When google fiber rolls out sooner..

https://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Google-Fiber-CEO-Promises-Deployments-to-Additional-Cities-139778

Half the executive board was replaced this past year, and the new CEO, while claiming they will be expanding, refused to go into details about if it would be wireless expansion, or actual fiber deployments.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

Half the issue is ISP peering arrangements. The other half is the servers themselves are half the time only on a 1gbps connection so it usually can't dedicate full bandwidth to a single client connection.

>mfw I'm from Huntsville, AL and this is literally the last city Google will work on for a good while
they're in the middle of implementing their infrastructure, at this very moment

so excite

>>61073035
lmao I've onnly got 1Mbps

>>61073271
nice, hopefully they can get you guys set up sooner rather than later. I've heard stories of people waiting months for google fiber even when 1-2 blocks away has already had it for a while.

>>61073278
Sucks to live somewhere rural i suppose.

>>61073035
Torrents are pretty much your only option.

steam doesn't do too bad.

Star citizen using it's P2P does decent too, but yeah besides that it's torrents, or the occasional web server that i just happen to be one of the only ones downloading from at the time.

Luckily most things download so fast there isn't really enough time for the speeds to ramp up anyway.

>>61073286
Yeah, hopefully. I'm currently on some bullshit Comcast plan that's way overpriced. I get decent speeds- 125/25, but it's pretty inconsistent and periodically cuts out (albeit not as often as it once did)

>>61073545
Around here Comcast actually offers 2gbps for $150 a month. But there is no point to it unless you're an IT monkey who happens to have 10Gbps network gear at home they got from work or some shit.

They want $150 a month, $1000 install fees, and on top of that i'd be dropping $2,000+ on network upgrades just to use that speed.


Comcast needs to get their shit together.

>tfw at&t is blocking rollout of google fiber in your city

>tfw HDD too slow for gigabit

I need to start paying more for Gigabit after I move to another city. Sucks.

How shit is your HDD?

1gbps is only 125MB/s, and in practice would likely be more like 115MB/s at most. Pic related, my 7200RPM HDD writing at ~200MB/s.

>>61073637
at least you still have gigabit. And as long as it' under $100-120 a month i'd still pay for it.

>>61073755
Current price is 39.90 euros a month. I've looked at rental apartments in the city that I'm moving to and the asking price for 1000/100 seems to be from 59.90 to 79.90.

>everyone else is getting gigabit
>I'm stuck with 50 dollar DSL
>comcast won't offer me better service
>won't fix the spottyness when it doesn't work
>when it does work, took me 12 hours to download a YIFY torrent

>>61073782
>>when it does work, took me 12 hours to download a YIFY torrent
that's impressively shit.

I downloaded a 22GB season of some anime last night in 15 minutes and 20 seconds.


>>61073771
Well it could be worse I guess, i'm paying $95 USD for TV phone and 1gbps.

>>61073035
Fuck, I barely can saturate a gigabit connection in LAN. I don't know why but max speeds I get with SMB transfers are 60-70 mb/s, maybe peak sometimes at 80 mb/s and few servers only go 30-40 mb/s speeds.

>>61073833
I've found most consumer routers simply can't deliver more than ~70MB/s for WAN/LAN or LAN/WAN throughput.

The only way I can do it is by disabling traffic monitoring and QoS on my router.

>>61073035
when will services start to be able to actually serve up even half of a gigabit

when full-on live vr porn will become commonplace.

selling high speeds (over 150mbit) is a marketing ploy.
notice how in some countries you can get 3x times speed for virtually no difference in price whatsoever?
because the know your connection will be utilized on level of background noise 99.5% of the time

My city (Frankfort KY) the only game in town for internet/cable/power/water is thru a city owned utility. I kid you not. Really only good thing is that I get a single bill in the mail every month and that excluding the cable cost (which sucks) things are pretty reasonable. But the problem is that 1. bandwidth/infrastructure - they don't got it to support sustained speeds to everyone past ten meg per. 2. Cost - the highest you can get is 100meg which is around $100. So with all that being the case why pay more for something if I won't see it all the time? So I stick with ten meg plan and be happy. (and my wallet is happy to)

I was worried about provisioning when I switched to 1gbps, i figured surely my ISP doesn't have enough backbone bandwidth to sustain 1gbps during all hours of the day.

But here I am 3 months later, and I don't think i've ever seen my speeds drop under ~800mbps.

>>61073856
My router is a Mikrotik RB2011UiAS, and I was talking about LAN speeds, even directly between two machines in the same subnet (router shouldnt affect performance in that case according to my knowledge) I can't even saturate a gigabit connection there. IDK how this router would perform with gigabit WAN though but my current 100 Mbps WAN is easy for it, with FastTrack enabled on established and related connections it barely gets loaded at all and gets full speed with no issues. No idea could it handle a gigabit connection though as I don't have a gigabit connection or would that need an RB3011 or something else

>>61074070
This is where getting a dedicated GB switch that supports jumbo packets comes into play. but to use jumbo packets all devices (switch/server/nas ,etc) must support it

>>61074070
LAN/LAN speeds should be pretty straight forward to get 1gbps, unless you're bridging the ports or some shit.
