5mbps down, 2mbps up?

[Demalii]

lol.. a typo? You're on a tech forum and have never heard of bits and bytes?

there's 8 bits in a byte right?
1 byte = 8 bits
1 kilobyte (K / Kb) = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes
1 megabyte (M / MB) = 2^20 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
1 gigabyte (G / GB) = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 terabyte (T / TB) = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
1 petabyte (P / PB) = 2^50 bytes = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
1 exabyte (E / EB) = 2^60 bytes = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes

That's great relevance to a Mebabit not being a typo..

Since your a smart ass, what is a Mebabit?

it is astonoshing that 5mbps down, 2mbps up
my broadband connection is still 1Mbps down and 384Kbps up.

from what i had read in the news, it seems that the service is only offer in US, right?

OOOOH DROOOL!! Man I'm stuck in New Zealand where there is a total monopoly on the lines. I'm stuck at 256k down 128k up, argghhH!!!

Is this possible? You need a cable wire thats going to be as thick as a hand for that kind of speed

 

[beedubaya]

*sigh* I can only dream about that kind of speed.

Or a Fibur Optic cable

Holy ****. That would mean surfing the web would be virtually instant, and downloading games on steam would take less than a minute. BTW, could someone make me a cool tag I could use on this forum or tell me how to make one?

 

[The Merlin]

I don't think I will ever get it now They are trying to install the fiber optics alittle south of me in Tampa Bay and are busting water mains daily The city has stopped them once and people are getting pissed Verizon blames it on the county for giving them faulty pipe locations though
