angelsong Posted September 21, 2005 at 11:17 PM Posted September 21, 2005 at 11:17 PM I'm thinking about getting dsl, the speed I will have is 768k/128k, under verizon dsl. I was just wondering how long a download of 70-100mb would take on speed like that. I know, not as good as cable. I would be happy if it cut an hour or two off of a 5 or 6 hour download (dialup) and 10-13 off an mp3, because it takes me on dialup like 20mins sometimes Quote http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/angelgrrl/forumstuff/fanban.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/angelgrrl/forumstuff/xfiles.png(Newspaper Mulder is looking at reads: All this conjecture about little green men - false, dangerous, delusional.) Scully: Shouldn't that be my picture next to that headline? Or is that you just having a little fun? Mulder: Do I LOOK like I'm having fun, Scully? Scully: You look constipated, actually. Mulder: That would make sense. I've had my head up my rear end for the last five years.
Bellamy Posted September 22, 2005 at 05:08 PM Posted September 22, 2005 at 05:08 PM it should be about 12-14 times faster than a 56kbps modem. Quote Please support the forum by ordering everything through our special Amazon.com link Click here. Thank you!
angelsong Posted September 22, 2005 at 07:19 PM Author Posted September 22, 2005 at 07:19 PM anything faster than dialup will do, lol. thanks. I'm paying $15 for my dialup now, so I figured I should switch to that instead .

Koolan Posted September 24, 2005 at 03:01 AM Posted September 24, 2005 at 03:01 AM Ya, that new Verizon package for $15 is great, sure beats dialup for just a little more. 56k modems can download at around 5kbyte/s whereas the 768kbit DSL will go at around 94kbytes/s. 100Mb file will take approximately 18 minutes to download.

It takes me about 3 hours for about 30 or 40mb. for 70mb it was like 5. The 100, I don't even want to know I guess that means with dsl I will need a bigger hard drive I only have an 80gb right now, in the market for 200 . ^sorry for all the smilies.

AllCeline Posted September 26, 2005 at 04:31 PM Posted September 26, 2005 at 04:31 PM Hmm... I had DSL, and a 100MB file would download in about 4-5 minutes... I guess it all depends on the speed. But it is worth the money. WARNING: High-speed connections are VERY addictable!!!

I know verizon also has also 3mb one, maybe you have that? just a guess lol @ addictable. The reason I may need the bigger hard drive before I actually get the dsl. I'll get one and name it Celine Quote http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/angelgrrl/forumstuff/fanban.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/angelgrrl/forumstuff/xfiles.png(Newspaper Mulder is looking at reads: All this conjecture about little green men - false, dangerous, delusional.)
