Anyway To Provide Your Own Internet?

[Frank Jaeger]

Yeah, hook myself up with a little 1GB connection. That would be nice. Haha.

Frank, how about making your posts a little less spammy. I won't close this, this could be a serious thread.

Basically, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) buys a LOT of bandwidth from a larger source, then distributes the connection in smaller packages to a lot of people. Since they buy the bandwidth in bulk, and sell expensive (compared to what they bought it for), they make a good deal of money.

So technically, if you want a 1GB connection it would be possible. You'd buy x amount of bandwidth and you could use it for yourself instead of distributing it.

Or, just buy an OC-12 connection. (For personal use lmao).

Basically pay for a server, and have it hooked up to a data center, then have a connection be provided to you.. however you are looking at one hell of an expensive connection.

And Frank, please do keep your posts less spammy.

No *WAY* could any one individual (or even a small group) make full saturated use of such a connection. I would have a great time trying though...

I just think it would be funny. It sure would be costly though.

What would your connection be with an OC-12? For ONE computer?

I don't know what I would do first with that connection. Probably try to find the biggest file and download it. lol

HaHa, most likely the one file that would end the internet, people would download it and well.. the internet would stop, since everyone would have a copy..


And I could create and endless file to download.. it is called using an endless loop download.. however I think my server would die before your connection would.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think your hard-drives could write fast enough to store all the data the connection could throw at it. An OC-12 is 655mbps (~78megabytes/sec)! This is, of course, not mentioning the cost - the cheapest I've seen an OC-3 for is $5000 - and thats bare-bones. God only knows what a fully-functional OC-12 would cost. That said, of course, if I win the lottery you can all say hello to biorust on its own clustered-network....

Dreams, dreams, dreams.. If it does happen.. could you share the connection

[ConceptualMind]

Yeah urmm m0g... if you win the lottery any time soon I wouldn't mind you mailing me a check for say... $3 million? That should cover me for a while.

Lets see.. some well placed threats, cyanide maybe.. ahh the possibilities..

I just want a new computer.. I'd be happy with a new computer and my current connection. :-D
