Snap, Crackle, Pop! Fast MacMini

[jack92029]

My 2.3Ghz Mini just arrived. All I can say is Wow!

My screen downloads are Snap, Crackle, and Pop! It's almost instantaneous, of course my internet connection is approximate 25 Gbs. Download and 5.5 Gbs. Upload.

I went to my SmugMug photo account and opened some images in their Original resolution (10 Gb files) almost instantly.

I ran the Geek Benchmarks (32 Bit)

2.3 Ghz w/ 4GB Ram - 10722
2.3 Ghz w/ 8GB Ram - 10955 2.1% improvement

This compares to my Late 2009 iMac 3.06 Dual Core of 4100 - 267% improvement

I'm very happy

I'm sorry, did you say you have a 25Gbps down/5Gbps up connection?! I am blinded with jealous rage!

Correction: should have said MBS not GBS...Its fast just not that fast...Ooops

My modem is a Motorola SB6120 DOCSIS 3 which really improved my speeds. I'm paying for 12 Mbs speed but DOCSIS 3 gives me real world 2X that.

Now that I have the Mini and faster monitor, my refresh is only limited by the speed of my hand to move the mouse. Very cool!

Okay, the world makes sense again! Now my speed doesn't feel so pitiful.

Show off! Just kidding...


Are you at a university or military installation with a T1 line?

Just for the record, a T1 is 1.5mbit. An iPhone 5 with normal LTE service is about 16x the speed of a T1 @ ~25mbit.

Remember when a T1 line was considered fast? My best iPhone 5 LTE downloads have been just over 50 Mbps and my home Wifi usually is in the 34-45 Mbps range.

 

[jmxp69]

I saw 45mb on LTE a couple of times, but I generally hover around 25. Yeah, I remember when a T1 was fast. I started an ISP almost 20 years ago and our main line serving 1000+ customers was a T1. Of course that was when the web was predominently text with colorful HR lines and marble balls representing the "graphical" piece of the equation

It's strange -- I live in the sticks of western Massachusetts, yet Comcast keeps rolling out speed increases like we are a major metropolitan area. Not that I'm complaining!
