Hi All,

Newbie here. I just wanted to get a few opinions on some ideas I'm working on. Here goes.

I have a 100Mbps enabled ethernet connection at home that sees an average of 20Mbps download and 15Mbps upload from Speedtest.net

I am trying to get a feel for how popular this service would be with you guys who are into hosting, home businesses etc.

What would you do with a connection like this? Static IP no problem.

I can also have my connection up to a full 100Mbps or GigE with some network reconfigure and fiber. Expensive of course.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Simon

Resell it to my neighbours, and put @home out of business. Oh wait, they're already out of business. ;)

bet you $1000 bucks you couldnt do it


at least in my house im still stuck with good old 56k

got to love cox. wants us to pay for part of the upgrade needed on the lines when its not even our lines

Sounds exactly like my friend's college dorm room connection. :) Except yours is at your home.

How did you get an ISP to give you a 100 Mbps connection, that has to be fiber.. Is it a Vdsl beta test or somthing?

Lets just say I used to work for the ISP. It is fiber to the riser, cat5e from there to my suite.

I would never leave the house, never change, never commute again. Oh yeah did I say I would never leave the house? :)

So you want to know how popular this service would be, right?
Let me say, I think I would like to pay $200 max for a service like that. If it's more expensive, I would stay with my cable service.

What do I do with it? Buy a server and host my won sites, watch porn videos online, playing death match Star Craft, etc.

I personally think when all are offering connection faster than 1Mbps, the upload speed is the key. I may not move to a 20Mbps download, but for 10Mbps upload, I would like to pay much more than what I am paying now.

That's right in the price range.
