d12agonxboi · 07-31-2002, 12:32 AM

how much does t1 cost a month? doesnt it cost a couple of thousands? or is that an oc (edu) n splitted so much that it turns into a t1?

It depends on who you go through. The library I am working for is paying about $1,400 a month for full T1.

But I have seen it advertised for as low as $500 a month. It might be dropping in price though, because the thoroughput is not that much more than a cable modem or dsl connection: 1.5 Mbps.

It is actuallu slower than my cable. It is about 187KB/sec downstream and my cable gets 240KB/sec. The only advantage would be that the upstream is the same 187KB/sec as the downstream and my upstream is 45KB/sec.

SnowSurfer · 07-31-2002, 11:49 AM

my neighbor has cable and its extreamly fast (i dunno no one on my street has it besides him and he doesnt dl anything he just uses it for email and stuff) so yea i am going to be zipping along...i will post the down and upstreams once i test them at dslreports

Speedfreak · 07-31-2002, 12:14 PM

Ya, dslreports is right on target for me..

raimin · 07-31-2002, 12:18 PM

shuckks, no cable internet where i live

and i live too far for dsl...They said they can connect me but i will get less the 300 kbps, I dont think thats worth 50 bucks

So my $10 a month dial up is all i have

i6s1 · 07-31-2002, 04:02 PM

I get my cable modem installed on Friday as well. I pay about $19USD per month for the first 6 months, then $23US after that. Its a pretty good rate compared to the cost in the US.

I moved out a month ago. I have had no TV, no newspaper, no internet, and no phone line. (I do have a cell)

It will be nice to get hooked up again.

SnowSurfer · 07-31-2002, 07:35 PM

speed what are you on? those are mad speeds!

bachviet · 07-31-2002, 09:21 PM

I want to uncap but it's kind of tricky with the router!

You kind of answer your own question. Well, no.. we are talking about my connection. Right. It is RoadRunner. It is capped @ that speed. That is good and bad, but more good. I can't get like 1MB/sec when no one is on, but with it being capped I know that (and I have) I will always get this speed. I am just happy to know that for the same price dsl or some other cable connections, I am getting faster speeds.

SnowSurfer · 08-01-2002, 06:26 AM

just out of curiousity....is it easy to uncap?

Who the hell gets 1 MB/s?

bachviet · 08-01-2002, 09:01 AM

He probably means 1 Mbps, which is equal to 125 MB/s. I get almost 2 Mbps with Time Warner RR but I want to uncap to higher speed.

He is already getting 2 Mb/s, which is roughly equivalent to 250 KB/s, which is around 1/4 of 1 MB/s.

SnowSurfer · 08-01-2002, 11:05 AM

1 mb/s would be a sweet dl speed wonder where u can get that...lol

I don't know anyone personally, but it is possible. I forget exactly what the capacity of a cable modem is, but it is at least 10Mbit which is 1.25MByte. If you have an uncapped modem and there is not many people on the network, it is possible. I have heard this of people on Cox awhile ago. I don't know if they changed it.

So, yes I meant 1MB/sec. That is 1/5 T3 speed.

Yes, I get 2Mbps always on my downstream. I am capped so it is never more, but I am always guaranteed that.

A typical T1 runs about $900-1200/mo, depending on the provider & the length of the contract (at least in my area it does). I've never seen it as cheap as $500/mo - that would be great! I think prices vary quite a bit depending on your location.

For hosting or critical business use, a T1 is still the best option. For surfing & general internet access, you really can't beat cable and DSL.

SnowSurfer · 08-02-2002, 11:19 AM

guys this roolz!!!. i am pulling 95 kb's on kazaa i will post my test results in a bit

man this roolz!!!!!!!

i6s1 · 08-02-2002, 08:17 PM

I got mine setup too. I pulled down 380kbps from Nvidia's site. For some reason, they gave me a USB ethernet adapter instead of a PCI. My case was open and everything. I think I'll sell the USB adapter and get a PCI. I don't like all the wires I have, it adds to the clutter.
