Observation: For coworking and hacker spaces, apparently it reduces latency but that's about it for a business-class connection. Surprisingly, the issues of abuse tend to go away as multi-TB hard drives are self-limiting.
Potential Uses:
1. Adaptive media streaming protocols that minimize frame skipping and buffering, and instead gradually reduces quality seem obvious.
2. Outbound streaming to mobile perhaps.
Questions:
1. What is the oversubscription of the various upstream connection(s)? In other countries other than the US, this is a required bit of disclosure.
2. Which port(s) are blocked?
3. What's the bandwidth, ping and packet-loss like?
- JackZielke 16y agoMy Internet connection at home and at work comes from EPB Fiber. 1. oversubscription. I have no idea, honestly, but I do not have any problem maxing out my connection. I have the slowest they sell (30Mb). That is data throughput not bits over the wire so my actual connection is closer to 40 according to my network card. I can usually pull down 3.2MB/s. 2. As far as I can tell only outgoing 25 (to other than their server) is blocked. Incoming 25 works fine. 3. I kinda answered that above. I went to Alexa and tracerouted the top 10 Internet sites (that responded) from my Comcast connection before the install and then EPB right after. Comcast average: 14.5 hops 92.397 ms EPB average: 13.5 hops 37.891 ms Hope that helps.
