most incredible results. I can download at 50 Mbps and upload at 10
Mbps. Those are megabits per second. A normal ethernet cable runs at
10 Mbps, although we are moving to 100 Mbps and even 1 Gbps.
It is incredible how fast the Internet access is at the University of
Miami. Back in the early days we measured in T1 lines, which are 1.5
Mbps. These days our connections off campus, particularly to other
institutions of higher education, are almost as fast as connecting to
a server here on campus. And our outages, knock on wood, are few and
far between.
I was contemplating this and realized I should do a shout-out to our
Information Technology networking group for the great service they are
providing. So, IT networking, this Bud's for you!
