If your servers port, line a lan card, is 100 mb it can still be connected to a 10 mbps uplink. A 10 mbps transfers 10 megabytes per second, while a 100 mbps connection transfers 100 megabytes per second. With a 100 mbps connection the downloads from your server will be quite abit faster if you have multiple users equesting from the server and you wont get as much "page lag" during heavy useage.TYCB said:It's silly to ask but what is different from 100 Mbps and 100 mb connection port?

Bruce said:And slightly off-topic here, but all these server offers with unmetered 10 mbit ports seem useless, especially if you plan on having any downloads. That wouldn't even max out some broadband connections these days. :confused2
Bruce said:Yes, Galaxy is a bit off it seems.
mb = mbps = megabits per second
mB = mBps = megabytes per second
Since we're talking about network speeds, bits should be assumed.

Bruce said:My issue is will file hosts or other download sites on 10mbit lines.
I have a friend with 20mbit DSL... that's downloads of 2500+ kB/s. When the entire server your downloading from has only half that bandwidth for everyone to share, it's annoying.
Forums and regular websites are fine on a 10mbit line for the most part because the pages are generally small enough.
No one made anything available to me. My point was purely hypothetical. I 've just never liked the idea of an "unmetered" line. A larger, burstable connection with a transfer cap is better in nearly every scenario and would be similar in cost.heymrdj said:Wasn't it enough that the guy made it available for you at all?
Ummm... what? :confused2ced said:100mb == 800Mbpps
