Totally agree. >When your Internet has to go 22,300 miles, at best, straight up for its first >hop even the speed of light begins to feel slow.
Speed of light = 186k miles per second. Light can travel that 22,300 miles 8.5 times in one second. That's back and forth 4 times in the time you blink. >The median advertised download speed is 7Mbps. The reality is just over 4Mbps. Because Farmville needs that last 3Mbps. You can watch Netflix at full definition at those speeds. A hotel asked what their bandwidth was and we figured it to be just about 4Mbps - a hotel with dozens or hundreds of people.
