Throughput

Is a throughput speed of 2.74 Mbps considered satisfactory or excellent? Please advise. Thanks for your time.

It is Excellent as far as I'm concerned!!

I guess it really depends on the bandwidth your cable company is able to provide. This'll change downward when more are on line at the same time as you. The Cable Co. should be able to advise you if this is a good number or not for their system, I would think.

Hope this helps.

 

Lis,

My cable co. advertises my speed as 3000Kbps (I think that's something like 3.3Mbps) and I've only seen it top 2.1 twice in 6 months. Excellent!

 

Appreciate the replies. Shall we say issue resolved, case closed?
Thanks.

Should be fun but won't speed up the internet stuff at all. The oldest junker PC you can find to run windows is still way faster than any internet connection a private user can afford.

High Speed
T1: 1.544 Mbps
T1C: 3.152 Mbps (2 T1 lines)
T2: 6.312 Mbps (4 T1 lines)
T3: 44.736 Mbps (28 T1 lines)
T4: 274.176 Mbps (168 T1 lines)
T5: 560.160 Mbps (336 T1 lines)

But a T1 line can cost $395.00 - $2000.00 a month plus hardware depending on your location while T3 will set you back around $10,000-$15,000 per month.

Your PC unless it's really ancient can handle network traffic (including internet) at 100Mbps so the $10,000 per month charge still won't keep it busy.

 

Very interesting. Thanks.
