Thread: What Is Your Connection Speed?

The insane connection speed is because my internet is tied into the university's network.

If its that fast... and tied into a university... well a T3 line is 44.736 Mbits/s so... 100Mbit/s is the standard defined by 100-base T
From wikipedia:
In computer networking, Fast Ethernet is a collective term for a number of Ethernet standards that carry traffic at the nominal rate of 100 Mbit/s

Your connection to the campus network could be 100Mbits/s but your internet speed would be substantially slower... I suppose you could be tied into a fiber line that runs with the internet backbone though, or your university might rent multiple T lines... eh IDK
