Wtf is worse than Dial-Up?

I had the Commodore 64's 300b (that's almost 200x slower than today's 56k) dialup once upon a time. I could actually read text faster than the modem could bring it down.

-- Steve's also gamed on a 14.4k modem. You think lag is bad today...


My first modem? 9.6k. Yes, such a thing actually existed.

Hey! I remember that! Wow... internet has come a long way since then.

I use tin cans and string.

On a more serious note, I believe we have broadband, plus wireless somewhere in the house. We almost had fiber-optics, but the city voted against it.

Well basically, blueyonder, my cable provider (TV and broadband, all through TV lines) are putting in the beginnings of a fibre-optic framework down the country, starting with a main line running from edinburgh to london, which will then be expanded to branch off to the major cities, Leeds, manchester, liverpool, newcastle etc.

So within the next 4-5 years, most of the country will be fibre-opticised.

I think what is worse than dial up is mail sent by horse or what ever they used in the stoneage.
My question- What does Bungie use for their connection. I know that it would be better than T1 but still I like to know.

T1 is just 1 megabit per second, that's below standard for most places now.

Most likely, B.Net will be running on a purpose-built connection that will be running at something like 155mbps up and down. probably more than that due to the sheer amount of traffic. Not to mention you could probably boil water in their server room from the sheer amount of power in there.

I heard that the thing lower than dial-up was a tunnel that goes from your house directly to the bnet server closet. You put what you want on a skate board, then set it in the tunnel and give it a shove.
