***** we pay for 180 MBps and we get 30mbps download and 25Mbps up.. but the ping is great, because i followed a study about ipv4 and ipv6 and networking.. the ping is 11ms
Here in Luxembourg, fiber to the home has been rolled out maasively, even to houses in remote villages. We get nowadays a full 1Gbps download and 500 Mbps upload. It woeks amazingly well and changes te way we use internet.
Absolutely correct! Once you go higher you're limited by what you're connecting to like Netflix. They regulate the connection you get so they can offer it to more people. Unfortunately you can't tell Netflix that you have gig speed and want a gig connection.
Traybair Most enterprise services will be able to max out your connection. They have to have the bandwidth to handle thousands and thousands of customers.
actually talked to the mayor about this and they mostly leave it up to the service providers to decide if a town or city needs upgraded services which could be a long wait considering they will wait as long as possible before having to spend money to upgrade their products
So to download GTA V at the average speed would take 4 hours?? HAH I laugh at that. With my 1.2 mbps speeds it would take me 5 days and 3 hours. Also to upload 1TB of data it would take me 4.6 Months with my 0.7 mbps upload speed. Do I win yet?
My dad's getting 'fibre' but in the UK it isn't true fibre because it runs off fibre to a street box and then old copper cables that were installed in the 80s. Shame the only true fibre isn't in my area.
I live on a university dorm so I have gigabit. Everytime I go to friends or home to mum's I'm always in pain over how slow it is. When I first moved in I didn't think I could use it, but you really can. Files are getting bigger and bigger and if you want to host something for a lot of players then you need that upload. It's also nice if you are more than one in your household. Good luck having multiple Neflix streams with youtube, game updates, backups etc. on a "normal" connection.
I have gigabit and I can't go back. I love that huge games on steam etc only take less then 10 min, lossless audio blu rays, no prob. Also I transfer a Lot of files on my server and like you mentioned in video it's just more convenient using as back up when it's that quick. But that's what I love about gigabit, bandwidth. If you have huge family and everyone is on at the same time all the services just work like they should no one suffers. Even if people are downloading like I said it's only like less then 10 mins, you are not hogging up the internet for long. Plus you have services that have 50-200 mbps and the upload is like 4-20 mbps (ie 10% of your down speed) it's absolutely abysmal especially in this everything in the cloud and sharing age, or using servers to stream or access data. With gigabit you get same up as down. My area is gonna go to 12 gigabit in next few years so it will be true 1 GB/s or in this case 1.5 GB/s. right now it's about 117 MB/s. Plus especially once 4k gets bigger you definitely need gigabit. Also with fiber I think you can get within 30% off the speed of light, so that means you'll have amazing ping, must have for fighting game fan like myself where input lag can really hinder the enjoyment of those games. If you have it available pls support it, make these companies know you want it. There are lots of companies that use fiber to the node, that why you can even get like 100-300 mbps plans in some areas, make them invest in fiber to home and you can have gigabit. A lot of no name companies use these fiber nodes and do the extra work that's why you have these weird no name companies popping up that can offer gigabit while main providers don't. All comes down to cost vs demand. It's totally frustrating my neighbors have cheap 50mbps plans for 30 bucks and gigabit is only about 100. But they'll pay hundreds for TV. That there is sad truth that most people in america are dependent on classic cable services. Not realizing you can get great services online. I watch everything online now, but even I need to subscribe to low tier plans just to be able to use their online apps, it's so backwards here. My next computer build and hardware will have to have 12 gigabit ports to take advantage of this. So already planning ahead.
I agree, Classic cable and/or not having unlimited data is garbage, data needs to be unlimited and if network speeds didn't get faster then there would be no Improvement/Advancement in tech, internet wise.
I miss the times when actually family spend their time together. Not on TV, not on the Internet, each and everyone at their own screen. I agree that more speed is good for a family. However we should never forget the real games we can enjoy together as a family - playing things outside without Android.
Where I live the internet provider says that 'They can't connect it to where I live since it needs to go underground to connect' But it connects right to the house
Some things that was failed to comment on in the video is that you are assuming people are just using 1 computer to access the internet through 1 access point. If people are using a computer, laptop, Cell phone (for data while at home to save on data on their plans), tablets, and lets not forgets those game systems that connect to the internet. Now, I have 2 computers, 2 laptops, kindle, 4 cell phones (or more), and a gaming system all connecting to the internet, sometimes all at once sometimes only a few and really only 1 system stays on when people are asleep because I use it for keeping a game on idle while it boost an item while I go afk. Now having said that, if you have just 3 computers using the internet, 1 somebody is using for watching shows, 1 somebody playing game, and 1 for normal browsing, you will see a lag in the gaming system and the video system because both of those are going to take up band width. The normal browsing won't be effected very much and might not even be noticeable. So, if you are in a house where you have several users on different devices trying to do some high bandwidth stuff, there is going to be lag or slower connection if you don't have a connection to cover it. Also, one should realize that your ping on your PC increases dramatically if you connect a Gaming system like the xBox or Playstation to your network. Something to be aware of and know that higher pings are worse for your internet connection. If you have 1 computer a gig might be way overkill if you are not doing anything special with it. But throw in several devices doing lots of high end internet stuff and ya you need higher connections.
You forgot a primary use - Work From Home. Unlike web use, WFH work requires a much more symmetrical service because of all of the file upload that occurs. I upgraded my 50 MB to 100MB for $5 not because of the download speed, but because the upload doubled from 5Mbit to 10 MBit. The impact on my WFH was considerable. Gigabit is a no brainer because its symmetrical and will likely provide me better performance than I have a work. They just installed my fiber yesterday. I will be on the phone with Cox today because the online hasn't recorded my upgrade yet. I'm pumped up to see what this will do.
It seems like with every service upload sucks. Just got one of this 802.11ac routers and I get around 70 down wireless and 90 down wired. However my upload is STILL a shitty 12 Mbps. Whatever I'm not a content creator so I don't really care.
Andrew Mackoul My upload is better than download during peak period. www.speedtest.net/result/4515478700.png It is 80Mbps vs 50Mbps. At night, it will reach up to 100Mbps
My area started rolling out gigablast from Cox a few weeks ago and they offered it for $5 less than the current price, we do have their fastest cable internet which I think is 150mb, but it is never that fast. The only problem with gigablast is that your router and your wifi is your bottleneck and unless you plug directly you won't take advantage of all their potential. overall its a huge improvement.
Even 3 years later the answer for most people is no. A lot of people seem to think they do though. Only in niche scenarios does that speed come in handy and in many of those the other end won't be able to push or receive at that rate anyhow. You can have all the speed you want but on consoles or steam you won't get anywhere close to 1Gbps downloading your games.
I'm a game developer and I work remotely. A game project size is much bigger than the built game. For example, one of the projects I work on has a size of 4Gb when built, but the project size is over 60Gb. Working remotely means that I have to download and upload a lot of data multiple times daily. Gigabit internet allows me to work remotely with almost local network speeds.
I just signed up for 1 gig. It finally became available in my area. I've been stuck with 15 Meg and I have 4 kids who all have several devices and we have several firesticks. It's been a nightmare for years. I'm so excited to get my 1 gig!!! They have to drop a fiber link at my house. Said it would be a few days. I've waited this long, but I still can't wait! It's gonna be awesome!
You saying to stream high quality video in future, gigabit will be mandatory, this is crap, 4k takes ~25Mbit, and that is about as high as the human eye can realistically perceive, on a 10 foot screen sitting on the couch. The quality is fine. Also, codecs get more efficient. 1080p takes about 7Mbit to stream. Downloading game on say 100Mbit may take an hour or 2, but who cares? Backing up computer to the cloud, for most, wouldn't involve 1 terabyte, perhaps 100MB. You don't need to backup your game installs, just open steam and a few clicks later they are all back. So if initial upload takes perhaps a day, and the incremental backups maybe 10 minutes, what is wrong with that? Webpages will NEVER require anything above like 10Mbit, size for a homepage is like 300k, or perhaps 2MB for garbage sites full of ads your CPU can't handle anyway. Sites are becoming slimmer due to the rise of mobile, so your statement is junk. Would it be nice? yes, but realistically over 100Mbit down/up has severe diminishing returns.
You are not considering that multiple people often use the same internet service. Further, you are not considering that your download speeds will have a bandwidth, such that they will often dip below their average. I promise you would not be pleased watching 4k at 25Mbps. Also, you are ignoring his claim that games will very soon require ~100gb to download, which will take way over 'an hour or two'. The technology is there and the consumer demand is there. Ultimately that's all it takes.
Who is going to watch more than 3 4K streams in the same house? Does everyone just put 60" 4K screens in every bedroom and everyone totally ignore each other and watch their own private 4K TV all day? 100GB game would take ~3 hours to download, is this a crime? It would be nice to have it take 20 minutes, but not a huge deal, it's not like you download 100GB games every day, most will not be that big. My last job our office had 40Mbps for about 50 employees, at an SEO company, no one ever complained. I am not saying there wouldn't be a benefit over 100Mbps, just that there are severe diminishing returns, and it is unlikely it would ever be remotely required in the house, more of a nicety (if costs are reasonable), or bragging rights. We have ~90 at our house of 6, and it isn't even really possible for us to use half of it.
Verizon fios is offering gigabit now in NYC. I got it right away and am pretty happy with it so far. I had 150MBPS before so it was still pretty fast, but the price point that Verizon is offering gigabit at now is too good to pass up
I would for sure get either AT&T Gigapower or Google Fiber, here in Austin, which has both, whichever one I can get first. I download a lot of videos and could really use the speed. I don't appreciate the way both companies hype up their products and then tell you they are not available yet and won't tell you when they will be available in your area.
One thing that many people miss is the speed of your own hard drive. Most are capped at 100 MB/s and when downloading on steam, games are being uncompressed/decrypted while downloading. That is not counting the multitasking you are doing in the computer. Sadly, the avg consumer HDD speed is 5200RPM with low cache. Even if you need a Gigabit speed, there will be a bottleneck.
I wouldn't say that I need it, but I'm a TH-cam creator and in the next few years, I'll upgrade to 4k uploading and streaming. It will be difficult doing that on my current 17 down & 2 up. We do t have very good speeds in Canada but what I have costs $30 per month. When Google Fiber comes to my area, I'll buy it.
Like you said, If you're downloading Blu-Ray rips, it's totally necessary. Even some of the compressed films are 45 to 60 GB's. Plus 4K Netflix shows load in the blink of an eye. Last year, I had 150 Mb/s and I thought that was fast. I don't have Fiber though. I have Comcast Business. It'sstill coaxial.The upload speeds are in the 40 to 50 range though. AT&T is pretty affordable, but the line is shared with the TV and if you're recording and watching HD TV anywhere else in the house, forget it.
@@MikeG4936 Depends how far you are away from your ISP. But with Fiberoptic it shouldnt matter. its fast enough not to have low ping in games. Most Fiber optics have between 5 till 10ms in games.
Thunderbolt 3 is out on Mac Pros guys. This is an AMAZING 40Gbps speed and not to be confused with USB Type-C. They both agreed to have the same type of plug (like USB 2.0 and USB 3.0) he plug is the same but the bandwidth different. Me as an editor 40Gbps is super nice since it supports 4K at 60p easy and plays it in real time, but I'd be very happy with a crazy bandwidth like 256Gbps or more when dealing with several streams of 4K plus layers of 4K resolution FX. Eventually, the Internet speed will be 20Gbps the speed of a Thunderbolt 2 that can support 4K at 30p. Thunderbolt 2 is an update to the original Thunderbolt specification and takes the original’s two 10 Gbps bi-directional channels and combines them into a single 20 Gbps bi-directional channel. Eventually, the internet will reach the super speed of 40Gbps but not for a decade or so.
In my area, Gigabit Internet will not come anytime in the next few years. The fastest you can get is 50 download and 4 up. I have 25 down and 2 up and it took me a whole day to download Black Ops 3 on the Xbox One.
About the 1tb cloud backup, most hard drives can't handle 125 MB/s, can they? AFAIK most don't, so it would take longer to upload 1tb depending on the speed of your hard drive. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a total expert, but I think you missed that.
We live in the middle of nowhere in Canada. We have download speed of 1.5 mbps and upload is 0.4 mbps. Only time you can do anything on our internet is when you're connected by yourself. It's so terrible. I'd be happy to get 5 mbps. But 1024 mbps is crazy to me from 1.5 mbps to 1024 would be insane.
2:19 "Keep in mind that's the average so half the people are slower than that" That's not what the average means. What you are talking about would be the median, which I'm pretty sure is considerably slower than the average because there's only a few people who have gigabit internet, which raise the average. I short, the correct thing to say would be that more than half the people are slower than that (the average).
If you want to stream blu-ray quality videos (1080p@25fps H.264) you only need a ~56mbps connection this is because: One frame of 1080p =~2,000,000 pixels =~2mb =~ 0.3MB 25 frames of 1080p =~50,000,000 pixels =~ 50mb =~ 7.5MB However, that is not compressed like blu-ray, therefore around 40-48mb is actually video and the rest is audio. However, more video compression usually means worse quality audio. Overall you would not need a 1000mpbs unless you were streaming 18 1080p@25fps at the same.
Video can be compressed so to say that you need a fast connection might be relative, I have seen really compressed video that looks like blu ray, even blu ray is compressed I believe they will be able to achieve near lossless video with the right compression scheme, one of the schemes I like is Matroska because it's a completely open source I have created some awesome videos with variable bitrate rates close to blu ray.
I would definitely need gigabit considering I have 150+ games in my steam library and it is a PAIN to download all of that data when i reinstall windows because I have to switch to Linux sometimes.
Yes. We absolutely need it. The faster the better. Our wireless security cams, computers, multiple Amazon Alexa devices, 3 wireless cable boxes, smart tvs, wireless gaming devices, video calls for work etc, all depend on a solid wifi signal.
Yesterday, I had a technician from our ISP tell me I need a 1Gb ethernet port to support their 100 mbps. I find this the elusive and mis-leading. I called customer service after they left to confirm, and they said no, it is not required. Any thoughts or help?
you need gigabit cables to connect to your nas, my dad has 100 mbit, and he's upgrading to 1 Gbit tomorrow and the cable is the only thing slowing him down :)
On Carbonite, I had to upload about 20 GB of data to the cloud, and it literally took, three freaking days. Serious I am not kidding. I have an upload speed of about 2 Mb per second. Holy freaking crap! (And live in U.S.)
You answered the question when you gave us the averages. In order to advance technology, we have to adopt new standards. So yes, we NEED gigabit. Considering the size of files these days, this is coming from an IT admin. We will need it eventually, so I say get it over with.
Great comments and excellent video! Also I love the audio clarity and volume levels, lol. Hard to fathom this video is over a year old. This is all still perfectly keeping with the times and Gigablast from COX is still creeping (the irony) it's way into the marketplace. Cheers.
I have 1 gigabit, down and up, and am paying essentially nothing for it. I can also make good use of it, which brings me to my next problem: it becomes a factor when you want to move. I might find the perfect apartment but hesitate due to having to downgrade my broadband.
Sorry,but in Greece(Europe),we have now VDSL-Up to 50 mbps for households and 100 mbps for buisinesses+organizations.And the best thing about it is that no matter how many of you at your house downloading or using torrents,the speed of each won't drop!
I don't see why we can't make games "modular". Some games have high resolutions texture packs and such. Some people do not have the horse power to play on high and ultra anyway so those textures and other assets are taking up space or vice versa. A simple pop up on Steam with graphical settings settings like low/med/high/ultra/all would make data caps less as an issue and save hard drive space of the end user.
I have 100 mbps, but the problem is that most servers don't even deliver enough data speed to really use my 100mbps... it feels really dumb when you need about an hour for downloading a 3GB file with an 100mbps connection :/
where I live in Canada I can get 1 gigabit download and 100 Mbps upload with unlimited use but it costs $150 per month. I have a 60 Mbps package which allows me to stream 4K netflix videos with no buffering so for now this does the job for me. I live alone but for a big family using a lot of devices, I can see where this package would be good.
For today's requirements, I'm quite happy with even a 150 mbps connection. But you're right, I can definitely see how it will be useful in a couple of years to have a gigabit connection. Problem is that would also require that everyone be using SSD's in their computers for them to actually experience the speed.
Gigabit internet may not be as needed to some but if you have a lot of devices gigabit should be offered. And besides fiber needs to be everywhere and the demand for gigabit is high
my dad got it for our house, but i use my laptop upstairs so i dont get even close to a gigabit on speedtest.net when we extend the router it will probs be close to gigabit like 860mbps
It depends what you use it for. If it’s for surfing and email and TH-cam watching then a gigabit connection will not be noticed more than a 20 megabit one. But for downloading files it will be very noticeable. The question is whether or not you benefit from files downloading at lightning speeds. I start downloads of large files before I go to bed. Some people could benefit financially from much faster downloading. Not me. I would get a gigabit connection if it was cheap for the thrill of watching the percentage of download of a huge file flying along.
I would for one reason. To support the movement the faster people buy 4k panels and Gigabit internet the faster netflix and youtube will catch up. Also it would be awesome to see what this could due with sharing internet connections in apartment buildings.
I've got 5.75Mbps down and 0.66 up, it's okay for normal internet browsing, but to upload videos and livestream, it's impossible. I don't necessarily need a gigabit internet speed, just enough to stream in decent quality is okay to me.
It's about 16.00 megabits per second download and 700k to 1 megabits per second upload in the uk on typical dsl which is what most of the uk runs unless you are lucky to have fiber optic
yes I would, I'm a gamer(I don't stream or make content) but I do usually download my games off the psn store& I would like to be able to download something within a matter of minutes instead of having to look for something to do that doesn't involve the internet use there for it doesn't download slower.
I have DSL at 5 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. TH-cam and Netflix work without too much of a problem. But I've recently started downloading HD movies and it takes me about 1 day to download one due to an unstable connection. As much as I want giga internet, it may be more expensive than what I'm willing to pay. I'll be happy with 10-15 Mbps download for now.
I would use a gigabit internet connection for storing all my files into a cloud storage. That's because I don't want to use the old hard disk drive anymore. I would get maybe a 64GB Solid State Drive which would make my computer boot faster and then open my internet browser immediately and access my files online. That's a win win. Cheers!
Npr reported on a study that 100m internet running 7 hd streams only ate up 70 percent of the bandwidth. The limit once you get to a gig is not your internet it's the infrastructure of the network you're connecting to. I compared my 160m connection to my buddies gig connection downloading the Same game from steam and achieved roughly the same speed. He gets his for free since he works for the cable company so he wasn't upset. But honestly according to the study 70m connection is fine for basically anything because once you pass the threshold of the infrastructure you're connecting to (in this case steam) you literally can't use the extra speed you have because steam has to supply connection for millions of people. If it was just you absolutely you'd take full advantage but it's not.
Gosh, I used to have 1mb/s download and 0.5mb/s upload because that was literally the only thing available to me. Not to mention how the internet was out literally about 50% of the time. Living in the middle of nowhere sure is cool, huh?? But at least AT&T finally made their way out here, so now I can get 12mb/s download and 1mb/s upload. It was such a significant upgrade for me and honestly I'm just really glad I don't have to deal with the utter junk I used to have. Sure, I might have to wait a few minutes to download files, or a few hours to download big games. That's fine. That's so much better than waiting days to download Skyrim, or having to wait hours for the internet to come back on so I can look at my twitter feed. I could used to watch videos at 360p if it was a good day, and assuming the internet didn't go out. Most of the time, that was perfectly fine to be honest. But I'm so, so glad I'm able to watch things at 1080p 60fps now; it's really nice. Yeah, 1 mb/s upload is bad. But at least I can upload files period, unlike how it used to be most of the time. Sure, it might take several hours to upload a 30 minute video. That's much better than looking at the ETA and seeing 2000 minutes remaining. No, I can't livestream at a reasonable quality. But at least I can upload videos instead. I always have to laugh at people who complain about having terrible internet when they have 10mb/s or something like that. They have no idea. Anyways, in regards to gigabit internet, I would definitely get it if it were available to me. I mean, that's assuming that I was living on my own, 'cause my family would probably not want to switch to it. And assuming that the price isn't absurdly high. Definitely if it were under $100, and I'd still heavily consider getting it even if it were more than that.
even with a gigabit connection and you need to download giant files. Its not gonna do it much faster than an average connection because the servers your downloading from isn’t gonna be gigabit. Unless your torrenting this giant file. then that’s how you do it. And then your probably gonna require a lot of seeding to make up for all the seeds that seeded to you.
Well Gigabit (or even 10 Gbps) is available in my area, but several thousand dollars per month, only directed at enterprise customers. I would definitely get it if Google Fiber came to my city though.
I have Sonic for internet at my house, but I've heard of other companies that offer fiber and comparable giga bit speed. I was wondering what your opinion is on the comparison between what I have versus companies like xfinity, att, and wave.
Do I need it? no. Do I want it? Yes.

In what ways?
jonnyy40 4k pron.
100 mb/s would honestly be enough for more than most people
im avg 74-117mb
Absolutely correct! Once you go higher you're limited by what you're connecting to like Netflix. They regulate the connection you get so they can offer it to more people. Unfortunately you can't tell Netflix that you have gig speed and want a gig connection.
I would buy it for:
> uploading to YT
> downloading games
> streaming video at 4k
> also just because it's super awesome!
I now pay $20 for 120/20. I'd pay 4x that for gigabit.
Yup - that's too much although if you're making money off TH-cam for example it might be worth it

It's 2017 now, need to upgrade network speeds
850 down 950 up. When you have such a fast connection you forget how much those extra 150 and 50 mbps actually are
Just got Spectrum Gigabit. Upgrading from 10 Mbps (Mom's house) to 940 Mbps (new apartment). I just graduated. This is one of my biggest priorities 😂
MEUProductions same
What’s the upload speed ?
Shadow probably around 40 cable is only good for download
Manny yeah I had spectrum 280 mbps and 40 upload good old days
we have fios gigabit, and I can’t imagine ever going back to regular speed. Before we had the 90 down and up package.
You are limited by the upload speed of the host that you are downloading from. So to say "this would take this long with 1gbps" isn't realistic.
Traybair Most enterprise services will be able to max out your connection. They have to have the bandwidth to handle thousands and thousands of customers.
According to Netflix, you only need about a 25 mbps connection to stream 4K video.
Now in canada, rogers offers 150mbps for $60 and gigabit for $75. Only $15 difference. So why to desire? just acquire. Regardless you need it or not.
and im sitting here with 0.05 MB/s download looking at all these speeds.
1gbs means for me: My internet is faster then my Harddrive lol
actually talked to the mayor about this and they mostly leave it up to the service providers to decide if a town or city needs upgraded services which could be a long wait considering they will wait as long as possible before having to spend money to upgrade their products
So to download GTA V at the average speed would take 4 hours?? HAH I laugh at that. With my 1.2 mbps speeds it would take me 5 days and 3 hours. Also to upload 1TB of data it would take me 4.6 Months with my 0.7 mbps upload speed. Do I win yet?

You are the Oracle.
To be honest, you don't really need it. Most of the time, the website's servers cap the download speed.
My dad's getting 'fibre' but in the UK it isn't true fibre because it runs off fibre to a street box and then old copper cables that were installed in the 80s. Shame the only true fibre isn't in my area.
I don't think most people need it now at all. But if you run into it at a reasonable price, go ahead.
I live on a university dorm so I have gigabit. Everytime I go to friends or home to mum's I'm always in pain over how slow it is. When I first moved in I didn't think I could use it, but you really can. Files are getting bigger and bigger and if you want to host something for a lot of players then you need that upload. It's also nice if you are more than one in your household. Good luck having multiple Neflix streams with youtube, game updates, backups etc. on a "normal" connection.
I have gigabit and I can't go back. I love that huge games on steam etc only take less then 10 min, lossless audio blu rays, no prob. Also I transfer a Lot of files on my server and like you mentioned in video it's just more convenient using as back up when it's that quick. But that's what I love about gigabit, bandwidth. If you have huge family and everyone is on at the same time all the services just work like they should no one suffers. Even if people are downloading like I said it's only like less then 10 mins, you are not hogging up the internet for long. Plus you have services that have 50-200 mbps and the upload is like 4-20 mbps (ie 10% of your down speed) it's absolutely abysmal especially in this everything in the cloud and sharing age, or using servers to stream or access data. With gigabit you get same up as down. My area is gonna go to 12 gigabit in next few years so it will be true 1 GB/s or in this case 1.5 GB/s. right now it's about 117 MB/s. Plus especially once 4k gets bigger you definitely need gigabit. Also with fiber I think you can get within 30% off the speed of light, so that means you'll have amazing ping, must have for fighting game fan like myself where input lag can really hinder the enjoyment of those games.
If you have it available pls support it, make these companies know you want it. There are lots of companies that use fiber to the node, that why you can even get like 100-300 mbps plans in some areas, make them invest in fiber to home and you can have gigabit. A lot of no name companies use these fiber nodes and do the extra work that's why you have these weird no name companies popping up that can offer gigabit while main providers don't. All comes down to cost vs demand. It's totally frustrating my neighbors have cheap 50mbps plans for 30 bucks and gigabit is only about 100. But they'll pay hundreds for TV. That there is sad truth that most people in america are dependent on classic cable services. Not realizing you can get great services online. I watch everything online now, but even I need to subscribe to low tier plans just to be able to use their online apps, it's so backwards here.
My next computer build and hardware will have to have 12 gigabit ports to take advantage of this. So already planning ahead.
I agree, Classic cable and/or not having unlimited data is garbage, data needs to be unlimited and if network speeds didn't get faster then there would be no Improvement/Advancement in tech, internet wise.
I miss the times when actually family spend their time together. Not on TV, not on the Internet, each and everyone at their own screen. I agree that more speed is good for a family. However we should never forget the real games we can enjoy together as a family - playing things outside without Android.
xechs88 the worlds longest comment
Where I live the internet provider says that 'They can't connect it to where I live since it needs to go underground to connect' But it connects right to the house
I've got 150Mbps and I'm happy with it. I pay 18.90€ monthly. It's all right.
pato 11 Damn I've got around 500kbps for three times the price!!!
Yeah... SLOVAKIA FTW :D
pato 11 ok that's a good price i'm on 1.5mbps for $40 aud or 28.40 euros so I gotta say wow
+pato 11 is a Slovakia a good place? is it good Internet there? no military? good food? how are the laws there?
+pato 11 I get my Internet for free since I work for an ISP ;-)
Some things that was failed to comment on in the video is that you are assuming people are just using 1 computer to access the internet through 1 access point. If people are using a computer, laptop, Cell phone (for data while at home to save on data on their plans), tablets, and lets not forgets those game systems that connect to the internet. Now, I have 2 computers, 2 laptops, kindle, 4 cell phones (or more), and a gaming system all connecting to the internet, sometimes all at once sometimes only a few and really only 1 system stays on when people are asleep because I use it for keeping a game on idle while it boost an item while I go afk. Now having said that, if you have just 3 computers using the internet, 1 somebody is using for watching shows, 1 somebody playing game, and 1 for normal browsing, you will see a lag in the gaming system and the video system because both of those are going to take up band width. The normal browsing won't be effected very much and might not even be noticeable. So, if you are in a house where you have several users on different devices trying to do some high bandwidth stuff, there is going to be lag or slower connection if you don't have a connection to cover it. Also, one should realize that your ping on your PC increases dramatically if you connect a Gaming system like the xBox or Playstation to your network. Something to be aware of and know that higher pings are worse for your internet connection. If you have 1 computer a gig might be way overkill if you are not doing anything special with it. But throw in several devices doing lots of high end internet stuff and ya you need higher connections.
i use 4Mbps internet connection.. which is awful
You forgot a primary use - Work From Home. Unlike web use, WFH work requires a much more symmetrical service because of all of the file upload that occurs. I upgraded my 50 MB to 100MB for $5 not because of the download speed, but because the upload doubled from 5Mbit to 10 MBit. The impact on my WFH was considerable. Gigabit is a no brainer because its symmetrical and will likely provide me better performance than I have a work. They just installed my fiber yesterday. I will be on the phone with Cox today because the online hasn't recorded my upgrade yet. I'm pumped up to see what this will do.
50 Mbps is what I have. I like it and its pretty good. What I hate the upload speed. I only get 6 Mbps up.
Lol yours is literally almost 10x faster than mine.
It seems like with every service upload sucks. Just got one of this 802.11ac routers and I get around 70 down wireless and 90 down wired. However my upload is STILL a shitty 12 Mbps. Whatever I'm not a content creator so I don't really care.
Andrew Mackoul dude i barely get 20 kilobytes per second upload.. i would cry if i got 1Mbps up..
Andrew Mackoul My upload is better than download during peak period. www.speedtest.net/result/4515478700.png It is 80Mbps vs 50Mbps. At night, it will reach up to 100Mbps
www.speedtest.net/result/4540796349.png ... my upload speeds are terrible.. ALWAYS
My area started rolling out gigablast from Cox a few weeks ago and they offered it for $5 less than the current price, we do have their fastest cable internet which I think is 150mb, but it is never that fast. The only problem with gigablast is that your router and your wifi is your bottleneck and unless you plug directly you won't take advantage of all their potential. overall its a huge improvement.
Thats the average, so 50% are slower than that.
UHH no. That would be the median. The average is different
Even 3 years later the answer for most people is no. A lot of people seem to think they do though. Only in niche scenarios does that speed come in handy and in many of those the other end won't be able to push or receive at that rate anyhow. You can have all the speed you want but on consoles or steam you won't get anywhere close to 1Gbps downloading your games.
I would use Gigabit internet for streaming ;)
KalleBauss imagine the twitch quality of 144hz streaming at 4K
That would be amazing :D
That alone is completely useless people barely have access to 1080p
Enrique06 In the US nearly every device we have outputs in 1080p for video streaming.
I'm a game developer and I work remotely. A game project size is much bigger than the built game. For example, one of the projects I work on has a size of 4Gb when built, but the project size is over 60Gb. Working remotely means that I have to download and upload a lot of data multiple times daily. Gigabit internet allows me to work remotely with almost local network speeds.
My internet (at the moment ) is 6megabits/sec
I just signed up for 1 gig. It finally became available in my area. I've been stuck with 15 Meg and I have 4 kids who all have several devices and we have several firesticks. It's been a nightmare for years. I'm so excited to get my 1 gig!!! They have to drop a fiber link at my house. Said it would be a few days. I've waited this long, but I still can't wait! It's gonna be awesome!
You saying to stream high quality video in future, gigabit will be mandatory, this is crap, 4k takes ~25Mbit, and that is about as high as the human eye can realistically perceive, on a 10 foot screen sitting on the couch. The quality is fine. Also, codecs get more efficient. 1080p takes about 7Mbit to stream. Downloading game on say 100Mbit may take an hour or 2, but who cares? Backing up computer to the cloud, for most, wouldn't involve 1 terabyte, perhaps 100MB. You don't need to backup your game installs, just open steam and a few clicks later they are all back. So if initial upload takes perhaps a day, and the incremental backups maybe 10 minutes, what is wrong with that? Webpages will NEVER require anything above like 10Mbit, size for a homepage is like 300k, or perhaps 2MB for garbage sites full of ads your CPU can't handle anyway. Sites are becoming slimmer due to the rise of mobile, so your statement is junk. Would it be nice? yes, but realistically over 100Mbit down/up has severe diminishing returns.
You are not considering that multiple people often use the same internet service. Further, you are not considering that your download speeds will have a bandwidth, such that they will often dip below their average. I promise you would not be pleased watching 4k at 25Mbps. Also, you are ignoring his claim that games will very soon require ~100gb to download, which will take way over 'an hour or two'. The technology is there and the consumer demand is there. Ultimately that's all it takes.
Who is going to watch more than 3 4K streams in the same house? Does everyone just put 60" 4K screens in every bedroom and everyone totally ignore each other and watch their own private 4K TV all day? 100GB game would take ~3 hours to download, is this a crime? It would be nice to have it take 20 minutes, but not a huge deal, it's not like you download 100GB games every day, most will not be that big. My last job our office had 40Mbps for about 50 employees, at an SEO company, no one ever complained. I am not saying there wouldn't be a benefit over 100Mbps, just that there are severe diminishing returns, and it is unlikely it would ever be remotely required in the house, more of a nicety (if costs are reasonable), or bragging rights. We have ~90 at our house of 6, and it isn't even really possible for us to use half of it.
Verizon fios is offering gigabit now in NYC. I got it right away and am pretty happy with it so far. I had 150MBPS before so it was still pretty fast, but the price point that Verizon is offering gigabit at now is too good to pass up
my maximum speed is 150 kb/s
to download agame like tf2 it takes me 16 hours
really i need 1mb/s thats gonna be enough for me
***** NO iam in egypt
I know your pain bro I used to live out in the country and I had 170 kbs I had to run my PC all night to download some games sometimes even longer.
+Dylan Barkley same here bro. Except I leave it on for uploading TH-cam videos!!!
Where the fuck do you live. We got gigabit internet in like 2013 lol
I advice u to download offline game , multiplayer isn't your thing with that speed
I would for sure get either AT&T Gigapower or Google Fiber, here in Austin, which has both, whichever one I can get first. I download a lot of videos and could really use the speed. I don't appreciate the way both companies hype up their products and then tell you they are not available yet and won't tell you when they will be available in your area.
I just ordered it.
One thing that many people miss is the speed of your own hard drive. Most are capped at 100 MB/s and when downloading on steam, games are being uncompressed/decrypted while downloading. That is not counting the multitasking you are doing in the computer. Sadly, the avg consumer HDD speed is 5200RPM with low cache. Even if you need a Gigabit speed, there will be a bottleneck.
If I told you that I get 1Gbps speed at just $13.41 would you believe it??
No
I wouldn't say that I need it, but I'm a TH-cam creator and in the next few years, I'll upgrade to 4k uploading and streaming. It will be difficult doing that on my current 17 down & 2 up. We do t have very good speeds in Canada but what I have costs $30 per month. When Google Fiber comes to my area, I'll buy it.
I want 1pbps
(1 peta bype ter second) (1 petabyte=1.000terrabytes=1.000.000GigaBytes
+RedViking I want yottabyte (=1 septillion bytes)
RedViking I want 1 bit per second
It will come eventually.
Could download rd2 in a second
RedViking hell yeah it would take you 0,01 sec to download any games
Like you said, If you're downloading Blu-Ray rips, it's totally necessary. Even some of the compressed films are 45 to 60 GB's. Plus 4K Netflix shows load in the blink of an eye. Last year, I had 150 Mb/s and I thought that was fast. I don't have Fiber though. I have Comcast Business. It'sstill coaxial.The upload speeds are in the 40 to 50 range though. AT&T is pretty affordable, but the line is shared with the TV and if you're recording and watching HD TV anywhere else in the house, forget it.
I'm gonna get 1gb internet anyway just so I can show off how low my ping is XD
Speed doesn't affect latency (ping). A 5Mbps connection will have the same ping as a 1000Mbps connection using the same ISP.
@@MikeG4936 Depends how far you are away from your ISP. But with Fiberoptic it shouldnt matter. its fast enough not to have low ping in games. Most Fiber optics have between 5 till 10ms in games.
Thunderbolt 3 is out on Mac Pros guys. This is an AMAZING 40Gbps speed and not to be confused with USB Type-C. They both agreed to have the same type of plug (like USB 2.0 and USB 3.0) he plug is the same but the bandwidth different. Me as an editor 40Gbps is super nice since it supports 4K at 60p easy and plays it in real time, but I'd be very happy with a crazy bandwidth like 256Gbps or more when dealing with several streams of 4K plus layers of 4K resolution FX. Eventually, the Internet speed will be 20Gbps the speed of a Thunderbolt 2 that can support 4K at 30p. Thunderbolt 2 is an update to the original Thunderbolt specification and takes the original’s two 10 Gbps bi-directional channels and combines them into a single 20 Gbps bi-directional channel. Eventually, the internet will reach the super speed of 40Gbps but not for a decade or so.
Gta 5 took me about a day to download...
KalleBauss LOLOL
Would take my friend days haha
Hehe
the official sandidge02 took me 12 hours with 1.2mb/s max :p
Valle641 mine took 3 days and 36 minutes....
( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)
In my area, Gigabit Internet will not come anytime in the next few years. The fastest you can get is 50 download and 4 up. I have 25 down and 2 up and it took me a whole day to download Black Ops 3 on the Xbox One.
I feel your pain mate. I am luckily on that 100mb connection
I have Gigabit :D

Z3R0 could download gta in 3 mins lol
After 4 years still my area doesn’t even have 2 mbps internet speed
It took me 31 minutes to download GTAV (65GB)
Took me 14
yodabolt took me 24 hours on 10mb/s fibre.
It took me 5 months ...
Took me 2 hours on 15mbps for some reason
About the 1tb cloud backup, most hard drives can't handle 125 MB/s, can they? AFAIK most don't, so it would take longer to upload 1tb depending on the speed of your hard drive. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a total expert, but I think you missed that.
Yes I would use it to watch porn.
We live in the middle of nowhere in Canada. We have download speed of 1.5 mbps and upload is 0.4 mbps. Only time you can do anything on our internet is when you're connected by yourself. It's so terrible. I'd be happy to get 5 mbps. But 1024 mbps is crazy to me from 1.5 mbps to 1024 would be insane.
2:19 "Keep in mind that's the average so half the people are slower than that"
That's not what the average means. What you are talking about would be the median, which I'm pretty sure is considerably slower than the average because there's only a few people who have gigabit internet, which raise the average.
I short, the correct thing to say would be that more than half the people are slower than that (the average).
If you want to stream blu-ray quality videos (1080p@25fps H.264) you only need a ~56mbps connection this is because:
One frame of 1080p =~2,000,000 pixels =~2mb =~ 0.3MB
25 frames of 1080p =~50,000,000 pixels =~ 50mb =~ 7.5MB
However, that is not compressed like blu-ray, therefore around 40-48mb is actually video and the rest is audio. However, more video compression usually means worse quality audio. Overall you would not need a 1000mpbs unless you were streaming 18 1080p@25fps at the same.
Video can be compressed so to say that you need a fast connection might be relative, I have seen really compressed video that looks like blu ray, even blu ray is compressed I believe they will be able to achieve near lossless video with the right compression scheme, one of the schemes I like is Matroska because it's a completely open source I have created some awesome videos with variable bitrate rates close to blu ray.
I would definitely need gigabit considering I have 150+ games in my steam library and it is a PAIN to download all of that data when i reinstall windows because I have to switch to Linux sometimes.
If you have a slow internet connection and a large file(s) to download/upload use a raspberry pi with a hdd to save on the powerbill.
Yes. We absolutely need it. The faster the better. Our wireless security cams, computers, multiple Amazon Alexa devices, 3 wireless cable boxes, smart tvs, wireless gaming devices, video calls for work etc, all depend on a solid wifi signal.
Yesterday, I had a technician from our ISP tell me I need a 1Gb ethernet port to support their 100 mbps. I find this the elusive and mis-leading. I called customer service after they left to confirm, and they said no, it is not required. Any thoughts or help?
you need gigabit cables to connect to your nas, my dad has 100 mbit, and he's upgrading to 1 Gbit tomorrow and the cable is the only thing slowing him down :)
On Carbonite, I had to upload about 20 GB of data to the cloud, and it literally took, three freaking days. Serious I am not kidding. I have an upload speed of about 2 Mb per second. Holy freaking crap! (And live in U.S.)
Australia is mental.
I literally have 10/1 connection. That's an 8 hour upload for a 5-8 minute video at 720p.
You answered the question when you gave us the averages. In order to advance technology, we have to adopt new standards. So yes, we NEED gigabit. Considering the size of files these days, this is coming from an IT admin. We will need it eventually, so I say get it over with.
Great comments and excellent video! Also I love the audio clarity and volume levels, lol. Hard to fathom this video is over a year old. This is all still perfectly keeping with the times and Gigablast from COX is still creeping (the irony) it's way into the marketplace. Cheers.
I have 1 gigabit, down and up, and am paying essentially nothing for it. I can also make good use of it, which brings me to my next problem: it becomes a factor when you want to move. I might find the perfect apartment but hesitate due to having to downgrade my broadband.
Let's hope that someone comes along with a lossless data compression algorithm to tackle the issue of "size creep" as time continues...
Sorry,but in Greece(Europe),we have now VDSL-Up to 50 mbps for households and 100 mbps for buisinesses+organizations.And the best thing about it is that no matter how many of you at your house downloading or using torrents,the speed of each won't drop!
I don't see why we can't make games "modular". Some games have high resolutions texture packs and such. Some people do not have the horse power to play on high and ultra anyway so those textures and other assets are taking up space or vice versa.
A simple pop up on Steam with graphical settings settings like low/med/high/ultra/all would make data caps less as an issue and save hard drive space of the end user.
I have 100 mbps, but the problem is that most servers don't even deliver enough data speed to really use my 100mbps... it feels really dumb when you need about an hour for downloading a 3GB file with an 100mbps connection :/
where I live in Canada I can get 1 gigabit download and 100 Mbps upload with unlimited use but it costs $150 per month. I have a 60 Mbps package which allows me to stream 4K netflix videos with no buffering so for now this does the job for me. I live alone but for a big family using a lot of devices, I can see where this package would be good.
For today's requirements, I'm quite happy with even a 150 mbps connection. But you're right, I can definitely see how it will be useful in a couple of years to have a gigabit connection. Problem is that would also require that everyone be using SSD's in their computers for them to actually experience the speed.
Just upgraded to 150 down/12 up and it's amazing. Uploading to Onedrive takes seconds not hours now.
Gigabit internet may not be as needed to some but if you have a lot of devices gigabit should be offered. And besides fiber needs to be everywhere and the demand for gigabit is high
my dad got it for our house, but i use my laptop upstairs so i dont get even close to a gigabit on speedtest.net
when we extend the router it will probs be close to gigabit like 860mbps
It depends what you use it for. If it’s for surfing and email and TH-cam watching then a gigabit connection will not be noticed more than a 20 megabit one. But for downloading files it will be very noticeable. The question is whether or not you benefit from files downloading at lightning speeds. I start downloads of large files before I go to bed. Some people could benefit financially from much faster downloading. Not me. I would get a gigabit connection if it was cheap for the thrill of watching the percentage of download of a huge file flying along.
I would for one reason. To support the movement the faster people buy 4k panels and Gigabit internet the faster netflix and youtube will catch up. Also it would be awesome to see what this could due with sharing internet connections in apartment buildings.
I've got 5.75Mbps down and 0.66 up, it's okay for normal internet browsing, but to upload videos and livestream, it's impossible. I don't necessarily need a gigabit internet speed, just enough to stream in decent quality is okay to me.
It's about 16.00 megabits per second download and 700k to 1 megabits per second upload in the uk on typical dsl which is what most of the uk runs unless you are lucky to have fiber optic
yes I would, I'm a gamer(I don't stream or make content) but I do usually download my games off the psn store& I would like to be able to download something within a matter of minutes instead of having to look for something to do that doesn't involve the internet use there for it doesn't download slower.
I have DSL at 5 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. TH-cam and Netflix work without too much of a problem. But I've recently started downloading HD movies and it takes me about 1 day to download one due to an unstable connection. As much as I want giga internet, it may be more expensive than what I'm willing to pay. I'll be happy with 10-15 Mbps download for now.
Damn.. I've been subscribed to ThioJoe for months.. didn't even know he had a legit tech channel. Subbed!
I would use a gigabit internet connection for storing all my files into a cloud storage. That's because I don't want to use the old hard disk drive anymore. I would get maybe a 64GB Solid State Drive which would make my computer boot faster and then open my internet browser immediately and access my files online. That's a win win. Cheers!
Npr reported on a study that 100m internet running 7 hd streams only ate up 70 percent of the bandwidth. The limit once you get to a gig is not your internet it's the infrastructure of the network you're connecting to. I compared my 160m connection to my buddies gig connection downloading the Same game from steam and achieved roughly the same speed. He gets his for free since he works for the cable company so he wasn't upset. But honestly according to the study 70m connection is fine for basically anything because once you pass the threshold of the infrastructure you're connecting to (in this case steam) you literally can't use the extra speed you have because steam has to supply connection for millions of people. If it was just you absolutely you'd take full advantage but it's not.
The real question is a simple: "whether you need the throughput due to many bandwidth-consuming devices" and a simple cost-benefit analysis.
Gosh, I used to have 1mb/s download and 0.5mb/s upload because that was literally the only thing available to me. Not to mention how the internet was out literally about 50% of the time. Living in the middle of nowhere sure is cool, huh??
But at least AT&T finally made their way out here, so now I can get 12mb/s download and 1mb/s upload. It was such a significant upgrade for me and honestly I'm just really glad I don't have to deal with the utter junk I used to have. Sure, I might have to wait a few minutes to download files, or a few hours to download big games. That's fine. That's so much better than waiting days to download Skyrim, or having to wait hours for the internet to come back on so I can look at my twitter feed. I could used to watch videos at 360p if it was a good day, and assuming the internet didn't go out. Most of the time, that was perfectly fine to be honest. But I'm so, so glad I'm able to watch things at 1080p 60fps now; it's really nice. Yeah, 1 mb/s upload is bad. But at least I can upload files period, unlike how it used to be most of the time. Sure, it might take several hours to upload a 30 minute video. That's much better than looking at the ETA and seeing 2000 minutes remaining. No, I can't livestream at a reasonable quality. But at least I can upload videos instead.
I always have to laugh at people who complain about having terrible internet when they have 10mb/s or something like that. They have no idea.
Anyways, in regards to gigabit internet, I would definitely get it if it were available to me. I mean, that's assuming that I was living on my own, 'cause my family would probably not want to switch to it. And assuming that the price isn't absurdly high. Definitely if it were under $100, and I'd still heavily consider getting it even if it were more than that.
even with a gigabit connection and you need to download giant files. Its not gonna do it much faster than an average connection because the servers your downloading from isn’t gonna be gigabit. Unless your torrenting this giant file. then that’s how you do it. And then your probably gonna require a lot of seeding to make up for all the seeds that seeded to you.
Have you thought about streaming gta or cs:go while you play with the viewers?
Well Gigabit (or even 10 Gbps) is available in my area, but several thousand dollars per month, only directed at enterprise customers. I would definitely get it if Google Fiber came to my city though.
Jeremy's Transit & Tech Yea most places you could get gigabit business connections, but they're outrageously expensive.
I have Sonic for internet at my house, but I've heard of other companies that offer fiber and comparable giga bit speed. I was wondering what your opinion is on the comparison between what I have versus companies like xfinity, att, and wave.
Can you make a video about Refresh Rate by show us the main difference between 30Hz, 60Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz?
