I take as much as I can get, for a reasonable price.

The time I need it the most is probably when streaming three streams at the same time. 4K is in the works, if not already here.

I'm not getting the "grade" that you other guys are getting

Depends what you're paying for. If you're paying for consumer level 15 Mbps, then that's great. If you're paying for 50 Mbps...you may want to have a "discussion" with your provider...

Instead of a screen shot, hit the "share" link.  The image link they give you has the grade.

16 mbps is probably plenty.  And you probably do as much video uploading/downloading as anybody.  Does it seem adequate to you?

Yeah, seriously… Guy's connection is faster than 55% of the U.S. It's fine.

I wonder what percentage of that are people who forgot they had an AOL account.

Thanks.  Now for the $64,000 question.  Why is it faster to download than to upload?  It doesn't seem to make sense that data moving through the system moves faster one way than another.

Please use little, non-geeky words......


Think of it this way, most people only use the web to "search, download music / movies, stream music / video "

These require fast downstream service from the service provider.

Most users do not upload many files to the internet, other than you tube nuts/regular users.

Granted many people do upload and have many various interests, but they are generally individuals who are either professional or hobbyist.

They know the proper methods to compress the files and usually have a regular need for the faster service's.

The cost for these service's hasn't been spent in the US by the major companies for the required infrastructure (fiber optics mainly)

It probably will be 5 or more years before the US has the capability to provide faster speeds.

Most likely wireless speeds will be the new generation for users, via phone service providers.

Cables will be a thing of the past.

Did you just say 2 mb/s up is slow and will take awhile to upload photos???

Also, "reasonable for internet use?" I think you have a very skewed idea of what is necessary for standard internet use.... a 15 mbs / 1.5 mbs connection is pretty much more than adequate for most home users.

You don't know from slow unless you were around during dial up days hah


Have you ever had a friend send you 50 photos of their vaca using their new digital camera, which still set at factory settings for hi-rest quality?

Yes, todays service's are adequate, but not up to speed with other countries.

It's not really a necessity for standard user's, but providers compete for consumers business and must raise the bar to compete.

Yes I suffered through the "dial-up" era.... :doh:

I get that.  My question is why will data, presumably moving through the same system, move faster one way (downloading) than the other (uploading)?

Traditionally it had something to do with the PA (power amplifier) in your modem being less powerful than the one in the substation by the fiber optic cable. Symmetric lines like T1/2/3 and have pretty bulky modems. Higher bit rates mean more power output. For the receive side more sensitive and higher bandwidth receivers don't require large amplifiers.

In this day in age, I wonder if it's just artificial (they can charge more)? We can get a PA from Hittite pretty cheap: http://www.hittite.com/press_releases/index.html/view/446/print

EDIT: 25W is pretty expensive.

Because of the infrastructure which has been installed to provide the service to the millions of customers as new communities are developed further away

from metropolitan areas is very costly.

When the cables and fiber lines and equipment were installed, their interests were to provide users with only quick DL capability.

The cable companies did not find it necessary to spend additional costs for additional cables / equipment for upload service's.

If my friend ever sent me 50 pictures of their vacation I'd tell them where they can put those pictures after I print them out on extra heavy stock paper. I don't know anyone that sends that many pictures to others.

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
