I know there are alot of different types of connections out there. Just to name a few;

ISDN, 56K, cable, dsl, t1, t3, oc8. I know there is probably more. But I don't know any more.

Now, I have a T1 connection, but no knowledge of its speed capabilities. Or for that matter, any of the above.

I was just wondering if anyone of you knew the speeds and maybe some history, and if you know of more.

Is T1 a good one, which one would be the best?

Just food for thought.
 
hey, thanks for that site. I was just curious to find out the best. But who can afford the best. I'm just running a T1 ethernet based connection. Terribly fast enough for me. :lol: :lol: :D :) :p
 
just beeing curious......i use a LAN connection, but its always full, so for internet i dont get is full capabilities( my speed is limited to 128KB/s).
so my curiosity is ......the data is transmitted trough a 8 wire cable, what is each wire for?
i know one is ground, one is sync, clock.....i think, but what are the otheres?
 
RJ45 Data Leads

Look at **broken link removed**
RJ45 connectors appear to be the usual overkill - we (UK) also have 6 pin connectors with 4 core cable for telephones that only use 3 terminals!

Life is confusing !
 
now we are talking about connectors, can anyone describe to me Cat.5b, otherwise know as cat 5. Just for fun.
