how much would this connection cost you

[cudenver]

41 mb/s down
71 up

just waned to know

 

[vroom_skies]

71 Megs up? As in your upload is almost double your download?
I find that hard to believe.

 

[cudenver]

yea here is the test.

It's obviously a fiber line.

Probably a dedicated line, $1000+/month

He's using the Denver Uni's line, it's a college\commercial line, so they top it out.

My ISP will provide 50Mbps down/50 up for 200$ per month. I'm currently paying 29.99/month for 10Mbps down/10 up.

However, check out the speed tests I've been running recently...




My ISP's speedtest...

WOW...that's a nice connection

Unfortunately here in Germany this is the best you can get

DSL 16,000 for 35 Euros a month from 1&1

I've run tests from three different sites and get the same results. It's gotta be some type of error though.

That is some sort of OC line, which would cost thousands of dollars per a month, but most likely the network admin has client bandwidth throttled so there is no way individual clients get that much speed.

It is a fiber connection, but yeah, there's no way I'd get that for the price I'm paying and they don't even offer that speed to consumers. The most you can get is 50 down/ 50 up. The rate of speed that I download files doesn't reflect that anyway. I'm not sure why all the tests I've run show that statistic though.

I don't know any consumer level broadband that gives 50MB upstream, that would be insane. I could host all kinds of stuff off my home connection then.

OC = fiber. I think our building to building 200meg fiber pipes cost my organization 10,000 per a month or something crazy like that. We got like 70 buildings though.

thats mine fiber optic with 50 down but 1.5 up. down is important to me.

if OC=fiber, Im assuming that oc means optical connection?
Edit: Just noticed the wikipedia link lol
