Does the winner get a prize?

I'd say T-3 (or E-3?)

I would say yes, but I have no idea what the answer is.

Bah, just find a workmate/friend who owns a copy and borrow his CD. You're only going to need install it once, and the CD is only useful ingame for the music, which becomes annoying when you're playing online.

Q2 must be the most widely owned FPS game in existance... No need to buy a copy :)

1.1 megabits per second

Run the test again Discuss in the forum
Details

Your raw speed was 1127168.52 bits per second which is the same as:

Communications

1.1 megabits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet

Storage

137.6 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how file sharing and FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.

1MB file download

7.4 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.

A T connection is 11mb/s, therefore a T3 is 33mb/s.

You prolly only have a few mb. It generally depends on what your using it for - I guess your not hosting anything.

A 33mb connection costs a fortune, esp. in the UK. For example a 64k line in a large city will set you back at least £200/month. For an 8mb connection your looking at well over £18k/month.

This isn't some crappy broadband connection with a contention ratio we're talking about, its a dedicated bandwidth stream with a tight SLA.

Not that there is such a things as a T connection in the UK ;)

I always thought a t1 connection was 1.5 Mbit/sec

Not an exaustive list, but close to it ;)

The T1/T3 etc standard was created by AT&T in the states many moons ago. It stands for Trunk level 1/3/etc.

  • T1 is 1.544Mbit, using 24 lines bonded to create one larger line. This standard is available in north america, and presumeably south america & africa.
  • E1 is 2.048Mbit, with a useable bandwidth of 1.920Mbit. It uses 30 bonded channels. This standard is available in europe & japan.
  • E2 is 8.448Mbit, using 120 bonded channels. Available in same places as E1.
  • E3 is 34.368Mbit, using 480 bonded channels. Available in same places as E2.
  • DS-3 / T3 is 44.736Mbit, using 672 bonded channels. Available in same places as T1.
  • OC-1c (Optical Carrier Level 1) uses fibreoptic cabling, using 672 bonded channels.
  • E4 is 139.264Mbit, using 1920 bonded channels. Available in same places as E3.
  • STM-1 / OC-3c is 155.520Mbit.
  • DS-4 / T4 is 274.176Mbit, using 4032 bonded channels. Available in same places as DS-3 / T3.
  • E5 is 565.148Mbit, using 7680 bonded channels. Available in same places as E4.
  • ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is 622Mbit.

(And now, for some large ones..)

  • OC-256 is 13.271Gbit, using 172,032 bonded channels.
  • OC-3072 is 159.252Gbit, using 2,064,384 bonded channels.
  • DWDM (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing), used in fibreoptic cabling, is 2.56Tbit.
Nyum.
