Re: Broadband Connection Speed
Here is an article covering the basic differences b/w cable and dsl- http://compnetworking.about.com/library/weekly/aa111200a.htm In short, cable is theoretically faster but since the bandwidth is shared b/w all the cable traffic in the neighborhood, it will very often give less bandwidth per household during peak hours (if everyone in your neighborhood is a kazaa-lite master, every hour is a peak hour) yonah Amichai Rotman wrote: Hi All, At home, I am connected to the Internet through Cable.

I would guess though that its either a provider or site issue. Some sites tends to have more congestion then others, also depending on the time of day. Different providers have different speed connections and a different number of users per bandwidth. Also, do you both have the same bandwidth? > Thanks, > > ::. > > Amichai Rotman > > Short text-only e-mails: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > UIN#: 6401746 > Registered Linux User#: 201192 > > > = > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There really is some difference in favor of ADSL connection, although I wouldn't call it dramatic - 2-3 KB/s. As it seems, cable connection has a bigger part of its bandwidth used by overheads of all kinds. Are you and your friend clients of the same provider? -- Regards, Alex Chudnovsky e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 35559910 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Broadband Connection Speed
Hi All, At home, I am connected to the Internet through Cable. I went to a friend with ADSL. I noticed a dramatic difference in speed in favor of the ADSL connection. Is it possible?
