Lets Discuss America's :flabbynsick: Internet Speeds

[unit321]

Did you guys forget the earlier days of the innanets? I remember when 56k was an upgrade from typing a link, going outside and playing for 30 minutes then coming back in, checking the web page then typing another link and going outside again. Internet now doesn't need to get any faster than what cable/dsl have to offer, really.

Current speeds are good.
The problem now is the volume of data that gets bottlenecked at servers. So if a bagillion people hit one URL at the same time, it may not be able to service all the requests so returning data "appears" to be slow. An example is shopping online during the Christmas season on cyber Monday. Multiple servers and load balancing routers can prevent this or decrease slowness of traffic.
Bottlenecks can occur elsewhere, like your home router. If you are having a LAN party (who does this?) with 15 people streaming a heavy amount of data, that can bog down transmission of data to everyone behind that router.

How many of us accidentally downloaded a movie, song or video by accident... even though it required entering a captcha.

You think I'm dumb enough to answer that question The internet police would be knocking at my door next thing I know.

FORT MYERS, FL -
A Fort Myers man who was planning to turn in an alleged drug dealer ended up behind bars for unintentionally snitching on himself.

It all began when Marcus Gollman called 911 to report he was verbally threatened by a 50-year-old woman on Tuesday.

When the deputy got there, they asked Gollman why the woman was angry at him.

According to the report, Gollman responded, "Because I had bought dope from her daughter, and now I'm gonna turn her into the police."

Without interruption, Gollman continued, "Come to my house, and I'll give you the dope. It's in a green plastic bag. It's a little marijuana."

So the deputy followed Gollman, who was on a bicycle, to his home on the 2000 block of Moreno Avenue.

When the deputy arrived, Gollman was coming out of his house holding a green bag of leafy substance that resembled marijuana.

According to the report, Gollman handed the bag to the deputy and said, "Here is the dope I bought, sir."

The deputy says he was taken back by Gollman's admission to buying marijuana.

Gollman was then placed under arrest for possession of marijuana under 20 grams.

the fact that this is even a crime shows that our priorities are off... we will continue to fall in education and internet speed.

It's so many applications that need greater speeds. streaming better quality video is just one of them. A lot of new gaming technology is being held back by it too, the PS4 for example will stream PS3 games through a cloud instead of backwards compatibility for you

the fact that this is even a crime shows that our priorities are off... we will continue to fall in education and ability to download pirated digitial content at a faster rate than them Asians.

Fixed it.

Most people feel like this shyt doesn't matter... but it does.

lol, how embarrassing is it, that an asian dude can take his tablet and give u a tour of his building and street connecting fast as fukk like you are there with him......

then the following week u guys are on a go to meeting, and You ARE THE LAST one that joins the meeting, ur shyts delayed... Plus you have to plug the cord in cuz ur wifi is starting to fukk up....


This world is becoming more globally connected daily. As Americans our shyt has to be #1 to match our personality.... We can't walk around Earth like we are the US, get down or lay down , then lagg behind in education and internet and overall technology. IDK even know how to spell lagg - see? we failed.

I agree. Unlocking these speeds, data caps, and bandwidth limitations (much harder to do) will allow innovation to occur.

I think where this thread got thrown off is people started talking about their own speeds. I expect most of to have decent speed. But there are way more out there who have slow unreliable internet with no way of upgrading bc of infrastructure. shyt most people can't even get near 10 mb/s dl speeds. Lets talk about that.

Hershel on his farm aint getting T1 speeds for many many decades breh. I read a couple articles on potential nationwide wifi but with the way our govt is now thats the biggest pipe dream. Maybe in 2085.

at Hershel. WiFi would be easier to implement. You're right. Do these cables need to buried btw? Can't they use the existing electrical equipment to run lines?
