How fast is resnet?

<p>Is it like DSL speed (300 kb/s) or cable speed? (700 kb/s+)</p>

2

<p>Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s slower than FiOS speed. I’m going to miss my 50mbps down/20mbps up. :(</p>

3

<p>I remember download speeds topping around 500-600kb/s in Jester. Meh.</p>

4

<p>^ Was that kb/s or kB/s. Is this the number you saw on IE/Firefox as the download speed? There’s a big difference, if you can remember.</p>

5

<p>It was the kilobytes per second I noticed while using wget.
So, 500-600kB/s. Sorry for the confusion.</p>

6

<p>oh wow…that’s slightly faster than dialup</p>

7

<p>bumping.
need other people’s confirmation about the speed.</p>

8

<p>It’s pretty fast for me. Pages load really fast. YouTube is quick. I video chatted with two different people earlier over iChat, and I didn’t notice any lag really. But it WAS sucking up my bandwidth; not much though.</p>

9

<p>does UT have a site where you can check how much of your bandwidth you have used and how much is left?</p>

10

<p>Yes</p>

<p>cool thanks</p>

12

<p>ugh I forgot to being an ethernet cable. Does UT sell those</p>

13

<p>I think the computer store does. In the FAC.</p>

14

<p>It might be really overpriced though. You can get 10 foot cables for like $3 at good electronics stores.</p>

15

<p>It’s 5 bucks for a 15ft one, it think. Well, at least it is online, and then you can do store pick up.</p>

16

<p>With the wired connection I get about 94 megabits down and 66 up. Download speeds are bottlenecked by the server you are downloading from, but it’s still very fast.
If you torrent a popular file with a ton on seeds, I’m betting whatever you’re downloading will be finished in a matter of seconds or minutes if you have the right port forwarded.</p>
