| 568631 | 2007-07-13 05:43:00 | Hmm, school just got a 10Gbit fibre connection, havnt tried it yet, but 40 is pretty wow.. | jermsie (6820) | ||
| 568632 | 2007-07-13 06:34:00 | Ahhh! The illusory fibre network, rather than copper. Funny thing is I know for a fact that UnitedNetworks installed fibre in many places on the North Shore back in the late nineties, problem is no-one is using it :waughh: I liked this quote (as I'm sure will winmacguy) "The most difficult part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt's PC," said Jonsson. |

| 568635 | 2007-07-15 12:50:00 | United Networks is an electricity lines network company though for west auckland and the north shore? If they laid fibre, wouldn't it be just for electricity purposes? A dvd downloaded in 2 seconds.. dayummmmmmm! |

| 568636 | 2007-07-15 13:25:00 | Not just a DVD... a High-Def DVD!!! :D Geez we dont even really have HD-DVD's here in NZ :( All the more reason to need a 40G/bit pipe to the 'net so you can pirate them :P ...did I just say that? |

| 568637 | 2007-07-15 13:59:00 | Geez we dont even really have HD-DVD's here in NZ :( Yes, we do (I know, we can get them from DVD Unlimited, that is if we had a HD-DVD player :() It’s more that NZ HD-DVD players are too costly at the moment :( (That is if you don’t have an Xbox or a PS3) |

| 568638 | 2007-07-15 18:44:00 | United Networks is an electricity lines network company though for west auckland and the north shore? Correct. If they laid fibre, wouldn't it be just for electricity purposes?... Back in the late nineties (when I worked for them) they had a few strategic thinkers still working for them, and whenever they did any electricity undergrounding work, they laid fibre in an adjacent conduit. A few people could see the potential even back then... Hey, they even did a big project investigating delivering internet connectivity to consumers via the power lines, but the technology wasn't up to much back then - there was too much background 'noise' to make it viable. |

| 568639 | 2007-07-15 20:46:00 | Even if you theoretically could download a DVD in two seconds - your pc couldnt write it to disc in that time. I just did a small test and it takes 20 seconds to shift a 700mb avi from one SATA2 drive to another. So that internet connection is many times faster than a pc could use. |

| 568640 | 2007-07-15 21:00:00 | I suppose you could always install >10gb RAM as a download buffer...... Still it would be nice to have the bottleneck under my control... I wonder what Telecom would charge for a 40GB/sec connection you could use your monthly data cap in 1 second! |
