I saw speeds _well over_ 1.5Mbps downstream all the time even with single file downloads before the cap came into effect. Now, with damn near all of my downloads I hit this cap. I should be downloading faster, but I'm not. Why? The damn cap.
Also, what if you have 2 simultaneous downloads that can each go at 1.0Mbps? You can't anymore, they have to share the bandwidth. Of course, I see this all the time too.
Hell, at least they haven't blocked ports around here (yet)...
When I set up a linux gateway to be used on @home's network, I also couldn't DHCP through linux. I'm not sure if it is even needed anymore, as ATTBI seems to allow any damn hostname you want, but with @home I had to specify a hostname when DHCPing:
'dhcpcd -h C123456-A eth0' did the trick for me. Without that, I'd always time out.
Of course, you must replace that hostname with whatever is assigned to you.
I tried VMware for quite a while on a K6-2 550 w/ 256 ram and a TNT2. It did not work "beautifully". Sure, a K6-2 isn't the ideal machine to use to emulate a whole other machine, but then again, that's the problem with VMware: it basically emulates a whole new system.
AFAIK, Lindows runs Windows on top of Linux (just like Win4Lin?), instead of emulating a whole i386 machine. Obviously, this will perform much better than VMware on a low-end machine.
I haven't tried Lindows or Win4Lin, but I have tried both VMware and Wine, and for obvious reasons, Wine is a ton faster; after all, Wine is just another implementation of the APIs.
Now tell me, if you're stuck on a 550 as I've been (until tomorrow, 1600+, w00t!), wouldn't you be happy to hear that there's a native Win-on-Linux solution supposedly in the works so you can stop faking a whole other machine?
Damnit, the bandwidth cap sucks. I hit it all the time, even with just one download at a time! Start up a second download, and as expected, it just halves the download speed of each file.
Goddamnit.

Yeah, less than a year ago by like 15 days.
"The long-awaited 2.4.0 kernel was released on January 4 (announcement)."
Let's see, Jan 4 2001 to Dec 19, 2001, unless I'm trippin that's basically a fucking year!
Clubber Lang's numbers are correct, a T1 is 1.54 Megabit/s. I've at times hit 650KBps on my cable modem (@home/SFBA), which translates to somewhere around 5 Megabit/s. Fast? Hell yes, that's why I downloaded some 120MB in 2-3 mins.
Of course, now that ATTBI has us capped at 1.5Mb downstream.. goddamnit, I hit the cap all the time!
I think it's been quite a while since anyone gave a serious fuck about RDRAM, but it was mentioned in Anandtech's article: 1T-SRAM has a 10-15% greater die size, and RDRAM has a 15-30% greater die size than SDRAM. I'm not sure exactly, but I know my numbers aren't more than 5% off.
Konqueror also does this, and has quite a few specified by defaut... "gg:" searches google for , for example.
Others by default are fm: (freshmeat), rf: (rpm-find), dict: (meriiam-webster dictionary), ad: (acronym database), and many other popular search engines. Adding or modifying entries is very simple also; the entry for Acronym Database is 'http://www.chemie.de/tools/acronym.php3?language= e&acronym=\1'.

You may still have problems with audio, depending on your desktop environment. I don't know if esd poses any problems, but with KDE I have do run
mplayer -vo x11 -ao sdl test.mpg
If you don't have sdl and you have problems, you could always just chuck the audio with
mplayer -vo x11 -ao null test.mpg

Check out all the posts that mention the 128 kilobit upload cap. For reference, 128 kilobits = 16 kilobytes.

That ain't right... at times I've gotten 5Mb downstream (that's ~650KBps). Yes, that means over a meg every 2 seconds.
My friend, who got a cable modem a year before me (that would be around 1998 for him) used to get 1+Mb uploads all the time.
And this was on the TCI/ATT/@home cable network in the Bay Area, which later was capped to 128Kb upstream, and now 1.5Mb downstream. It sooooo sucks.

Except that those projects are always undergoing version changes, which requires addition and possibly change of existing code.
How many patches are there to KDE 2.2? And IE 5.5?
