Damn that’s like 46 times more than I could even store on my hard drive in one second that’s insane
Kinexity t1_is1n5xy wrote
I am going to make an educated guess it's actually only 5,75 times more.
gangstasadvocate t1_is1pxv6 wrote
I mean I only have a terabyte solid-state drive so
Kinexity t1_is1q8nw wrote
Which means this link can send about 5,75 times more data in a second than your drive's capacity.
brunogadaleta t1_is276jd wrote
Because Storage in expressed in bytes (8bits units). Transfer in bits per second. Right ?
Kinexity t1_is287ud wrote
Yes.
gangstasadvocate t1_is1qw7j wrote
Cool was just reaffirming your educated guess. And it’s still mind-bogglingly fast for me at least

Bits vs bytes

My ISP has 1.25 TB monthly limit. So I would blow through it in like 200ms...
EDIT: Fixed GB to TB

Would Starlink be a viable option for you? The tech always interested me but I'm fortunate enough that it'd be a downgrade from my current ISP.
BearStorms t1_is4c833 wrote
I made a typo, my ISP has 1.25 TB monthly limit, which sucks but it is good enough most of the time. I just reached it for the first time filling my new PS5 with games. Starlink seems like more expensive and worse option. However, I was always dreaming of maybe living in a big RV for some time (probably not happening now with family) or buying a house in the country somewhere in the middle of nowhere and Starlink would be a great option.

That's crazy small. Can you just not download games or watch videos at all?
Devanismyname t1_is2rfou wrote
Like you'd barely be able to surf the internet with that
overlordpotatoe t1_is2uux7 wrote
Yeah. I'm pretty sure my basic, cheapest you can buy phone plan gives me way more than that. And I'd been at risk of going over it at times just using Tumblr for a few hours a week back in the day.

Oh sorry, I meant 1.25 TB

OH. That makes far more sense.

I imagine you'd have to do some pretty major upgrades to the physical Infrastructure and for something that would have no real benefit to most people over much slower speeds.

What is this actually being used for? On this article and on the website it just vaguely says things like climate science and clean energy but what does that actually mean?

In this sub reddit there are biased moderators Who delete post according to their emotions: if you do not accept the fact that with the likely approval of the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 animal testing Is not going to be mandotory( still not banned) for toxicity and efficacy testing in favour of alternative methods, that's your problem! The truth can be pretty bitter sometimes
