Originally posted by Shotmaster :. There is not cap on Valve's end. With that said, several ways have been developed for us to be able to transfer digital files from one device to another. The simplest way to transfer a file is through a data cable specifically made to transmit data. Nowadays, we can also transfer data wirelessly through radio frequencies like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. We can now also upload or transfer data to the internet so that other people can access it.
The internet is a series of computer networks running all across the world. With the internet, we can now easily send any file to our loved ones, even if they are a thousand miles away from us, as long as they also have access to the internet.
All we need to do is upload our file to the internet. Then, to access our file, people have to download it to their devices. Uploading and downloading data can take a while, depending on the file's size and transfer rate. Think of it like pouring water into a beaker. Pouring water from one beaker to another will only take a little amount of time. However, if we place a funnel on one beaker, the amount of water flow will decrease due to the narrow part of the funnel. The flow rate of the water in this analogy is similar to the transfer rate of a file.
We can compare a funnel's narrow tube part to what is called the internet's bandwidth. The larger the bandwidth is, the more data that can be transmitted at a time. Therefore, a file can be transferred much faster if the internet connection has a larger bandwidth. Bandwidth is also, in a way, an internet connection's maximum capacity, and we can express it in units of bits per second.
Internet bandwidth can also represent the maximum speed an internet connection can have. However, when moving a file from one computer to another, the maximum transfer speed will depend on the slowest bandwidth that the data has to go through - which can be anywhere in the route. To better understand this, let us consider an example. Let's say that your friend wants to send you his new MB megabytes video creation over his 10 Mbps megabits per second internet connection.
On the other hand, you will be receiving the video file over your 5 Mbps home internet connection. For this example, let us assume that the upload and download speeds for both connections can use their entire bandwidths.
Since the file will also be coming through the much lower 5 Mbps connection, this will be the maximum transfer speed that we can get for this data transfer. Any other suggestions though while I am at it? Your internet may be 3mbps but that is max. Never will you get max because you share the tower with other families. In the unlikely event you are the only user on, you would then see speeds closer to max.
I had 3mbps net and that was the case. Peak hours sucked, my advice, upgrade the internet, but that doesn't sound like an option where you live. JoHnEyAp posted Assuming my isp isn't having problems. I have begged my isp to upgrade my speed, and while they are in the process of expanding their fiber optic network, I live in the middle of no where in a town that MIGHT have people, I am on the very edge of their service area, it could be three years or more before they run it near my house.
As for peak hours, I don't believe such a thing exists in my area, many people in this small town do not own a computer. User Info: MetalZoic. It was the same way with the PS3. On the X1 test or a speedtest. On the PS4 it shows a measly down and only up. User Info: jbecerril. Fanboys defending the PS4 will defend it regardless. The fact is very simple, Sony servers are decent, Microsoft servers are great. Now I'm wondering if it also holds true for the ps4.
Haven't had time to look into the ps4 yet. First off the speed test in the playstation xmb menu, is a test for the connection between your ps3 and the playstation servers! Sony DOES cap the connection between your ps3 and the psn servers. I have found that the cap can be different at different times, my guess would be that it fluctuates based on how many people are using the servers, and how much the servers are being used at a given time.
If you go into the browser, and go to speedtest. You will see that the speeds given there are significantly higher than the speeds given in the xmb menu. This is because, this is a test between, your ps3 and top notch servers, with top notch speeds, around the world.
You may also notice that the speeds from speedtest. This could be due to a bunch of things. User Info: RyuuHou More topics from this board Tech Support 3 Answers Why does it say my card is expired when it doesn't expire until Tech Support 4 Answers Can i turn off ps4 recording?
