GPL Cable Modem Upload Bandwidth

by Paul Harringto » Fri, 18 Jun 1999 04:00:00

Can anyone who hosts GPL (or anything else for that matter) with a cable
modem tell me what upload bandwidth they get? I have a new UK cable modem
which has been limited to 128 Kbs upload bandwidth (which is a pain as I am
limited to hosting 10 clients). Is this true elsewhere? I am told that
upload must be a fraction of the download bandwidth. The download bandwidth
is limited to 512Kbs, as i am sharing a 27Mbs feed with (potentially) 700
others.

Any help would be appreciated.

GPL Cable Modem Upload Bandwidth

        On any cable modem setup, Download bandwidth is what makes cable modems
so great.  There are only a handful of hosting parties such as web pages
and online games and ect.., There are a large number of downloading
parties though.  So, Downloading is more important to the internet and
ISPs then uploading is. (just my opinion).

        I can download at 396.xxx/second with my cable modem to my cable ISP.
But, I can only upload at a very reduced rate/second.  I don't know what
that upload rate is.

        To answer your question, YES, your upload rate will be smaller then
your download rate.  By how much? I don't think there is any kind of a
standard(?)

I can download at 300 kbit, but upload is only 64 kbit.

I have 256K up AND down with my cable modem.  Still can only host 7-10
reliably on GSB..
