A nikka got that Fios, but this shyt right here?

 

[courtdog]

What part of KC you in? I grew up in midtown, 30th and Charlotte, Warwick, Virginia, etc.

Fred.

I grew up in the Northeast area but we moved north of the river when the Kansas City school accreditation fiasco started. I've bounced around from downtown to Westport but I'm back up north now

Why don't you two bytch nikkaz get a room

Turns out a gigabit is only 125 megabytes

that's still not bad tho

 

[Mr. Somebody]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!



Google Fiber gets formal launch, adds Google Fiber TV (update: event video) -- Engadget

Google is preparing us for next gen gaming with this angelic infastructure.

Where them 1000mbps speeds though

A bit is an eighth of a byte

It's gigabit speed not gigabyte

so 125 megabytes per second is the top of what they're claiming basically

So they're saying users will have what? 125 MB/s? or 125 mbps?

1000 megabits (Mb) per second
aka 125 megabytes (MB) per second

There is a common misunderstanding, not just in the backup world, but in general about the difference between a MegaByte (MB ) and a Megabit (Mb). The main cause of the problem is the fact that all data storage is quoted and referenced in Bytes (KB , MB, GB , TB , etc) and network transfer speeds are rated in bits (Kb, Mb, Gb, etc).

You will see two speeds referenced in this article, "Mbps" and "MBps", they mean:

Mbps = Megabits per second
MBps = MegaBytes per second

In order to better understand this, we already know this:

1 Byte = 8 bits

Therefore, if you have a Gigabit (or GigE) network, the top speed of GigE is 1,000 Mbps (Note "Mb" and not "MB"). That equates to 125 MBps because:

1,000 ÷ 8 = 125

Due to additional bits that are needed to actually send data out on the wire for routing purposes, the number of bits used for network traffic is closer to 10 bits for every Byte. Therefore a GigE network would have a realistic top speed closer to 100 MBps instead of 125.

1,000 ÷ 10 = 100

people are talking about "mbps" without the proper MB / Mb (aka Mbit) designations... some people might be expecting 1 gigabyte per second internet

a lot of media people don't even make the distinction so I'm guessing a lot of posters haven't figured it out

Yeah, I read through this whole thread like think they'd offer 1000mbps internet speeds.

 

[JMurder]

125MB/s is still blowing away damn near everyone else out the water

 

[itsyoung!!]

im more interested in them upload speeds .. still dont see this happening though.. I wish
