i just go back from a freshman orentation type thing for college, and they said pretty much the whole campus is wireless then they said in the dorms that they run a T9 connection.....i was like  lol.....can anyone tell me what kind of speeds i will be looking foward to?

the girl that was showing us the rooms or sum....i thought the highest was t-3 too....but she said it didnt mean nothing to her but that  its really fast

I have never heard about a T-9. I have just heard about T-1, T-2, and T-3 thats all and the OC's. That's pretty much it.

Units of Measurement
bit   = smallest unit of digital information, i.e. ones & zeros
byte  = a set of bits
bps   = bits per second
Kbps  = kilobits per second =1000 bits per second
Mbps  = Million bits per second =1,000,000 bits per second
Gbps  = Gigabits per second = 1,000,000,000 (one billion) bits per second
Tbps  = Terabits per second = 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) bits per second
(Network speed is mesured in 1000 units, memory and storage space in 1024 units)

2400 bps      modem speed circa 1980s 

hahaha... That made me just remember that my first modem was 300 baud... and now I am connected via 4 multiplexed DS-3's... insane.

ahhhh, the bad 'ol days   

800XL.....How about a trash 80....or a commodore 64???   The first computer I bought had a 40Meg hard drive....OK ..so it's been a while since I played Santapravia..(if that's spelled right)..

Yeah... you were one of the lucky ones then... First hard drive I got was a whopping 10 megs, and costed around $400... and the thing was huge... looked like an intake manifold for an engine or somethin......lol
