what is much faster, 100mbp/s or 512kbp/s?

Question

we have our dsl provider(just connected to them) at 75sar(living in ksa) offering 100mbp/s. BUt it is slow, and I'm getting tired of it...
and in the philippines, i think a telecommunication company is also offering 100mbp/s but FAST, unlike here in ksa, it is SLOW!!! it also comes fast, but ones in a blue moon!
and there comes a dsl provider offering 512kbp/s at 100sar...
which is faster, 100mpb/s or 512kbp/s?

how do i determine that 100mpb/s is slow?
* i play runescape, and lagging is associated in the game!!!
* browsing the net, its slow!

Answer 1

If you are saying that 100Mbps is slow, basically you are using the wrong harware that does not support the full capability. There are many fiber site that don't have 100 Mbps connection, i doubt that you are refering to that type of connection. You'll be paying thousands for that.

You might be refering to 10Mbps which is what most providers (cable) are providing now a days by default. Still that its many times faster than 512Kbps. The upload speed of most cable ISPs now a day provide faster connection than 512Kbps.

When surfing the web, don't always base your speed problems on the providers or the type of connection, it also depends on the server you are connecting to, latency and many different factors that may interfere with the connection. You might even be affected by your pc performance and hardware/software problems.

Answer 2

Learn about latency. Speed means nothing if you have huge latency, it'll still "feel" slow. Also MTU and packet size can make a difference. There's a lot out on the internet about optimizing Internet connections.
