Want 12 mbit/s ? move to japan

btw Denoir  whats the company that provides u with 100mbit?  

Tele2 provides the base network and the company that owns the buildings in my block set up the switches. So the fiber optics belongs to Tele2 and then it's switched to 100 Mbit /apartment.

A very good deal, especially considering the price (20 €/month)

Edit: btw, I hear that all new buildings Stockholm that are now connected by BBB get 100 Mbit. Since bostream is now leading the speed league, I would not be surprised if BBB decided to switch to 100 Mbit for all, any time soon. They have the capacity - it's just a matter of settings on the switches and routers.

damn all this...i get shitty adsl 512\128 for 35€\month and it limits my international dloads to 2 Gb...

Yeah they have at least 100Mbit/sec to each building, but each apartment only gets 10Mbit/sec, or it could get crowded.

BBB has like Tele2 fiber optics to the buildings with a base capacity of a couple of terrabit/s. The limiting factor are the local switches, which until recently for BBB have been set on 10 mbit/s by default. In new built apartment they have set them to 100 mbit/s (just like Tele2 has the last three years). What I'm saying is that they'll probably change the settings also on those switches that are currently set on 10 mbit/s to 100 mbit/s. The base net has the capacity, that's no question about it.

One thing that should be interesting once it's finished is the Stockholm city net. They've been building it for a couple of years now. It's a goverenment project and they are setting fiber optics throughout the city and the suburbs. When it is done, it will have a capacity of 1 Gbit/s per user (apartment). That's going to be cool The network communication will then be faster than local disk operations

I don't know when it will be finished though. It's state built, but commercial ISPs will be running it (renting from the state).

You guys should be happy that you don't live in Greece

ISDN costs something like 60€/month and is only available in Athens, Salonika and another two large cities.

Dual ISDN is only available in selected postcodes in Athens.

DSL, available since October last year or thereabouts, is only available in half a dozen postcodes in Athens, at prices of about 150€/month

That's great, cause I thought they only had 100 Mbit/sec to this building. Hopefully you are right not only about that, but also about switching to 100 Mbit/sec.

Damn you all!

I've been downloading a 140MB file for several days now at a whopping 2kb a second.

I pay $20 a month for this...

To put it in perspective if you tried to download 2000000 MBytes of Information

USING your 56K connection, it would take you approximately

77,504 Hours (8 Years, 309 Days, 8 Hours), 57 Minutes & 37 Seconds;

USING your "Fast" 1.5 DSL connection, it would take you approximately

2,893 Hours (120 Days, 13 Hours), 31 Minutes & 6 Seconds;

USING a 10 Tbps-DWDM connection, it would take you approximately 1 second.
