Hi
My cable company has a special offer on internet at "100M max. 100 Mbps/10 Mbps".
I am quite tempted (the price is the same as I am paying for their 10Mbps/1Mbps connection).
Would my airport extreme be able to keep up (ie. is it worth it?)
Thanks![]()

man i am so jealous i live in australia now and the best we could get is 20megabit but you are paying huge price and never will get 20 megabit.
The best i got for what i paid for is only 2 megabit. -
Airport Extreme is 802.11n and can technically reach up to 300 Mbps as its top speed.
Yeah, internet in Australia is ****ed expensive. Apparently, many countries don't have download limits... :sad: -

FYI I will be paying 45 Euros per month... -
waait.. though average throughput is more like sixty-something mbps.. link
edit: man, 10Mbps up would be a dream.. currently 256kbps up for about the same price -

You most likely wont get the whole 100mbps of speed. Due to proximity to the nearest exchange and other users in your neighborhood.
100mbps would be sweet though, that will be like downloading 12-13MB/s
Im on the ADSL2+ plan (24mbps) and im only getting 8-10mbps due to my proximity to the nearest exchange. Im on a 21gb plan, i usually exceed it by 60gb lol. -

yay for fast speeds.
too bad your not in US where majority of servers are so your going to have high latency at times.
I would snap for it anyway
most routers cant route that much traffic howerver.
look into a cisco or juniper with atleast 75mb of routing capability -

Yeah I am assuming that I would 'only' get a minimum 10 Mbps, not the 100Mbps advertised. Let's see!

that's roughly what i get although slighly higher upload 100kb i'm on a 10mb plan xD
wait is that kilobits or kilobytes???
EDIT: woah sweet download speed, shame about the upload speed. -
This thead makes me sad. My father pays $51 a month or something like that for comcast 12mb down/1mb up I think.
cable internet @ 100 Mbps worth it?
