    I have no idea what 100 Mpbs means. I guess its mega bites per second and Im told that our connection here is the best in the world. But how 100Mpbs relates to 5 mbit I have no idea. Whats mbit? How fast is my connection ?

    Faster than light. And unless I'm gravely mistaken 100 Mbps is 20x than 5 mbps. And I still think you're just pretending to be ignorant to tease us, not that that's a bad thing.

    100 Mpbs = 100Megabit/sec = 100/8 megabytes/sec.

    All speeds are meassured in bit/sec never byte/sec.

    I'm no expert on it, but that's what I've learned.

    Got 10 Mpbs myself.
    The problem is always the other side.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    I beleave the fastest I've known anyone get their internet was a friend of mine who got a 3 gigabit per sec with a fiberoptic connection. You could basically download anything and it would take miliseconds to download.

    The annoying part is that the other side needs the same speed.

    Downloads generally run much much slower than a broadband connection, from what I have heard from my cable owning friends 700-800kbps is a rare and high speed for a download using a download manager to grab from several places.

    I have a 2Mb cable connection with Telewest, and I really hate it any time I have to use a dial up connection, as I am not the most patient person in the world.

    Cnet's bandwidth meter. Fill in any 3-digit number for "area code" & click "GO". Takes a few seconds for the packet to make a round-trip; when test is finished, shows how your connection stacks up against typical speeds of various connections.
