i dunno how many cable providers have the actual backbone capacity to dish out 100mb/s.

most likely very few

Wow, that's a lot. Lol, on DSL, I have 2Mbit, but the telephone lines in most houses aren't up to handling much more speed. Either everything broadband will go cable, or, BT will need to completely upgrade their infrastructure to even begin to handle speeds such as 100Mbit.

100MBps? Firewalls barely handle all the shit going on at 7MBps.

I want to see it now.

*waves* lo Denzii.

Damn wait. I don't have cable so I guess it won't help me. *teehee*

Won't be in for another 5+ years in the UK, I'd say more like 10 years TBH.

IMO the way forward in the UK is for people to set up community wireless networks. Filesharing with your neighbors is cool. Just requires someone with the will to set up a few old machines as servers and host an open WAP, or distribute the key.

Were do you get your technical information, 1992?

Notice the <i>entry</i> level model can perform firewall analysis/throughput at 100mbs (which as i'm sure you know equates to 12.5MBs). That's entry level, with stateful packet filtering. And it only runs a 266MHz processor. Oh my!


Here's comparison chart with the Enterprise level appliances compared to the device I linked above:

Note the X5000 and X8000 firewall throughput (400Mbs, and +1Gbps respectively). The tech is there, when the market is ready they'll drop it down to the consumer.

what firewalls are those Rep? My remote offices use pix 501's which I would consider very low-level, boasting 10 MBPS of throuput (unlimited users--which tells me like 243 nodes tops), and our 515e, while nothing special supposedly does twice that (I'd dispute that claim, though). Checkpoint firewall-1 circa ~2000 cleaned house with a sustained 45 MBPS and .01 ms port failover latency back in the day and NG-1 kicks ass at well over 500 MBps(but in the real world, probably more than double that). The $41,556 price tag wouldn't be practical for home use. Smoothwall reportedly does very well, from 20-90 MBps, and given the available hardware is free.

I was talking about personal (software) firewalls, clowns.

ill take a solid 10Mb anyday over a 100Mb system with a bunch of problems

using the technology they rape from multinational communications companies after severing multiple contractual agreements? Hahaha they'll become blacklisted by every global teleco on the planet yet, leaving them struggling with this shit for decades to come.
The real problem with cheap car-salesman tactics by a country growing as quickly as China is innovation suffers, stifled by a fear of faceless credibility, that coupled with little control over corporate direction leaves investors cashing out, thus market domination may be an illusion.
or I could be calling it from a narrow point of view but still I'd be seriously looking elsewhere for income right now were I the CEO of AT&T.

:lol:

What newb uses those?!

Aside from that you're still wrong, personal firewalls are mostly dependant on the capability of the host system since it's the CPU that does the packet analysis. But that's neither here nor there, since only newbs use software firewalls in place of segregated firewall solutions. And we care not about newbs, right?

oh, hey there didn't see this, guess beating a dead horse, is always bad form... my bad.

What I'm most interested in, is broadband over powerlines.

I haven't heard much on it in recent years, but I was researching it quite heavily a few years ago in an attempt to spearhead the initiative in western Canada. Cisco is working on appliances but they are being pretty tight lipped about it so far.

From what I do know about it, it will change data communication in a pretty large way.

Their not designed for propper throughput, using a propper firewall such as through Linux would be able to handle it. And no, I'm not being a cunt about Linux > Windows, but it's a fact.

things are a little different in NA. we can't throw rocks at someone on the other side of the country.

100mb download? So what about the upload? (upload is what I've been most interested in lately)

Man that would be nice. Verizon is installing FIOS right now in our street and I'm still trying to decide what package to get

Up to 5 Mbps/2 Mbps $39.95
Up to 15 Mbps/2 Mbps - Best Value $49.95
Up to 30 Mbps/5 Mbps $199.95

100 Mbps, not 100 MBps.
