@aeiou. read the damn comment below.in datacom there are 10 bits per byte.1 start bit, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.its called framing. Without it, there is no way to tell if you are out of sync and reading from the middle of a byte.
It's funny as a Japanese resident and former NTT fiber to the home customer, I can really attest to the fact the NTT internet sucks. I've been a long-time american broadband customer so I was super psyched when I heard that I could get 100 MB/s fiber here. It was a total disaster from the start though...my connection would constantly time out to popular sites like cnn.com or google.com and would only display after a refresh...i could no longer connect to games that required UDP. When I called NTT to complain they just acted confused and never really could find a tech who understood what UDP was or what the problem was for that matter. On top of all that the top speed that I could get was always about 300 KB/s nowhere near 500 MB/s. I attribute this to poor peering agreements with International backbone providers. Perhaps I can send a file at record speeds to the NTT head office but no to anywhere meaninful.Wghen they came they just did as any american ISP would do and blamed the wireless router. When the techs came I showed them the same problems using a wired connection and still there was no real answer. the techs were all outsourced morons who themselves told us we should cancel our contract and switch back to cable internet. We finally did that and have been much happier.
@ufia:You really need to get a clue about networking. You think this big dood with a 14Gb/s connection to the net is going to use it to get all his pr0n? Heard about backbone networks or carrier trunks? Voice communications? The list is endless.
