Finally my internet is fast!

[gmpd2000]

So, i started using another internet provider, they said their internet was really fast, i was going to test it by downloading a game from steam.

They weren't kidding.

Spanish translations:

Velocidad actual: Current Speed

Pico: Peak

Two gigabytes per second? I am skeptical. How would you even get that into your PC? Gigabit ethernet wouldn't cut it, tops out at 100MB/s or so.

[lajoswinkler]

It might be gigabits per second...

[Red Iron Crown]

Even two gigabits would be beyond the capacity of consumer networking gear.

[Overfloater]

Did you download the internet?

[gmpd2000]

Those are 2 billion gigabytes per second.

Herpy derp, I totally missed that. Congrats on being the new king of the interweb.

My nighthawk router is capable of 1300Mbps at 5ghz bandwidth.

B-b-b-bu..b-b-b-b-but HOW!? *Goes off to cower in corner*

(1 mBp/s on very good days isn't the best, but hey, at least I don't have to measure it in baud!)

[Endersmens]

wait.....i'm confused

[Javster]

Offtopic, how do you say velocity in Spanish if velocidad is speed?

care to lend me some bandwidth?

mine's been going steadily downhill since Virgin media bought out NTL

[Dodgey]

It's a bug with steam, it happens to me every now and again.

[kenbobo]

It isnt THAT fast.

It just is a glitch in Steam.

I have encountered it more than 10 times.

But have your fun!

I have two gigabits. I downloaded a two gigabyte game in one minute.

[Red Iron Crown]

I have two gigabits. I downloaded a two gigabyte game in one minute.

That's about 35 megabytes/second, or about 350 megabits/second.

This happened to me before. Steam karked it in when I was downloading something, and said my peak was around what this one is. But the thing is, by internet is bandwidth limited to 196KB/s. that Kilobytes. per second. Horrible, I know.

Ah. Thank you. I was severely confused.

Mine internet has kicked up to 2.4 Mb/s before. When tested with ookla it usually sits aroudn 1.3 or 1.4. It's decent. The fastest internet i've ever had that's for sure. But usually it hangs down around 400-500 Kb/s

My home internet was crap and hardly ever got above 200 kBps or so. Then I moved to college, and I'm getting ethernet downloads speeds of around 3-4 MBps. Downloaded Portal 2 in under half an hour (as opposed to the 19 hours it took back home).

wow, that is impressive. the xbox 360 port of portal 2 takes 14+ hours easily to download through my crappy internet.
