Three ways you can tell your Internet connection is freakin’ fast…

  1. You can FTP files to/from your website almost as fast as you can copy them from one folder to another on your laptop’s hard drive.
  2. Your upload bandwidth is faster than your good friend Phil’s download bandwidth.

    ….and the final way you know your Internet connection is too freakin’ fast…..

  3. The CPU in your Linksys WRT54GL router is not able to fully utilize the entire pipe as it is CPU bound!

Verizon FIOS 20Mbps/20Mbps all on a piece of glass about the size of a thick human hair. Yeah, baby.

    Amazing!

    You’ll tell your grandchildren “Kids, when I was younger, we could only upload at less than 1Mbps.”

    “No way Grandpa! That’s like medieval or something. How did you ever get anything done! Can we borrow the transporter today please? We have a play date in Buenos Aires at 3PM.”

    slowpoke.

    I put a 40Mbps symmetric pipe in the school. Unfortunately for RCN, their bandwidth manager wasn’t working correctly, so they had to take the throttle off. It’s really cool having a 100Mbps symmetric connection.

    Less than 2 minutes to download a 700MB ISO. Really Cool.
