Is 100.0 mbps fast

Answer 1

Most network cards in consumer's personal computers can operate up to 100 Mbps or one hundred megabits per second or 12.51 MB per second. While that is fast, most ISPs(internet Service Providers) only provide internet access at barely one-half of that speed around 50 Mbps or 6.1 MB per second on average. Check with the company you are subscribed with to see how fast or perform a speed test on you connection.

Answer 2

12 megabytes per second download is a good Internet speed for ADSL 2. Speed varies with distance from the Exchange and the quality of the copper cables.

Upload speed will be much slower.

With 12 Mbps you can typically:

• view High Definition video downloaded.
• have 3 standard definition videos viewed at the same time
• make 12 VOIP call. This is based on at least 1 Mbps upload speed.
• Run 3 remote Thin Client sessions from a distant data centre.
• have 6 persons sharing a Internet connection for web pages.

If you were mixing uses then even more bandwidth would be needed.

Answer 3

Yes, it is. It is how fast your LAN operates (newer generation allows 1Gbps).

Answer 4

There are certainly faster options, but for basic internet Surfing (email, blogs, social sites) 12 mbps should be sufficient.
