Hey all,

I recently got an office with a T1, and I am buying all the stuff left I need to build a system for it tomorrow. (YEAH BABY.) Anyway.... I know there are alot of speed tweaks (registry stuff and such) for cable modem users that really help out. Are there any such things for T1? Seems like it would be the same ones for cable? Right? Wrong? Please advise.

Your T-1 at the dorms is shared is it not? You get 100 college kids dling pr0n (kewl hax0r speeling) and of course it is going to be slow :)

Actually, it's more like 5 kids. One of them is my roommate, and another is next door neighbor. I can get 120+ k/s almost anytime. However, this still isn't enough for me :(

T1=1.536Mbps
OC3=155Mbps

Why do you think you might notice a difference? :) Of course you'd have to have GigaEthernet in your computer in order to get the full speed of an OC3, but I think I could handle limiting the individual computers to 100Mbps.

When I was at school, I think when lots of people are downloading MP3, you get about 75k/sec about 13x faster then a 5.6k modem.

forcesho. what kind of connection did you school have? I am guessing you're referring to KiloBytes in your post, since you referred to 5.6k modems and 75k at school, which would be a 56k modem and 750kilobits per second at school. That's about half the speed of a full T1, so in order for several people to be using it at once and get those speeds, you'd have had to have something faster than a T1.

My school was really crappy, only 1/4 the dorm had ethernet and everyone else had to DIAL UP VIA PPP at 5.6K or 56k modems amd thats probably how they save money, but they probably upgraded by now.. about 10,000 lives on campus and 23,000 total student/teachers/etc.

Well, as long as the firewall and router are properly configured, use low latency DSL tweaks.

With a T1 its more the router than the individual machines that make a difference in throughput.

I am thinking of switching to a 2-way 2-10mbit wireless system here, for my internet. It uses an antenna on the roof, that talks to another antenna in a central location that is tied to a T3 back to the ISP. And don't say the pings will be horrible, it won't, the ping over my DSL (same ISP) to thier gateway is 27ms. The ping over the wireless is 7.2ms. Yeah it kicks ass.

We have a T1 in my dorm too. On Napster, I get highs of about 800k/s. When transfering stuff to my roommate a few feet away, I've seen 980k/s.

When downloading from Microsoft, I regularly see 450k/s.

Yeah, I go to NC State.

I don't know if it bits or bytes. You know how when you download on a 56k modem, it says maybe 4.5 k/s or at most 5.5 k/s. Well like I said, I get highs of around 800 on Napster. To put in perspective, I can download 5MB MP3's in ~10 seconds at my highest connection speed.

But if you average out all of my downloads over the course of a week, it probably be around 500k/s

"So if you are downloading at 800Kbytes/sec. You must have at least a T3 connection. A t3 is 45Mbit"

Most likely, he was pulling it from another student on the 100b-T LAN.
