cheap, giga one expensive (and the io may be the culprit) I don't know. My desktop board, which has some years, came with 2 gigabit interfaces. I have not ever seen fibre on computers, though.
It is very common on corporate servers.
And anyway, my 100 mbps connection today only makes 70. And what I found is that many sites are slow! They don't feed me as many bytes as I can take. Even some updates in YaST go slow (typically packman).
Rate limiting is normal, any/all major sites and services are going to rate-limit you. You buy more bandwidth for more aggregate throughput of concurrent transactions, you do not buy more bandwidth for 'faster downloads' - that won't work. -- Adam Tauno Williams mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
