I know the UK and maybe all of Europe use E1 instead of T1. Still though for an individual terminal to get that kind of bandwidth out is crazy heh .. maybe the testing site was on the local LAN.

I thought our service was mediocre at best. But I am getting 1.22 down and .44 up (average from both testing sites). This is what passes for high speed internet out here in the Indiana sticks. Then again, I am extremely grateful for what we do get, as for a lot of years the only option was dial up and that was just about enough to make me nuts. Of course, our service is a bit iffy sometimes. It comes via the phone line and drops out unexpectedly all the time. Twice in the past month it was gone for most of a day. Still, I do my best not to complain since it is so much better than dial up was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the technological words, but the Uni generates it's own internet, so that it can sell it to students, and yes I was plugged into the wall with a blue cord when I did that test at work. Whatever that is called . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on how far you are away from the light tables in the central office if you're using a DSL type line, and that and how many others are on your cable if you're using a cable system.... cable systems share bandwidth on each line, but DSL doesn't. Cable is usually much faster if you are the only one using that line, but I've seen cable capable of producing 18 mps go to less than 1 meg during certain times of the day.
