France telecom is offering 2,5Gbps (not a typo) to some parts of Paris for 70E a month. It comes with 1,2Gbps upload and the first two months are free. Sounds good to you ? 
For those who understand French, the OFFICIAL anouncement is here : h__p://www.francetelecom.com/fr/espaces/journalistes/communiques/CP_old/cp060725.html |

Lots of stuff can pwn a t1 line, they're very fast but not the fastest! Even if they had a 2.5 Gb/s connection their HDD wouldnt be quick enough to swallow that much data flow unless they had some kind of RAID setup! 
Code: T1 - 1.544 megabits per second (24 DS0 lines)
T3 - 43.232 megabits per second (28 T1s) OC3 - 155 megabits per second (84 T1s) OC12 - 622 megabits per second (4 OC3s) OC48 - 2.5 gigabits per seconds (4 OC12s) OC192 - 9.6 gigabits per second (4 OC48s) Internet2 Code: 101 gigabits per second between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles |

The hard disk isn't really the problem. It's that you can't really fill 2,5Gbps with anything. No server will give you this much b/w (and p2p doesn't even come close). I wonder where this thing connects to on the pc. USB 2 = 480Mbps, PCI = 133*8=1Gbps are not enough, so you need a network card (not ethernet but something with more b/w) on a pci-express slot. |
