Internet Speed has to increase with a factor of 1000 the next fitheen years ! ;)
Hello,
To satisfy my Piracy Addication of Computer Games the internet speed to my house has to increase with a factor of 1000 the next fitheen years Fitheen years ago in 1992 I used to play ms-dos games these were usually a few megabytes. Now 15 years later those same games are a few gigabytes a factor of 1000 bigger ! If this trend continues then I and the rest of the world will need an internet connection to the house of at least a factor of 1000 faster than todays internet. Today I have: 500 KByte/Sec down. 100 KByte/Sec Up. In fitheen years time this will need to be: 500 MByte/Sec Down. 100 MByte/Sec Up. A breath taking and shocking speed for todays internet ! Bye, Skybuck. |

Todays backbone speeds are 20 or more Gb/sec, and fibre connections should be able to deliver 500 Mbyte/Sec to the user. Internet delivery of TV is going to need it. |

Nobody is pushing full HD (1080P) at more than about 40Mb/s (and most broadcasts are at half that). Whatever the justification for last mile speeds of that magnitude might be, I doubt it will be that people need 100 simultaneous 1080P streams. |

Multi occupancy flat and residential premises, and multi room TV, may well need a large number of simultaneous connections unless they are all happy watching the same program. |

Multi occupancy flat and residential premises, and multi room TV, may well need a large number of simultaneous connections unless they are all happy watching the same program. Sure, but that's not what's meant by last mile. In the case of a multi-unit building, you either wire each unit separately (common for small buildings), or (usually better for large buildings), you run a faster connection to a switch in the basement and split out individual connections from there. But in either case, you usually don't end up sharing a single connection too much more heavily than you would with individual residences. Now you might in the future, especially if the data rates get as high as has be posited, but it makes little sense to serve both an individual residence and a 50 unit building off equivalent single 5Gb circuits - one will either be significant over served, or the other underserved. At least until the point it technology advances to the point where there's no practical (aka economic) reason to install a circuit slower than 5Gb - although at that point one would expect still faster speeds to be common. |

Isn't it fairly obvious which way the technology goes? - What is used
in data centers today will be in the offices a few years later, and in our homes another few years after that. Gigabyte Ethernet on copper wire has already well penetrated into office use and is arriving now at homes. Optical fibre is being put into the ground all over the world. It is approaching the last mile at least in metropolitan areas. I think you don't need to wait 15 years until your building will be connected to the Internet provider with an optical fiber, whereas the individual subscribers will tap into that with copper wires, very probably carrying the TCP/IP protocol at 1 to 10 Gbps. Speed is then only a question of how much bandwith you are willing to pay for. The physical capacity of an optical fibre is enormous. Your provider will be happy to sell you the bandwith you need. |

Sure you can download fast.. it just means you will reach your cap in less time. -- Jethro[AGHL] aka Phat_Jethro Reply Email: jethro86 (at) gmail (dot) com |
