Is 100 mbs a fast connection to the internet. what is a fast speed?

100mbps is a very high speed for DSL. Usually it is fiberoptics (FDDI) that is 100mbps\nThe fastest would be internet backbones and they are measured in gbps.

Nope, Connection speed shares when some computer is receiving or sending something. Like opening a website is Receiving and sending an e-mail is... sending.

what is the difference between the 10/100 ethernet card and the 10/100/1000 ethernet card? \n\n... the difference is the speed the cards are capable of - the 10/100 is capable of both 10 and 100 Mbps, and the 10/100/1000 can also transmit at 1000Mbps\n\n-are the two types replaceable to each other in any computer?\n......That depends on the card - if they are both pci cards going into a pci slot, Yes.  If you are pulling an old ISA card out of an old pc... No.  Further, 10/100/1000 will only tranmit at the highest speed when connected to hardware that also handles the higher speed... Cat5e cable for instance (cat5 only handles 10/100)\n\n-when and where these card are used?\n\n.....the cards are used for network connections and/or connecting to highspeed internet (DSL or cable modems)  They use Ethernet cables to connect to the device.\n\n-what is ment by the numbers 10 , 100 and 1000 in these types?\n.......... previous answer handled this one.

depends on computer and connection speed to the internet

Because when they say 2.5mbps, that's 2.5 megabits per second.  When you download at 300k, that's 300 kilobytes per second.  2500/8 = 312, so your download is going about as fast as it is going to go.  Getting a 10/1000 won't help if your ISP doesn't support faster than 2.5 anyway.

It depends...\n\nYour internet will only ever run at its maximum connection,\nFor instance you probably have DSl/Cable at home lets say it runs at 3MB download and 850KB Upload (extremely fast speeds, most DSL/CABLE is slower), your internet will never ever run faster than those numbers.\n\nMost ethernet "numbers" are for networking, It is for transfering files between computer over your network.\n\nIf you have a 25Mb game file that you want on another pc and they are networked with 54MBps ethernet then it will take aproximately 7 minutes to transfer...\n\nNow if you have 108MBps it will take half that time: about 3 mins.

Ethernet is 10MB\nFastethernet is 100MB\n\nover the past few years there's less and less 10MB\nthe basic LAN connecion these days is 100MB with a back bone running 1GB or 10GB.

Nope! The speed of your internet connection does!

The fundamental difference between dialup and broadband Internet connections is the manner in which the connection is made from your PC to the Internet. A dialup service connects to the Internet through your phone line. The modem in your PC "calls" an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and connects with a maximum speed of 56,000 bytes per second, better known as a 56K speed connection. Each time your PC dials into the ISP, it is assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address, which you can think of as an "Internet address." A different, unique IP address is assigned at the beginning of each visit so that the ISP can recognize your PC and make sure you can send and receive email, surf the Internet, and so on; basically, this address lets your ISP know where to send the information you are requesting through your modem. In terms of hackers, in order for someone to gain access to your computer, it would be necessary for them to know your IP to successfully do so. The fact that your IP address constantly changes essentially makes your Internet connection more secure.\n\nIn contrast, when you connect to the Internet via a broadband Internet connection, the process is slightly different. Once your PC is connected to the ISP through a cable or DSL connection, it remains connected until the cable box or DSL line is disconnected or physically unplugged. A DSL connection runs through unused wires in your existing phone line without disruption and can translate data at 5 million bytes per second, or 5Mbps. Broadband services are often referred to as "always on" services because it is not necessary to make a setup call to your ISP each time you wish to access the Internet; this means that once you are assigned an IP address, you keep it until you request it to be changed. We'll learn how to do this in a later newsletter.\n\nConnection speed and price are two important considerations when choosing between dialup and broadband. Dialup connection speeds make it more difficult to view certain types of media, such as video, and it can take much longer to download and open email attachments, play online games, and so on. Although the slower connection speed is a disadvantage for dialup users, there are also a few advantages to using this type of connection, which include lower monthly charges and a higher level of security. The cost difference is obvious when comparing the $20-30 per month subscription fee for dialup and the $50-60 per month subscription fee for most broadband services. In terms of security, because the connection is not "always on" and because you are assigned a different IP address each time, it is slightly more difficult to be attacked over the Internet, although nothing is ever fool proof and risks still do exist

20MB is not really that much. That is probably average for visiting websites and checking emails. Graphics, sounds, etc. on some sites take up more bandwidth, plus the computer itself talks to the ISP's routers/servers every once in a while. You are fine.

Depends on the exact speed, and on what you need it for. Unless you're doing a lot of bandwidth-heavy tasks, the slowest speed is probably fine. If you don't like it, you can always upgrade...

5E has a 100GHZ bandwidth and will support 1-gigabit Ethernet up  to 100 meters.\n\n5 will support 100 base-T 100Mb to a  distance of 100 meters.\n\nCat6 has 250GHZ bandwidth and may support 10-gigabit ethernet to around 35 meters if certain procedures are followed and certain things exist (or don't exist).\nSo, basically, you can't tell if CAT6 will run anything over 1Gb without testing in the actual installation. Then there are mitigation steps you can take to make it work better (looser cable bundling, greater separation, and stuff).\n\nCategory 6A (augmented) has a 500Ghz bandwidth) and will support 10-gigabit to a distance of 100 meters.\n\nIt is near ratification.

the further i go from were i live to d-load the slower it gets\nthats normal\nmy i.s.p.  rates the connection at 10mgbt\nthe fastest ive gone is about 300kbs thats pretty quik\n\ncheck you connection at =\nhttp://www.broadbandreports.com/tools\ngo down to speed tests\npick a test server in your area....and go from there\nits just simple java transfer, and mesures up and down

Honestly, NO!  The speed of the internet is all based of the the speed that the data is sent through the system.  We have the Technology to make the internet 1000 times faster, BUT, people would loose too much money, and evolution would not be correct anymore.  So no matter how you look at it, man is holding man back, and the net will NOT speed up until they decide to release more technology.

http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=3912  And you connection will never be 100 Mbps.  This is the connection speed on your internal LAN.  Internet speeds are usually around 1.5 Mbps for DSL and 5 Mbps for cable, and you will still never hit these speeds with torrents.  You should be happy with average speeds of 100 Kbps.

Not really,typically the expression refers to the number of visitors to a site, page, or message board.\n\nDistance could effect speed of a connection, but typically only a few seconds assuming you are going across the United States of course your data bits could go through a path where other people are sending their data bits through and that could create slowness.\n\nHere's the Wikipedia info because someone will probably post it.

The speed on bitcomet has nothing to do with the connection speed really but the number of "seeders" that have the file you are downloading. If only one computer has the file, your speed may be 2kb which is slower than dialup. If a ton of people have a file, you can get over 150 or whatever.
