I'm sorry everyone:   My overall pipe is better to Chicago, and since most online game servers are in Chicago I'm set.

Our entire campus is fiber-optic. The local transfer stuff blows away internet speed. I can download near the max bandwidth of gigabit ethernet locally.

Over here in RSA you will not get such speed from any educational org. Actually, I wonder if you'll have that speed anywhere. | ||

The not cool part: I have to take on most of that in student loans. Which I'll be repaying for I don't know how many years after I graduate. Hopefully under 5 if everything works out. At home for the summer I use 5Mbit cable with 512kb up. For regular Internet browsing it's the same; however stuff like the Steam content delivery system (games) it becomes a burden. Something that could take hours to download is done in minutes at school. Result: I have about 1.5TB of storage space that I fill with stuff I might need over the summer so I don't have to put my family through degraded internet.

A friend of mine, a number of years back now (pre-ADSL) used to work in a large telecoms computer centre - around that time he also used to be heavily involved in LINUX (with parts of his code in a number of distributions). So he had a requirement for downloads CDROM's full of LINUX code from the the USA. His answer was to do it at work, and write it to CDROM's - and he used to allocate himself sole use of a 10Mbit transatlantic link while he did it! | |
