Bytes, not bits. I have two ISPs, Comcast & Verizon. I needed the |
18 |
redundancy as Comcast for a long time was very unreliable. It's been |
19 |
better in the last year. That said Comcast speeds vary a lot based on |
20 |
what I suppose my neighbors are doing as cable modem is a shared |
21 |
interface. The Verizon 3Mbps service speeds are pretty constant. |

Measured this morning using Speakeasy's page with San Francisco as the |

Comcast cable modem - 22.38Mbps download, 4.27Mbps upload |
29 |
Verizon DSL - 2.89Mbps download, 0.74Mbps upload |

In my home I'm 54Mbps wireless to the Comcast router which might |
32 |
effect things a bit but directly connected to the DSL router. If one |
33 |
goes down I just change a couple of Ethernet cables and start using |
34 |
the other. I suspect that if I went to my wife's machine right now I'd |
35 |
get close to 40Mbps. |

In reality I find that _real_ transfers to other Gentoo computers |
38 |
using rsync typically run around 50% of those numbers averaged over |
39 |
time. |

Point taken about s/S. I didn't know there was an accepted standard to use 's'. |
