YES!!!! Temporaily irresistible!

[secularhermit]

In the communism of Venezuela we barely started to use 4G in wireless connections. Fiber is not that fast yet and VERY FEW people have it. I dare to say that 50% of city user are on DNS connections by telephone wires, 10% on fiber of INTER and the rest (like me) using wireless modem of 3G... So all of you are blessed, since here there is a SLOW conn I would call "temporary" + irresistible (Years and years of slow movement)

I'm trying to figure out why Google wouldn't automatically load-balance the servers and give you the ones with the most resources available.

10G is only the beginning, too. The speeds of the internet will rival television broadcast speeds in the near future. Think 40G+ , enough speed to run your entire watching life through your 'smart tv' set, smoothly, with no lag time whatsoever, running multiple apps/websites/games and watching multiple actual tv shows (if you want) on your tv .

It almost makes your brain explode, doesn't it

Now THAT will really be "fast, flawless, playback," Hisservantstriker


------------------------
The idea of entertainment everywhere will be all the more real, plus, 3D,too, will all be possible, with no lag (and no glasses) in the not too distant future, all possible because of Google Fiber lightspeed-fast internet bandwidth speeds.

That's just my take and thinking, looking into the future, and, to me, it tells us all, that Jesus is coming again soon. Like a thief in the night, from the sky. And, when He does come, it will be at light speed, that is, if a blink of the eye is THAT fast

H.265 allows for compressed 4k HD in the 30-40 megabit range. Not sure what on earth one would do with 10 gig other than uncompressed 4k (and you couldn't do two streams on 10 gig, you're right you'd need 40).

The real choke point is where ISP's peer with one another links are usually 10 or 40 gigabit, and are designed to aggregate thousands of users. Even a push to 100 gigabit won't allow for enough peering for subscribers actually using a gigabit of bandwidth. This peering issue on youtube is a good example of that. I'm asking for a few megabits and it's choked past usablilty.

ROTFL!!! This thread just made my life.

This connection might be fiber, but the speeds on youtube were dialup level. A 3g smartphone would have smoked it. It was that bad. Specifically, it was around 80-90kbps, so around two dialup modems after overhead is factored in.

Peering agreements with other ISPs most likely. ISP's have become content providers themselves now. They have the ability to deliver far more bandwidth than they can ever make good on if they could only keep you inside their network. While connections get faster and faster across the world, the hidden battle that is fought will be whether or not providers will actually play fair when routing to each other's content distribution networks.

Either that or Google is finally going through some growing pains with all of the content they push. This problem has spanned multiple isps in the Northeast so it may in fact be Google is struggling in some areas to meet demand. Most of the trace routes i've done to their servers seem to go through 10 gigabit links at some point in the chain (and I'm not some super hacker, I only know that because the URL in a traceroute says 10gigE lol.

I certainly care just ummmm have no idea what it means lol...

I am young and blonde a lethal combination of ignorance

Don't say things like that...

giving a list of specifics makes it so much harder to justify my OWN ignorance.

: )

What they don't know can't hurt them. I'm simply requesting content from a server in a region where their peering to my ISP isn't slow as molasses.

Google knows. THEY KNOW.
