It would seem that Softbank are not content with waiting until 2010 for 10 Gbit connections they have decided to start a 1 Gbit service this Month

Two words, "I want."

*looks at 5Mb cable modem*
What have you done for me lately?

 

[neptunes]

what would you do with all that?

Unless you're going to host a clan server or something.

 

[Mugen]

Meh, weak sauce. I have 1MB. Sometimes, not even.

 

[Ripclawe]

what would you do with all that?

Dunno, but boy would I have fun figuring it out.

 

[Sledn]

what would you do with all that?

enjoy broadband content like HDTV broadcasting smoothly

^^ or so says the article

 

[neptunes]

keep this away from sony, they'll get ideas.

EDIT: Wouldn't this work with CELL?

 

[MrSingh]

all of us in japan need bandwidth for sharing hentai.

it's the truth.

 

[Kefkaff]

56k owns that shit.

believe me you could easily find uses for it

 

[fennec fox]

25 porno streams onscreen at once!

I was hoping and praying I could get through the entire thread of these few posts and not find something sexually related. So I could post a joke of my own! But darn it.

Bus Molester's Pr0n!!!! err... I meant to say Quality Educational Programming.

 

[Drexon]

I'm content with my 26Mbit line.. I get speeds upto 2.6Mb/s. =)

 

[COCKLES]

Just in time for Blu-Ray rips!

 

[Culex]

Verizon, you better start your 14mb fibre line in places other than Florida and Texas. Lucky bastards.

 

[mrklaw]

OK, so I have 512kb

But considering how shit most of the japanese internet is, what *are* they using the bandwidth for? Thats even faster than most peoples LANs

Isn't this probably what a lot of people said about >1GB hard drives and >4MB of RAM and even broadband in general back when the predecessor technologies were at their most prevalent? (or going even further back, at every stage of technological development)

 

[Buggy Loop]

Is there even an HDD that writes data fast enough for these kind of speeds?

 

[Hooker]

^ Yeah, solidstate harddrives


Although with these connections, you won't need a harddrive anymore. Just big ass servers with everything you might need program wise. Kinda going back to the terminal system I guess

 

[SKluck]

Just give me 40mbit/s constant up AND down, and I will be fine for another 15 years.

 

[Hooker]

^ Not for me.

I already get pissed when I don't use 100% of my connection at a LAN-party (Gigabit port connected to a 100MBit switch) when downloading or a ping above 30ms when gaming


The faster the better!!

 

[MrPing1000]

meh 1mb for £30 a month ($54)
