Actually, I don't know what you're referring to. And for the record, Qwest offers a VDSL product which is capable of up to 26mbps. You are talking about apples vs oranges.

There is no reason Orbitel can't support 10mbit/sec as long as their network infrastructure can handle it. And I'm not talking about the 'lines' out to your curb, I'm talking about their actual router backplanes, network backbone and uplink capacity.

I was referring to the maximum connectivity of g wireless

Per 802.11g specifications, 54mbit/sec is the rated speed, not your actual speed. It can be significantly slower based on many things like distance from AP, signal strength, interference from other devices operating on the 2.4ghz range, and most importantly protocol/application overhead just to name a few. It is very common to see 25-35mbit/sec on a G wireless network. so if Jason is geting 40-45 than I'd say he is getting great performance. And I'm sure he meant wireless LAN -> LAN speeds, not wireless LAN -> WAN.

I still see nothing wrong with Jason's statement.

we use Quest... We came from COX...

Sometimes Quest can be a little slow... </div>

It was slow this week as a matter of fact.

Just doing it one day at a time. Change is good and it should be looked upon as an improvment! not a problem.

WPA and firewalls turned on, I can pull around 40-45 Mbps over my wireless connection. My friend, you need to drop these petty arguments. WPA is not causing someone to not get their 1-9 Mbps down.


Jason, FINALLy you say something stupid. First of all a G connection is capable of UP TO 54 MBPS and the fact that you say you can pull 40-45 MBPS proves that you ARE showing a loss.

T


I never said that there wasn't a loss, I said:

1. There wasn't enough for the "average joe" to notice, because there isn't.
2. Rarely do I need to actually move that much data at once, and if I do, I'm more likely to actually plug into an Ethernet port at home or work or wherever.
3. It is not a 10-15 Mbps loss. Turn off all encryption, firewalls, and boot your computer in Safe mode with networking and you will still not be able to pull 54 Mbps. 54 is theoretical.

Secondly, no provider in history is providing that kind of speed yet in the US. LMAO.


Are you trying to show-off something here? Because from my post it is clear that the 40-45 I get is on transfers between computers on my LAN, not to the Internet.

If it causes a 10-15mbps loss in your wireless connection, think of the loss in your actual connection.


Think about this statement. Think about it really hard. Do you see the problem? If I am getting 40 Mbps on my wireless connection in transfers between computers, I am not going to lose any speed going out to the Internet. My wireless transfer speed would need to drop below my provider's speed before it would begin to impact my connection to the Internet.

Thank you! That's exactly what I meant.

Jason, forgive the n00b question, but how are you properly quoting entries in your responses? When I hit 'quote' it appends the quote /quote tags in brackets, but the forum does not appear to be parsing this correctly, much like the smiley faces where it just shows the html div code.

It's not a n00b question at all. The forum software isn't working right when you reply from the quote button, so what I'm doing is composing my reply from there, copying the text out and then finishing the reply from the Quick Reply box. For some reason smilies and quotes work there.
