On sites such as 1&1 hosting, it says 12,000 MBit At Your Command.

Does that mean upto 12GB data tranfer per second?

no your only as good as your isp
like saying I'm on a 56k but I'm download off a t1 how come my speeds are only 5kb
speaking of fast ass connections, check out the future of isps with ftth

How fast is FTTH?
Fiber optic cables can currently carry information at speeds greater than 2.5 gigabits per second. Residential/business FTTH typically offers speeds from 10 mbps to over 100 mbps, which is a hundred times faster than most cable or DSL service and over twice as fast as a T3 connection.

No it means that they have a 12Mbit/s input/output capacity,they don't mean per-website ;)

Your site is sharing this 12 Gigabites/s with all the other sites on their servers. The maximum bandwidth anyone downloading from your site can get depends on the traffic at the time.

For us in the UK that is a distant future, only now has almost the entire country been ADSL enabled at 512K :blink: and this is achived through copper wires <_< . Maybee a new form of satilite will our option.

there are quicker services available in the uk if you shop around. I&#39;ve seen 2 Mb/s advertised at just under £30 (&#036;45).

That is really far away I think - maybe 1oo years or so... or not, probably it is possible, but it would be quite quite expensive.

BTW satilite is being used in rural areas atw, with the best services being 1Mbit and going little beyond that, also the service is expensive and you may need to rent the equiptment.

Satellite is fast, however, it sucks for gaming... it takes it almost a second to send a request and receive a response, therefore making it impossible to play games like SC and CS where packets are sent every few milliseconds.

On a side note, how do you like my new sig Mogadishu ?
