Steam's Bandwidth

Yes, I know that... If you get what I mean, it can be multiply lines hooked togerther to get 60GB\sec... Your you imagination, but w/e Yeah for Steam bandwidth, stop quoting me...

Huge datacenters don't even have 60 Gigabits of bandwidth. You're either horribly mistaken or horribly stupid about bandwidth. The cost of such a "connection" would be the hundreds of thousands each month, probably more.



Even your claim for a T1 at $220/mo seems pretty damn low. $400 is a pretty good estimate for just the T1, without the local loop. Exactly what provider are you getting all this imaginary bandwidth from?

WHy do you even give a care, huh? If you care so much write me a bloody Email saying why you care.... No need to talk about my stuff here... This is about CS:S steam BETA Updates, so Anyone check it out yet??? I dieing to play some CS:S already.... Anyone else gotten to a LAN Center or a place that has it?

WOW, your a bunch of stupid fucks... Lets stay on topic... I don't lie about my internet... So why don't you all just piss off, and live your lives...



Let see how many more people can rip on me... Hello Government = money, datacenter = government = money = internet provided to other services... Read stuff, before you post about stuff you don't have a mother fucking clue about!



K you can all shut the hell up now, THANKS!



Last thing... If I get Emails about my internet or SPAM from anyone here, and yes I will know if it came from somewhere, I'll tracert you bastards... I'll be pretty damn pissed, so have a good night... THANKS!

I care so much because I hate to see people that are either horribly mistaken or blatantly lying. You're trying to dodge the conversation now.

Seems like someone's a bit miffed on being called out. Let's result to mindless name calling. In the post above, you said to e-mail you, and in this you say you'll "tracert" me if you find any e-mails about your Internet. Oh no, a tracert!

Uhhh, I do other things... SO have a good night... And yes, I mean you can Email me about internet nad other questions, don't become a massive FLAME\Spam thing ok??? Do you get that concept.... I don't think you under stand any type of concept... Also if I were dodging I would leave...



Good night...

11 and a half days? No wonder they preload.



As far as P2P goes, I think it's really the legal system. Everyone who signed on with CS 5 years ago had their own EULA, and then again with Steam (right? I can't remember); I haven't read it, but I'm betting nowhere in the EULA does it say they can use your upload against your permission except for the uses it's already used.



That said, I think P2P is a wave of the future; like Splenda is to sugar and artificial sweeteners; like DVD-rom is to CD-rom. Eventually the internet should be completely based on a P2P system.

Why would someone lie about their internet connection? And more to the point, why would anyone care?

Simple: T1 does not go beyond 1.5Mbit. A T3 might, on the other hand, but that would be much more expensive.

[ColdSun]

superm0nk is indeed correct. I have a t1, price is around 499 including the local loop, 32 ip addies, but to the point. its 1.54 up and down. No where near 2 and extremely far away from 3.



Im not sure why you'd like about hard proven facts Linux about having a t1 line.



As for a t3 which was mentioned, a full t3 for those wondering, tupically costs 4500 or so.. and offers 45 up and down.

I have DSL, living practically across the street (I think it's something like 400-800 feet); and I get like 1.4 or 1.5 megabit, I think.



It turns out to be roughly 160-170 kiloBYTES per second, but only when I connect to some ultrafast site like windowsupdate.com. Usually it's in the neighborhood of 100-130 kB.

linux is just trying to sound clever, which he failed miserably. didnt he once say hes 14, or 15 or close to that? wow, all credibility out the window mr school boy.

Almost 8Gbit already. Looks like they are really preparing for the precaching tomorrow.
