dotRoot Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Tomorrow Swedes living in Lund can upgrade their internet subscription from 10mbit to 1Gbps, which is quite some jump as 100mbit never was offered.

jimro Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Viva Sweden. I love this Country! We own you all when it comes to Internet Connection Speed! :p I "only" have 10Mbit, looks like i can get a upgrade soon :laugh: Hmm, if a movie takes 10 minutes to download with 10Mbit, i wonder how long it takes with 1Gbit? oh well, between 7 to 8 seconds i guess :happy: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/251091-1-gbps-for-swedish-home-users/page/2/#findComment-585017415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzee Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Unecessary for the moment... I use BBB 10Mbit and its enough for me. Even if you have 1Gbps you cant download that fast as most of people sharing on DC have max. of 10Mbit.

Radium Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 There are about 101,000 people living in Lund. I live a few minutes away from Lund and I still have to pay relativly much for 500/400 kbps ADSL (336 SEK) and I can only dream of using anything else other than copper wires, radio is out of the question. 10Mbps is availible 500m from here. I friend of mine pay somewhere around 250 SEK for 10Mbps. It's pretty unfair, I will never get anything like that as long as I live in this area. Not everyone in Lund can get it and it will be expensive for some to get hooked up. Food is about 25% more expensive here than the rest of Europe (average).

ProfessorX Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 wow thats awesome. my question is... does really matter if u have a TBPS connection? i mean it shouldnt it be the same as ppl with 3 MBPS connections because it really depends how fast the servers are on the other end... right?
