TYO Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 its great in half term, I have hit 500KB download speeds. but during term time it dosent seem that fast. im sure lots of our bandwidth is wasted on youtube but youtube is a "learning tool" so cannot be blocked. We also have 2 VC units we are looking to set up. sorry whats RBC?
SYNACK Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 We've got 2mbit, we could only dream of a connection like that. Which Utopian city are you in, or have you got a time travel package on your internet line as well and are posting this from the future?
kmount Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 500KB/s isn't a 100MBit line. Did you mean 10?

TYO Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 were in south east london, costs us about 18k too. just did the speed test and got 42788 down and 73150 up maybe i meant 5000 I cant remember now.
linkazoid Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Were in East London, Must be a good synetrix line..... And we still get people moaning that the internet is slow.... No pleasing some people. Mike
TYO Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 just rerun the test after most staff have gone home (inset day today) and got 80000 I have had lots of people complaning it is to slow, a few times I have had to point out that its running slow because 25 out of your 30 students are on youtube and not doing anywork.
Antp Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Hi, at our school we get 6mb/s download in iexplore!
Guest Guest Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) We have a 100mb/s RBC line. The highest ive ever seen us get is 4MB/s download so around 32mb/s in real life. Not too bad i suppose but when you consider Virgin are about to role out 50mb/s to your home around here, and we have 350 concurrent users, 32mb/s isnt really much tbh.

Sylv3r Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 We have 10 mbit here and in no hurry to go to 100 mbit. We probably wouldn't get anywhere near it with our ISP anyway.
DMcCoy Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 We have 100Mb Leased line... Costs us a fortune tho about £18,000+ We paid just under that for our 10Mb this year, next year the 10Mb is going to be 30k+
dgsmith Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 We get a 100mb line from CLEO after christmas. At the moment we have internet through the air at 12000/6000, which I suppose for radio waves, isn't all too bad. However, it's been terribly unstable recently with wireless cctv camers being put up in the area, so for the last 2 weeks, have had wired 20000/1000 (upload was horrid considering when the classes use moodle all at once!)
Face-Man Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I assume that you meant to publish this in a different forum... It would be a long pipe from London to liverpool
tomblack123 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 we have a 100Mbs leased line and it is very fast can download whole service packs in a matter of minutes. We use the Internet Provider Stream Networks Stream Networks - Excellence in IP - Business to Business Internet Provider for our leased line and provide excellent low latency service
dgsmith Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I assume that you meant to publish this in a different forum... It would be a long pipe from London to liverpool Yes, I didn't see it was in the London GfL forum at the time

sach Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 You can search for companies who can provide 10mb and 100mb leased lines quite cheaply. Worth "Googleing" it.
sach Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 There is a company doing 100mb and 1GB leased lines in London quite cheap. Worth Googling for 100mb leased lines. I believe they are doing them for around £800 a month.
ful56_uk Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 our county council put the ground work in last week for our 100mb line which they are paying for just waiting for BT to put fiber now the ducks now. They had to go through a new car which a bursar laid 6 months ago lol
martynbez Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 yep we have one! got to love the download speeds!
Fruity Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 We have a 100mb Line, which we've had for 18 months or so now. Pay a small fortune for it though. Anyone getting a faster connection than 100mb at the moment?
