t1 versus cabel/modem

[erik burggraaf]

Hi, Call up your cable company, and ask what their network throughput is.
This is a number between 256 Kbits per sec, and 2 m bits per second.  It
sounds like yours is somewhere between 1.3 and 2 megabits per second.  Then,
Hunt down a t1 provider.  I suspect the network throughput on a t1 would be
between 1 and 3 megabits persec, but will cost significantly more than
cable.
You guys can correct me if I go wrong here.  The best we have here so far is
adsl with a 3.5 meg network throughput.  Maybe Pricy, though, fwew.

You need more space!  Compare hard drives starting at $236 cdn for 120, $304
for 160, and $420 for 200 GB at 7200 RPM.
