From work PC. It’s cool watching that little speedo going up and down..felt like I was in a Ferrari…. :wink:
Just glad I’m not on Thorsten’s speed. No wonder you hate lots of graphics Thorsten :(
Dave (Joolsveer)..that’s a very nice connection you’ve got..

8)Don’t overlook latency. It’s the killer on WAN (e.g. broadband) connections. The KB/s (capacity) is often overrated at expense of emphasis on latency (speed). Sure, KB/s is important, but the latenc affects the handshaking that effects every packet of user data (download, copy, upload, etc) that goes over the wire. The higher the latency the longer it takes to go over and the longer the system level handshaking takes.
The way I’ve sold a corporate solution in the past was: If I choose a 10MB over a 2MB line between Dublin and Cork, it just means 5 times as many people can have the same rubbish service. Reduce my latency and I can improve the interactive quality of the service.
From my current client’s network via a proxy and a filter. Think it’s a 4MB line but it is pretty busy. Usually getting twice this on downloads.
This is from work.
A satellite connection through Smart [????] Telecom!!
