Internet in Korea (1 Viewer)

[ALC]

I need to get fios.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

[Alen]

You wanna feel good about your internet speed?

And that costs something around 20 euro per month

Lol

Strange that Ali got better number but yet less ranking.

I'm guessing that the ranking is not based on the speed, it's the average score that users give the ISP, its reputation.

I understand their ratings as I have the 100/50 but I can't remember when I reached 60Mb/s let alone 90Mb/s. BTW I have the Telia fibrenet.

This is on on the South Australian Government server. I work for the South Australian Government obviously...

And here is my home internet

 

[RAMI-N]

I checked my internet connection at home and it gave me 1.69 Mb/sec!
I am supposed to have 16 Mb/sec speed!
Are they cheating on me?

I think you mean "cheating me".

does your isp promise you a minimum bandwidth?

My bad... I was typing from my cell phone

does your isp promise you a minimum bandwidth?

What do you mean?

Check the wording again. If they write upto 16Mb/s then they are not cheating you.

I did. it says the speed is 16 MB/s

 

[Zlatan]

I did. it says the speed is 16 MB/s

16 Mb/s or 16 Mbit/s?

 

[RAMI-N]

16 Mb/s or 16 Mbit/s?

In Germany they call Internet 16000 which stands for 16000 KB/s!

What's the difference between MB and Mbit?

About a 45 kilo fat girl arm.

What do you mean?

I don't know how it is in Munich, but here, the bandwidth is actually shared by all broaband users. So even though 16 Mbps is the bandwidth allocated to you, you might not get that full speed if there are too many people on the internet at that time. That's one of the reasons I get really good download speed in the night, but it sucks in the morning.

So if the ISP says 'upto 16 Mbps', then you can receive anything between 0.1 to 16 Mbps. That's why I asked if the ISP promises you a minimum speed.

bit (4)
noun Computing
a unit of information expressed as either a 0 or 1 in binary notation.
ORIGIN 1940s: blend of binary and digit .

byte |bīt|
noun Computing
a group of binary digits or bits (usually eight) operated on as a unit. Compare with bit (4) .
• such a group as a unit of memory size.

A Mb is around 1024 KB, so 16 Mb/s would be around 16 000 KB/s.

1 Mbit/s is around 130 Kb/s, so 16 Mbit/s would be around around 2000 Kb/s (off the top of my head).

Thanks for the explanation, Sheik...
I must ask the company about this point.

Thanks guys.

Also, 1 byte = 8 bits. So 16 Megabits\sec = 2 Megabytes\sec.

 

[RAMI-N]

Also, 1 byte = 8 bits. So 16 Megabits\sec = 2 Megabytes\sec.

That makes sense, since I'm getting 1.7 MB/s for downloading...
