This is right off the cable internet service providers website. Plan Name Plan Type (Speed Max) (Speed Min) Exceed 788 Residential 384 kbps 32 kbps Exceed 1350 Residential 512 kbps 64 kbps Exceed 2000 Comm w/o IP 768 kbps 128 kbps Exceed 3500 Comm w/o IP 1024 kbps 192 kbps Exceed 4000 Comm w/ IP 1024 kbps 192 kbps So 10Mbps = 10240kbps and 1024kbps = 1Mbps Then a 10Mbps cable modem can feed their network faster than even the fastest service plan they offer. Do I have correct understanding now? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of L Goodwin Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2007 4:54 PM To: Sten Daniel Soersdal; fbsd2@a1poweruser.com Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD. ORG Subject: Re: 10Mbps versus 100Mbps Cable Modems They probably did it because the number of subscribers has increased to the point that they need to start limiting bandwidth to ensure that everyone gets their fair share. They probably allowed subscribers to exceed their allotted max bandwidth while the number of subscribers was sufficiently low that they did not have to worry about it. Now that they have a lot of subscribers, they have to worry about it. --- Sten Daniel Soersdal <netslists@gmail.com> wrote: > fbsd2 wrote: > > Comclark cable in Angeles City Philippines has > changed > > from using 100Mbps Cable Modem to 10Mbps Cable > Modem. > > To me this seems to be all wrong as all I see is > slower response. > > Is there any technical or performance reason for > any cable internet > > provider to downgrade their network subscribers > cable modems > > from 100Mbps to 10Mbps? > > That reason could be compatibility. > > If you see slower response then perhaps something is > wrong. > Perhaps you should call their support and verify > that you do not have a > mismatched duplex setting? > > Mismatched duplex can come from misbehaving > autonegotiation or that one > end is set to full-duplex while the other end is set > to half-duplex, or, > one end is set to full-duplex and the other end is > set to auto-negotiate > (which results in falling back to half-duplex). > > -- > Sten Daniel Soersdal > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ Luggage?
