Message: [QUOTE="manleyzoo, post: 2392155, member: 519"] Alas, it's not the modem it's the motion (sorry, couldn't resist). It takes about 3 mbps to stream a movie, TV show, etc. About 7 to download a movie, maybe 1.5 to view a website. You get the point...you have an abundance of speed at 20mbps to pretty much do want you want when you want. I'm maxed out at 13 on a good day, live 2-3 miles from town where there's 60 - 100mbps. Kinda pathetic, too. The culprits are the telecoms...most of the data lines are copper which drastically limits transmission speed no matter what the capacity. AT&T and that crowd will only lay fibre where they can turn a serious profit by doing so. Will be years until we all have high speed broadband. [/QUOTE]
