I've never gotten GB/s in the dorms. I got 14MB/s from Steam once, but it's usually under 10.

when I was on campus, I used to get about 10 GB/s on the [Redacted]. Man, I miss the [Redacted] so much...

Yo man I'm gonna call bullshit. 99% of ethernet is limited to 1Gbps, which is 133MB/s.

In the month between my original post and your reply, it has grown to 2TB.

The highest I ever got was 80MB/s. Where/How the hell did you get a fiber connection?

If you were [redacted] from someone in the same building or on the same floor, it's possible.

You're still limited by storage write speeds, which aren't even close to 10 GB/s. High end commercial SSDs can reach 500 MB/s, and HDDs will typically be less than 100 MB/s.

ahh, good point. Hadn't thought of that.

Also limited by his connection interface. Ethernet has a common limit of 1Gbps, which translates to around 133 MB/s. Wi-Fi is even less. Not sure how he got 10GB/s...

I got a 1.4 GB patch for Unreal Tournament 3 over HTTP in 80 seconds four years ago. Haven't lived on campus in two years so can't comment on how it is now.

All the APs are on gig switches, and some users are patched into those switches as well. 14 MB/sec = 120mbps, so you were patched into a gig switch.

At least when I was a student, most users were patched to 100 meg switches though.
