Darth 09-03-2002, 12:25 PM Yes they have there own servers, this doesn't help ned i asked about the connection and where they could of got it from. ned patter 09-03-2002, 12:26 PM Well how the earth do we know?:) . Darth 09-03-2002, 12:28 PM You don't know but other people might know. mdrussell 09-03-2002, 12:42 PM Why not traceroute from there and see who it goes through? binasys 09-03-2002, 01:21 PM If it's higher education, it's more than likely connected to JANET (http://www.ja.net). Darth 09-03-2002, 01:24 PM Yes, ja did show up. shaunewing 09-03-2002, 01:45 PM Probably a frame relay or fibre connection through the telco to a high speed network/ISP. You can basically get a connection any speed anywhere as long as you have the dollars to pay for it. --Shaun. mcfcforever 09-03-2002, 01:51 PM The townhall, where my school is near has a t1 connaction. This is then split between about schools around town. So it comes out very slow. Matt Darth 09-03-2002, 01:56 PM to bad :D shaunewing 09-03-2002, 02:00 PM Originally posted by mcfcforever The townhall, where my school is near has a t1 connaction.

Matt My school had a 64kbit (128kbit when they felt like activating both channels) ISDN connection being shared among 3 computer labs and all the staff computers. Believe me, you haven't felt slow until you've used that during lunch time when everybody is using the connection :D --Shaun Darth 09-03-2002, 02:04 PM ouch, i get 560, thats when it's busy :D shaunewing 09-03-2002, 02:07 PM Originally posted by Darth ouch, i get 560, thats when it's busy :D Don't worry, I'm reaping the benefits now that I'm at University which has the budget for a faster connection. For some reason I seem to get around 2000kbytes/s when it's busy :D --Shaun Darth 09-03-2002, 02:09 PM :angry: shaunewing 09-03-2002, 02:17 PM Rofl :) IGobyTerry 09-03-2002, 07:30 PM My school (high school that is) has a Dual T-1 Lines. Too bad all the computers suck too much that it even matters. For example we have like 700MHZ Gateway computers, which isn't bad. However they are so slow that multi-tasking is near impossible. I've offered to be like a "lab assistant" or something, but nope instead they go with the morons that no absolutely nothing about computers. |
