Re: [MH] Cyberpunk
Where do you live? A gig is high around here, and we have a fair tech industry here. I do get 5mbps for installation cost only, so 10 really isn't that high.

At any rate, I would assume that in a cyberpunk world, where computers, computing, etc., are supposed to be insanely well-developed (to the point of interacting online via VR rather than TCP/IP), the average connection speed will be incredibly high. If someone told me that such a world had speeds "up to 10M/s," it would break my suspension of disbelief. So either handwave and obfuscate it, or crank it up significantly.

Re: [MH] Cyberpunk
How much bandwidth would you need for VR anyway? I've found estimates on the net for how much information the brain processes per second, but they range from 11 million to 11 trillion bits per second. Hmm...

Re: [MH] Cyberpunk
About the 10Mbit/s thing, the US government is looking at upping a minimal service plan for the poor, either to 10Mbit/s or FROM 10Mbit/s. But the reason it seems slow is because there's this belief that you need to spend the entire day watching YouTube

There are a few places with slightly faster residential rates available, around 2 Gb/s or so, but that's even rarer (and more expensive) than the 1 Gb/s offerings. But yeah, in a cyberpunk world I'd assume that rates would increase - unless we're talking 'current day is cyberpunk' or similar. |
