A T1 was about ten times faster than a 3-1/2" floppy drive wasn't it? I never thought of a T1 as "slow" until I started downloading CD images for Linux distros

I never thought of a T1 as "slow" until I started downloading CD images for Linux distros. The first cable modem connections I had were so much faster for downloads.
- pests 3y agoI remember being a kid and hearing about T1 lines and being amazed at their speed and how the server for the game I played was running off one. I pictured it as some special commerical offering that was rare to have. Funny learning how slow those are by today standards.
- mattl 3y agoT1 is about 1.54mbit/sec IIRC
- bluedino 3y agoYou could download a floppy in like..10-15 seconds on a T1 It would take a minute to copy the files to a floppy.
