I have a cable connection, and I am only using half speed, to save 5 bucks a month, and I download at around 75 to 80 KB per second. ----- Original Message ----- From: "monte single" <mrsingle@xxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 4:51 PM Subject: t1 versus cabel/modem How does the download rate of t1 compare to cabel modem. On my cable modem connection I think I depends a lot on where I am downloading from. Sometimes I may only get twenty or thirty kbs/s. When I downloaded redhat 8.0 from limestone.oregon.edu----i think that was it, it was more like 360 kbs/s.
