- If more use broadband, will dialup speed increase?
- Posted by cgott on December 13th, 2004
As more people use faster internet connections like cable, will dialup
speeds increase since, theoretically, there may be fewer people tying
up phone lines?

no. Each user on dialup has as much bandwidth as they are going to get, no
matter how many people are on dialup as well. It's a technological
limitation of the telephone lines, and switching, not the ability of the ISP
to feed the connection.

Yes theoretically if everyone switches to broadband, this will leave dial-up
clear of all traffic and will eventually be faster than broadband itself.

Definitely. Looking at our bandwith monitor here, we could in theory take
another 70,000 dialup customers and not max out our upstream bandwith.
With an average connection of 42kbit/sec, the limitation is definitely on
the dialup side vs how much spare bandwith your ISP has laying around.

The dialup speed is depended on the phone line and the dialup modem as the
bottleneck. The next bottleneck is the serial port, or the equivalent to
one. No matter what happens, the dialup modem service will be restricted,
due to the type of technology that it is.

landowner, apple-polished:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You stupid fucking cunt. The old 16550 chipset can
pump 115 kiloBYTES per second and the newer 16950 can fucking well pump
921.6 kiloBYTES per second. That's BYTES, you fucking idiot, not BITS.
115kBps is is /only/ 30% slower than my 1.5Mbps T1 broadband pipe, you
fucking daft git. As for 16950, it's almost SIX fucking TIMES faster than a
T1 and is almost on a par with even the latest 1GB ethernet speeds, you
completely stupid fuckstain on a homosexual's bedsheets.
Grow a fucking brain before they put you out with the other garden plants,
you stupid cunt.
