I was looking over the bandwith usage of my internet service for the past 6 months and I noticed something rather strange... Check out the screenshot below for yourself... a spike of almost 35Mbit :Q I remember seeing the spike previously during the "Last Month's Usage" view a few months ago, and the duration was for about 1 1/2 hours, but the scale was only set up to 10Mbit and it was way off the scale... little did I know just how much :
Usage Chart
My normal service is 4Mbit Up/Down with about %10 overhead for the PPPoE connection, and my WISP offers (up to) 10Mbit, which I can attest to actually being that fast, as one of my neighbors with DLS's premier service can download at right around 1MByte/Sec from sites with that kind of available bandwith when he wants 😀
Anyways, my question is, do you think that was that some sort of fluke in the measuring of bandwith, or is my connection actually capable of getting that sort of speed? One of the techs who came to re-calibrate our antenna told me that the radios that they use @ each site (house/business) are capable of much higher speeds than any ISP would willingly offer to a single user/business, but he wasn't sure just how high they could go.
Hell, if that was *outbound*, I could only imagine the *inbound* possibilities... : starts drooling :
