8/20 For DSL, do the upload & download rates share the same bandwidth?
\_ No. Typical DSL is ADSL (A for Asymmetric). The bandwidth is rated
for download/upload separately. I get about 1.5Mb/s dl and about
128Kb/s ul. At work we have business (in our case symmetric) DSL,
with 1.5Mb/s ul/dl. Though the minimum guarntees are less than that.
\_ Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Can you get both 1.5Mb/s dl
and 128kb/s ul simultaneously? Or just one or the other, or in
some combo?
\_ I have not found this to be so. If I am using all of my
upstream bandwidth, the download suffers badly. It's
not as bad the other way around. --PeterM
\_ ACK packets need some tiny but non-zero bandwidth.

\_ as usual, the right answer was google. why do you fucks keep
posting dumb questions in the motd?
\_ If you pull that stick out slowly, it might not hurt as much.
\_ did you even read your own link? it doesn't answer the OP's
question, dumbass. if you're going to get all RTFW on someone
and post google links, at least POST THE RIGHT FUCKING LINK!
\_ Funny, didn't see anything helpful in your post.
\_ I don't know the anwer but I'm not posting worthless links.
I'm usefully pointing out that reading that link for the
answer is a waste of time and the link poster is a fool.
Thank you for your guidance and useful assistance. |
