If you had a Gigabit internet connection Up/Down in your Home....

What would you do?

How would you business change?

Would you do your own hosting?

How would your business change?

i'd host most of my own stuff for sure... mission critical stuff would need some redundancy though

V_RocKs · 06-11-2011, 05:05 PM

It also depends on other factors like the are the first and second hop going to be upgraded too?

While I have 30mb/30mb I usually only download at 3mb and upload to 2.4mb because between me and the server I am working with, there are a lot of hops and they can't handle 30mb.

In Canada you'd get a gigabit connection, but would be limited to 60GB per month unless you bought bandwidth insurance.

I've got a fiber optic connection and I can easily run through my allotted bandwidth in a week. Even a pathetic 20Mbps connection is more than this backwards country can handle. I don't even have NetFlix.

Need more jobs in Canada? Chop down trees, kill some animals, build a bunch of useless buildings. Meanwhile, the rest of the world heads into the future.

As soon as our natural resources start getting (seriously) depleted, we're toast. Canada has no plan for the future, no hope of keeping pace with a technologically advanced world.

Sounds a bit like Australia.

Back in the mid 1990s they introduced cable modems, with a speed of 10Mbps (I think), which WAS fast then. Catch is there was a ridiculous 100MB download limit, with excessive penalty rates after that. The net overall was a lot slower back then but it was still easy to go through the download limit in less than a day.

Someone likened it to driving a Ferrari on a racetrack, but you ran out of fuel 10 seconds later at the first turn.

My business would change one way or another...

Emil · 06-12-2011, 03:09 AM

It wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't host my own stuff since I dont get enough IPs.

CurrentlySober · 06-12-2011, 05:03 AM

i cant afford a 'home'...

DWB · 06-12-2011, 05:09 AM

I'm happy if I can get a consistent 2 mb/s download.

One of the main reasons that I'll be moving out of Thailand soon. The internet speed is KILLING me.

How else do you think you may alter your business model?

seeandsee · 06-12-2011, 07:08 AM

i would sell hd webcam shows with my self

leg4 · 06-12-2011, 04:05 PM

With that kind of connection, maybe you would do live Web Cam shows?

Nicky · 06-12-2011, 04:56 PM

I have 100/100 now so It wouldn't change much. I heard from the company that has my fiber that we will be getting a 1gb option next year, I'll probably pay the extra $20 or so a month that will cost

30/30 is advertised in Mbps.. Megabits.. if your upload bar/most download tools show in MBps MegaBytes per seconds. so 3*8 (8 bits in a byte so * megabits in a megabyte) would put you pretty spot on for maxing your connection.

That's what happens when Bell lines the pockets of the CRT, owns the biggest media outlet in canada, causing it all to be hush-hush and pushes for these rules to allow transfer limits.

Bell does not own all the fibers (unfortunate for them) but they can justify pushing these changes by showing bandwidth costs.

All-in-all Canada got fucked in this game. I pay the same as I always did but get LESS now. Sure I have blazing fast speeds but that's all. Nothing to use it on.

Rogers has a 150mbit line now available in many places, but even that has a 150gb/Month limit then up to 25 cents per gig extra.
