What is the highest internet connection speed?

Hey,

Just woundring about the highest internet connection speed that is offerd by ISP's now?

 

Currently in the UK 8mb or 10mb is available from many ISPs using ADSL, this seems to a be a recent development. Many ISP seem to have been upgrading from 2mb as most common to 8 or 10 mb.

My cable was recently upgraded to a 10mb connection although I still only get 512mb upstream. I htink they are worried about me hosting servers or something.

Although in tokyo:

Probably not commercially available though!

In the USA, it is currently, Verizon FIOS (signal comes on optic fiber) about 15Mb/sec.

 

Ahhh Finally a 'good' reason for me to move to the US!

There may be even more faster connections,which are used by Universities and research labs they will only acceble to the public aftrer many years even decades.We all know the current Internet was alos a research project.

 

If you are wanting the fastest possible connection then a load balncing router and several internet connections will make it faster however many internet connections you decide to have

 

You'll miss your fish-n-chips....and if thats not your thing we don't do as many Indian foods here either....we dont do'em like you Brits do.......I know... I have one living with me, and he come from right in your "neck of the woods"

 

Sorry forgot to post in my last reply.......I heard New York City has a 10mb connection, I live about 500 miles from and I have 5mb...but swear its a 1 at times.....lol

 

7GBps? i thought there was something faster than that...it was like OC-252 or something....i forgot what it was called....i read that somewhere, but i cant remember or find it now...


...or maybe im wrong..

 

U guys have 8Mb? Here (Greece) the highest personal conection is 2Mb. I am proud to say that I have such a connection. Or I was proud before reading about your DSLs . Only schools and organizations have 8 or 10 Mbps in Greece.

 

Sailor, it could be worse you could have AOL AND dial up.........
"Welcome to AOL..........(secs later)
Good bye....."

 

My brother did reasrach into this when he was getting his bachlors and I think he got his up to 20 mb connection.

 

the fasted connection i've seen so far is the one the local university has (osu) and their connection consists of dual 2 gb/s gateways directly to the internet....not only that but most of open sources projects are hosted on the local network which is all fiber channel 10 gb/s (osuosl). But i've seen their server rooms and if you want that type of connection....$$$$$$$$$$$, why you'd need a 4 gb/s connection to the internet...i don't know.

 

well, i just checked and now for people who are using the internet at home the max speed you can get in salem oregon (USA) is a 50 mb/s upload and download speen for pretty cheap ($30 a month) they acually put fiberoptics in all the way to your computer this isn't even their bisiness plan, anyway its call verizon fios
