HIS UPLOADING SPEED FOR HIS INTERNET CONNECTION IS LIKE 25MBPS, INSAAAAAANE!!!!!

You call THIS, big files? Get Dropbox, you'll be happy. :)

@fslinky07 Dropbox is $10 a month. It would cost you far less to use google storage or amazon storage and cloudberry free app. .69 a month or so.

@kieranmullen2 there is some gb free. And soon there is going to be Google Drive, a dropbox/like service.

@MakayMurray 25 is larger than most email systems allow. Most users could easily pass this and not the 2gb file.

[kieranmullen2]

@fslinky07 Dont you have to pay for that?

[MakayMurray]

when i think big file i think 2GB and upwards.. a 25MB file is rather small

Once you share your video the recepient has access to you google email account. So not good.

@SkedgySky Google has a 10 Gbps (10,240Mbps) fiber optic backbone running into the heart of their mountain view campus, they actually throttle their connection to prevent bottlenecks. Hence why they are working on piloting a fiber to the home ISP that provides a 1Gbps (1,024Mbps) connection.

While most ISPs provide a symmetrical connection, faster download than upload. Fiber and backbone lines are symmetrical and consequently cost twice s much as the same tier of speed in asym.

@Hokrollo1 Yeah I got the B b thing. But listen to this, I just went to a speedtest website and it tells me that my connection now is 4 Mbps, which is just a little over the minimum required by law. Right now there's a project in congress to change the law, from 10% to 70% minimum. I understand that there are variables that make it impossible to precise the connection's efficiency, but to me it seems that 10% is really a rip-off...! If not the law or the speed, they should change the ads.

@grandexandi

Well I suppose it's because it's simply impossible for the companies to for example give you just as little as 80 % efficiency in rural areas outside the big cities. But if you live in the big urban areas I'm pretty sure you would get 90-95 % efficiency all the time, as that's the places where they keep the servers. Also what I mean with 200 is that it says 25 Megabytes per second (MBps), which is 200 Megabit per second (Mbps). Those are 2 different kind of numbers. 8 bit = 1 byte
