :p

Right, but your hard drive will write it into your disk for 1 minute, so 10mbps internet connection would do the exactly same trick. ;)

That is amazingly fast lol.

Such a sweet kid..gave internet to his mom. SHARE THE LOVE MAN

He didn't give her the internet...he gave he the WHOLE FREAKING UNIVERSE!


I like my cable internet at 3mbs a second. Know why? It costs me nothing. I didnt have the money to pay one month because I was switching jobs. I had them come disconnect till I got more money and guess what. They unhooked an old cable wire that used to run to the house that wasnt even used anymore. When I got it rehooked up when I bought the house they put in a new underground wire which the cable guys failed to disconnect. Thank them for hiring morons.


*Sob* Why does it have to be a grandma that receives it? The irony hurts man.

True. Has to be someone who doesn't use it, not a computer nerd.


old people go slow though. But downloading would be gheto cus nobody could get close to uploading that fast so it pretty much would be a waste. not that id mind having it ;)

Neither would I :p


Basicly, Trying to use that powerful internet to its fullest capabilities which meaning downloading a file at 40 gigs per second would totally fry your hard drive.
1. The hard drive disk that contains the data would prolly melt from trying to spin so fast.

2. The hard drive disk hand that writes the data to the disk would prolly malfunction and just stop moving all together.

3. Then the hard drive would probably just stop moving and then melt.

4. Overall the fastest hard drive i know which is the raptor 78 gig i believe cannot do that and it spins at an amazing 10,000 RPMs compared to most average hard drives which spin at 7200. Im sure there are hard drives faster then 10k rpms (SCSI) i belive but those cannot handle it either.

overall its a waste. >.>

Fry your hard drive. Wow...downloading 40 gigs per second...I would LOVE to have that :p If it didn't fry.

I wonder if you would still lag? :p

Is it just me, or is the page expired or the article isn't there anymore or something? Can someone post the article please?

would be nice

11-03-2007, 06:52 PM
Could you guys explain me how the hard drive would fry because of the connection speed? It won't fry - the hard drive is the main "speed limit" in PC-s and that would limit the connection speed. :rolleyes:

A harddrive can only write so much data onto the hardrive per second, if you had the fastest internet connection in the world and were downloading lots of files your hardrive would fry because it would be used more...

Damn Yahoo for taking our wows away. But from what I gather, she has a blinking insane connection. 40 - 50GB/s? I want it.

I don't know what my connection speed is, but looking from my laptop it's saying a measly 54MB/s. OMG, that's about 1,000 times faster than my connection!

Talking about my connection, I better post this before I get disconnected again!
