How long for a download?

[BC_Programmer]

I would think Wired is always faster than Wireless.

barring of course a 10 mbps wired connection

I cant even imagine how fast 50 Mb/s is!!!
Sounds like the blink of an eye.

Two blinks when downloading a 100MB file.

Hmmm ... when I downloaded this large file there were times when I had 160 Kb/s.
I got the largest chunk of it then. It still took a few days in total though.

A 75 year old woman in Sweden owns the worlds fastest internet at 50GB/sec 

My computer would be filled in a few seconds!!!

I would think Wired is always faster than Wireless.

Speedtest gives me, on average, 15Mbps on my wired desktop, and 10Mbps on wireless laptop.

One can only wonder what a 75 year old woman would want with such speed on her internet.
Maybe she's got a lot of catching up to do.

Its seems Broni, that it is consistant with others, that wired is faster then.

The man setting up the internet was doing a demonistration that it's possible I think. And yeah, in general, wireless internet isn't as good as wired.

Broni, I downloaded from the link for mydigitallife.
It has two (2) .exe files.
Does it have a main install file, or do I have to click on both the exe files to install the whole thing, please?

[Broni]

The two files are: tcpz.exe, and tcpz64.exe.
The first one is for 32-bit Windows, the other one is for 64-bit.

[ImnoGuru]

Thanks Broni.
How do I find out what mine is then?

[Broni]

Most likely 32-bit.
Hold Windows logo key, and hit Pause/Break key. It'll tell you.

[ImnoGuru]

I took a break from what I was doing and had a look around.
Yep seems to 32 bit.

I'm getting excited, because the fiber-optic should be coming to my place pretty soon, and they promise 50Mbps download speed

How much will that cost?

Speedtest gives me, on average, 15Mbps on my wired desktop, and 10Mbps on wireless laptop.

I get the same speed with my desktop and my wireless laptop.  My Internet service is 1.5Mbps downlaod.  Perhaps the difference between wired and wireless does not become evident until a higher speed Internet service is used.

There is no info on it, but my feeling is, it may be at no cost. I assume, Comcast is simply replacing their network with fiberoptic. I may be wrong though.

I'd say so. My nominal speed is 6Mbps down.
