t1 versus cabel/modem

[Glenn Ervinat home]

I have a cable connection, and I am only using half speed, to save 5 bucks a
month, and I download at around 75 to 80 KB per second.

How does the download rate of  t1 compare to cabel modem. On my cable modem
connection I think I
depends a lot on where I am downloading from. Sometimes I may only get
twenty or thirty kbs/s. When I
downloaded redhat 8.0 from limestone.oregon.edu----i think that was it, it
was more like 360 kbs/s.
