NBN 1Gbps.???

From: Don McKenzie on 12 Aug 2010 16:57 Now I ask, what server will be able to deliver a download speed of 1Gbps, let alone have a network, and an individual PC receive it at that speed? Am I missing something? I thinketh we will just be waiting 10 times as long! Just watching Charlie Brown, the so-called tech-guru on Chan 9 today show. He says Gillard is also offering the filter, and Abbott isn't. Telling us as if it is a concrete fact. I doubt Charlie's credentials of being a guru somewhat, but why is he also pushing Gillard as bringing in the filter, when other sources are now saying no? http://www.filter-conroy.com/ http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/08/five-ways-around-the-filter-in-two-minutes/ Cheers Don... -- Don McKenzie Site Map: http://www.dontronics.com/sitemap E-Mail Contact Page: http://www.dontronics.com/email Web Camera Page: http://www.dontronics.com/webcam No More Damn Spam: http://www.dontronics.com/spam USB Isolator 1000VDC For Protecting Your PC OR Laptop http://www.dontronics-shop.com/usb-iso-low-full-speed-usb-isolator.html These products will reduce in price by 5% every month: http://www.dontronics-shop.com/minus-5-every-month.html

I have little doubt that the ends of the system will be enhanced to match the pipes. Not this year. Maybe not next year, but certainly in the very near future. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au

Will the undersea cables out of Australia be upgraded, and if so who will pay for the upgrading. Or will NBNco build us a new mega fast cable to the US.

Well Trevor, the way everything is written today, at a pinch, you may be able to add two numbers together. I remember writing meaningful programs in less than 3FFHex bytes. Reminds me of Bill Gates saying around 1980 (XT days), "Who could possibly use more than 640K of ram?" > I have little doubt that the ends of the system will be enhanced to match > the pipes. Not this year. Maybe not next year, but certainly in the very > near future. I think the mistake that was made was not stating that the pipe is capable of 1Gbps. Yes it will be years before the rest catches up, and when it does, it may well be time for a bypass operation.

The US is not the repository of all human knowledge, much as many of the inhabitants think it does. You need to think outside the box. The needs for a high speed internet connection in the near future may not be the same as they are now. Here's a few random probabilities: * Your local video store will U/L the video you want in a few seconds. No need to drive down the road to collect what you want, subscribe to Foxtel and wait for their programming department or wait hours to obtain it via a torrent source. * Home video communication will be a reality. * Video conferencing will alter business. * Etc. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au |
