Impressive download speed!!

Here's how the story goes, I normally leave my lap top on at home for some '24 series' download. Currently, downloading the whole of season 5. It will normally take a month to download the whole season. I was required to attend a meeting in Maxis and brought my lap top there. I didn't realize that my download program was still running. Anyway, I was busy having meeting.

During the night, I was checking the status of my download and was shock that it was completed already when I just started downloading it a few days ago. I was puzzled and was wondering how it was completed already for the whole season. So, I look at the completion time and found out that it was around the time of the meeting. I did a calculation on the max speed on the fastest commercial line and it could not complete that fast. ha ha...

The next day, I went back to the meeting and have a quick speedtest.net on the connection. Wow!!!, you guess first how fast the speed was before looking at the screen shot below? Wth, why didn't they commercialize this speed to people? Definitely, there will be some people how might want to get it even though the monthly charges would be quite high

Hmm.. will keep this screen shot as an indicator of how long will this speed will come to consumer level. Lol You guys can have a go at the guess.

Well, some of you might say that I paint brush the screen shot or whatever. Well, it's up to you to believe it, if any of you have been to the Maxis building please check the speedtest.net website for speed concurrence. Thanks!

P.s How do I cut and paste the screen shot to a spoiler section. Admin please help.

wait till reach 3GB limit... then check the speed again...

Haha! Download more, 3GB faster reach.
After 3GB reach, 54.4Kbps.

LOL!

So...should all of us have a meeting at Maxis? Lol.

LOL 7ms and 20mb/s? i thought wireless got high latency?

^^ Same as above.

Maybe for the first few week or months, you'll appreciate the speed...but once they realize you are a heavy downloader...say bye2

+1

You lie ah?

...wait a second...TS talking about Maxis WIRED Broadband or WIRELESS broadband?

wireless i think, because he say he bring to meeting or something??

..just re-read the topic...and yeah I think TS is talking about WBB. But the latency does not make sense Unless TS house is right next to a Maxis cell tower

The title is bit misleading

You're using Maxis Corp line - which is meant well for their staffs and outsiders. Its meant for meeting use. Generally you're getting raw uncapped speed. If they sell that speed to consumers , chances are we will not be getting the maximum speed or they would set a data cap

Data cap will definitely for consumers only.

Since TS stated that meeting were at Maxis, means that TS at the main server, thats why TS getting superb low latency.

Maxis Wired Broadband, manage to get a cable from a person...

Sorry, I don't know how to insert multiquote, so replying to Prasys:-
No la, why is the title confusing you?? I was in the Maxis building using their corporate line. Only wondering when this kind of speed will apply to us (consumer) in the future? Singapore has already 10 mb connection and we are still behind (Malaysia Boleh!)

Wow, hmm.. don't know how fast it will take to download those long drama Chinese series?

so, technically u committed a crime (illegal download) right under a local isp's nose, in their office somemore. keng. wonder how they are going to answer should 1 day MCMM run thru their data logs. lolz....

I think sweelee meant downloading personal backups of tv series...no harm done

lol..sure...i bet we all love doing that. backing up movie and animes off the net. u know, we cant tell when skynet will initiate u see, so we hv to back em up before its too late. no harm done.

what can 54.4 kbps do??

Watch HD streaming

still in great speed even downloaded >50GB.....
