WOW
Leechboy has unlimited access to T3 internet connection for his work. It is amazing, so fast, speedy and efficient. WOW.
Think I am going to have to put that on my list of employer requirements up there with equal opportunity and good salary - must have T3 internet connection.
I have seen heaven and I want it NOW!
We are getting an Internet2 T3 at work, in addition to our normal speedy internet access.
WOOOO HOOOOO!
I’m green with envy you lucky so and so 
Well I should be grateful that I can drop by and visit leechboy after hours and thus have some access to the wonder that is T3.
I2 T3 is the GREATEST thing ever. I was able to fairly consistently come come close to saturating 10baseT on transfers.
T3? Ha, I laugh at your pathetic T3 connection, bow to me and my OC3 connection and all it’s glory! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
(actually, I only have the OC3 when I’m on campus with my laptop, otherwise it’s just a cable connection.)
[sub] I’m still on dialup sob [/sub]
Feh. I’ve had T3 access from work for about five years now.
T3 seems good now, but wait till you actually see it. Will old Arnold really thrill? Will HE!!!
I’m on T3 at work, too, but since it’s shared by out entire network, it’s neither all that nor a bag of chips; my cable modem at home is faster. But then, my cable generally gives me well over 2Mbps, which is purty durn good for cable, so I ain’t complaining!
I was on an OC12, and what made it even better was I was working overnights and for 6 hours of my shift that entire pipeline was split between 4 people.
Of course, after a while it stops paying off as much. You will still have some downloads that are slow simply because the server is slow or it’s far away. I don’t think I ever got a download speed on that OC12 that would be unachievable on a fractional T1.
My fantasy has always been, in the event of a lotto win, to build the house with an integral network, with stations in each room and in the library and garage.
Then find out how much to get a dedicated T3 just for my house.
[sub]then, two chicks at the same time man. F’ing A.[/sub]
I share your joy.
I still am pinching myself over my cable internet. At 1493.45 Kbps (Kilobits per second—I am told that is near T1) I am a happy camper. I was stuck with a 33.6 connection for YEARS. My modem was a 56K, but the phone lines in my particular corner of Hooterville could only support 56K. I finally snapped one day and got Comcast. I never want to go back!!!
Youngun! I cannot begin to TELL YOU the joy of going from a 1200 baud modem to a 4800* baud modem.
(yesh, not 9600, I didn’t have the scratch for that!)
/me tries to figgure out what 3 mbps up and 300 kbps down is in baud…
