ghostwolf357 Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 Seems unless your on a corporate server the upload speed generally suck! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahaha Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 They do that coz they are either ignorant boobs or want to limit file sharing. I've sent a lot of emails to comcrap telling them to increase upload speed, but they won't listen and don't care. I also told them as soon as a competitor enters the market, I'm gone. Maybe I should be that competitor, but I'm sure it's damn expensive to start your own fiber ISP. And I mean CREATE your own network and use your OWN lines.. not piggyback off the damn cable lines.

eclectric Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Strange the way isp allow for fast downloads but don't want to give you good upload speeds unless you pay for corperate level services from them. :mad: It is based on the fact that for the vast majority of the history of the internet, users downloaded FAR more data than they uploaded... uploading data was always a job for servers. And even now, with homemade photos and videos, users still download far more than they would ever want to upload, so it makes sense to give more bandwidth to downloads than to uploads. And they're certainly not going to make the change on account of people who need it for bittorrent... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclectric Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 They do that coz they are either ignorant boobs or want to limit file sharing. Not really true. Any type of internet connection is ultimately limited at some number X. (X/users for some types of connection) Your upload speed is X-download speed (with some exceptions and other uses for that bandwidth thrown in. Therefor, if they increase your upload speed, they decrease your download speed, unless they increase the total speed of your connection (which does cost money). And since, as I said before, users generally download much more than they upload (and they need real-life speeds for streaming audio and video), isps give attention to download speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowrunner Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 8M/bit down, 512K/bit up which is a huge difference. I wish my ISP would level them up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
