Some users know Im working on my own and are probably wondering what scarface will do. The specialist Harkaz and eventually other valuable users will be entitled to download my lite tweaked and sysprep iso. I've left Paris for a while to heal myself. My current connection is not able to upload anything so there will be nothing till the end of the month. Then I can eventually host torrents as I have a fiber optic connection with a large upload bandwidth.

That's interesting. Is your connection composed of fiber all the way to the router or, if not, until where does it reach? What speeds are you getting and how must does it cost? Here, fiber goes only to the node and from there it's coax cable. I currently have 50Mbps/5Mbps (down/up), and I pay $50 for it. Shadow.97 told us he pays less than I do and has 100/10.

I had 100mbs/50mbs but I chose to have 100/10 recently, its cheaper and enough for everyday use. 50mbs in upload is an option that is not essential. And in some case of peer to peer the downloader will be limited by its own connection. The specialist Harkaz has downloaded an custom made iso @200kbytes/s via a private torrent I gave him, whereas my upload can reach 1.5Mbytes/s (10mbs). To have full advantage of the bandwith you have to connect through ethernet, as wifi, at least for me, has a limit of 50mbs. the connection require a modification of your standard access in your home. I dont call what I live in a home, let's call it a cave, so my cave has been equipped by a specialized technician with a fiber access box. This box is linked with the router with a special connector that looks like this: http://upload.ecvv.com/upload/Product/20114/China_SC_Fiber_Optic_Connector_Patch_Cord20114131353262.jpg. The router is special and is not a standard ADSL router. Its composed in 2 pieces for my part. However 100mb access are not mandatorily fiber optic, in lot of countries, there has been 100mb access for years via cable or ADSL. But in this case the naming 100mb is pure marketing, because in fact, the 100mb debit is only seldom obtained, as there is a drop for those too far from the distributors. That's not the case with optic fiber. In France only a few towns are equipped with optic fiber. The vast majority of the population only has adsl.

Some copyright faggots are reporting the links. And there is no a ".torrent" download at the moment.

The specialist Maher is probably a cyberspace yuri and he's very busy. According to what he said he doesnt come here very often. No need to write something in uppercase letters.

Letting you know, we got another free speed improvement on our internet; from 10 mbit up to 20, but do you know anything that could decrease ping/latency to servers? When we got a new router our ping to the closest speedtest server decreased by 11, (currently we have 11-12 ms to closest, and furthest away (auckland Newzeeland) 300) But many of my friends reach down to pings/latency's of 4/6 MS to closest server and about 30-60 to servers far away.

Yes you're right. All links are dead.

shadow.97: if you have a 100mb line, you dont need any improvement. However for classic adsl line, what is called in french "le mode patate" by the specialists, a tuning for the router to have best speeds, tends to make the line not reliable, specially if its remotely situated from the main distribution frame. If yo have problem of random loss of connection then it's linked with this problem, and the provider must be called to lower the bandwidth of the connection.

shadow97: If you feel limited by your connection, use a wired connection, not wireless. With wireless, thats what I obtain with mine: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/94/26390559.jpg/
Download bandwidth is harshly curbed.
Mm the same test gives me 36mb now. The line was broken yesterday. Lately I downloaded Call of duty 3 on torrent since I had played nothing till the first farcry and I plugged a spare ethernet, assurely the download speed was not the same. call of duty 3 gave me nausea so I throwed it away. I can only stand the god mode in farcry1 to kill the mercs

@Scarface - how far does the actual fiber cable go in your bunker? Does it go all the way to the company's router itself, or just to the wall and from there you use either coax or ethernet cable? And yes, I totally agree that WiFi, at least using the current 802.11n protocol, cannot in any way compete with wired for reliability and speed. I've checked both using speedtest.net - the computer with an ethernet cable gets the 50/5 they're selling me, but the tablet using WiFi can do no better then 27/5 even being 2 meters from the router with no obstructions. They're saying the upcoming 802.11ac protocol will end this situation. Let's see.

You're also right that you don't need fiber to the wall or router to achieve 100 Mbps or better. I do think that to offer those speeds, a cable TV company has to have at least fiber to the node or tap. I know this because when I lived in Miami I remember cable company workmen installing fiber to replace the old coax cables. I was told when that was in place they'd offer fast 2-way broadband that was on all the time. Before fiber was installed they offered 1-way 3 Mbps down only, up was with a telephone line and modem.

@Shadow - how really important is ping latency? I just tested my connection and it gave me 27 ms to the server in San Marcos, Tx (see map), and it runs OK.

@MrRockchip - what faggots do you keep running into that block torrent downloads? There are plenty of torrent sites out there. Not only that, getting the torrent file via magnet link if you know the hash is not hard to do.

I dont know and I dont care about what is implemented. What I know is Imnot connected with the traditionnal adsl filter (http://www.houston.fr/82-713-thickbox/filtres-adsl.jpg) but with a special cable. So my old phone line is now empty.
If you really are interested I found this article: http://benjamin.sonntag.fr/Optical-Fiber-in-France-How-it-work-Free-vs-Orange
Anyway I cant stand to live here anymore. I would switch to a 56kbs modem if it were to have a decent room.
