Home networking

hub sharing 64k connectionDo not mistake it for some small office networking. Believe it or not it is the networking done in my house to access net from every corner in the home. With more than 3-4 systems simultaneously using the poor old Tata Indicom 64k connection via the router and the hub. Myself, My bro, Office systems all happily extract the last bit from the connection. And when pages start crawling, there is not a better sight in the world than to see those led’s on the hub blinking rapidly.

But still browsing is fun and I continue to be with the same connection.

Whats more amusing is that no one realizes what an assault the poor connection faces. Dad only knows one thing that adding a new lan wire to another room will make the net accesible there if need be. Mom wouldnt miss a chance to carry on with her online share trading viewing TV. People who use it in the Office groundfloor, feel they are using Broadband so they can carry on.

Funny isnt it?

    lol nope, no physical bills as such. But I think he knows that my laptop is on throughout the day. but who cares, 64k isnt that bad as made out to be. i can surf and something is always better than nothing. Who doesnt want to extract the maximum for what one pays for?

    I only pray each morning that my net connection doesnt die on me!

    OMG! 64k and 4 users? :O isnt that worser than dial up per user? >.>

  5. Sourabh Says:

    there is a difference in dialup and ADSL. dialup agony is synonymous with disconnections, line busy, website connectivity problems.

    But a 64k line is enough for surfing for a few ppl at the same time. No issues with that.
