You guys failed to read that he said 15 year old PATA.. as in IDE drives.

So if 1 gigabit is equal to around 128 megabytes, unless your computer is from the stone age, most people should be ok.

I already did the conversion. Why do you think I never mentioned 1gigabit in my reply and only used MB/s

Ok, so who actually has this trial connection?

stop arguing about read and write speeds, who cares if you can't actually download at 1gbit per second.it's free, and it's gonna be way fucking faster than whatever you have. that's all ya gotta know.

why do u guys even care what speed it is? 99% of you won't even noticed the difference.. sure it's advertised at 1gb.. but how many servers out there supports 1gb/s data transfer? you won't even noticed the actual difference when you have high speed xtreme vs high speed warp.. just coz 99% of the site you are going to places you are downloading from you won't reach those speed..

Yes we all know that nobody is gonna really see the difference and that most sites won't even take advantage. Just discussing. No arguing. Besides. A lot of us are outside the supported areas anyways.

hmm... even tho I don't live in the DT area, I wonder if this was part of the reason why my tv and internet was down the entire damn day
