I wonder, what's the speed like?
back at McGill, I could get down/up of 100/100ish... and had 104 one day.

At home, I get 50/50 (usually 51-52 on a good day) so it's still fast, but I have a 250GB bandwidth limit per month so I want to avoid sharing TOO much...

I get around 72mb/s download over wifi and around 110 mb/s when I combine ethernet and wifi :D

Currently, don't have internet to share. :(

My shitty apartment internet tops maybe 1 MB/s download. Seven save me if I try to upload anything.

that's not so bad, 1MB as in MegaBytes right? (not megabits, which is what I used, and what most ISPs use to compare speeds)
so that comes to ~10Mbps of internet speed, much faster than what we used to have at my parents'. There are actually 8 bits per Byte, so it should be 8Mbps, but they usually lose a bit (pun not intended, and more a couple Bytes) because of the connection distance, etc to the download servers

for clarification, a bit = 1 or 0 in the computer code.
a Byte = a sequence of 8 1's and 0's...
a kiloByte = 1024 Bytes (not 1000), and 1 MegaByte = 1024 kiloBytes, and a GigaByte = 1024 MegaBytes, etc.

so when you actually buy a 1 TB HDD, you're actually only getting the mathematical 1 Trillion Bytes, and not the full "Tera"Byte.
it would be 1,000,000,000,000 Bytes, instead of a full TB which is 1,099,511,627,776 Bytes.
Which is why you would see 909976.5GB when it's "empty" (or somewhere around there, I probably did my calculations wrong...) They didn't lie to you that it's a "TeraByte" but it is the mathematical Tera, not the computerized Tera...

because 1000 isn't a power of 2 (binary, 1 and 0) but 1024 is.

why did I start rambling about this? ... ugh

lol, u noobs. I get 600...kb/s download. no lie. Best. Apartment. Ever. I'm moving before PU launch. took me 3 days to download Wolfenstein.

Haha, thanks for sharing

I know that feel dude. Took me 26 hours.

To be fair, Wolfenstein is a huge fuckin game (40 gigs, lol wat?)

I'll do my part. By the power of Google Fiber! /internet he-man

My 100mbps are belong to us.

• MiB = Mebibyte = 1024 KiB
• KiB = Kibibyte = 1024 Bytes
• MB = Megabyte = 1,000 KB
• KB = Kilobyte = 1,000 Bytes

Just my two cents.

I will seed as soon as I get home

155/15.5 mbps
