what if my System Bandwidth is Higher than my ISP's?

Question

if i get an OC-768(40Gbps) on an XP OS i'd have better bandwidth than and ISP backbone rite now, so like what do i do, will it even work

Answer 1

First, explain who in their right mind gets an OC-768 right now - almost no one has them so you would never realize the speed. And if you had one - or had anywhere near the money to get one, you wouldn't be asking this question here because you could easily hire a team of engineers to answer this question.

Put simply, you run at the speed of the slowest connection. If your XP LAN speed maximum is 100Mb, then you could have a 40 Gb link, but you could NEVER use more than 1/400 of it at once to one computer - if you had an appropriate router, you could put 400 computers on the connection and each could be downloading from a different site at full speed.

Answer 2

The bandwidth capabilities of your system will have no real impact on what you get when access internet via your ISP. This is why wireless routers which are a lot lower are a good idea for sharing internet connections, since the bandwidth you get with an ISP is normally less than 1 MB, and wireless B goes 11 MB max.

Answer 3

u will have internet speeds of ur ISP, it will work
