Hello Matt, Thanks for the info. The Webopedia says that a T1 is 24 lines bundled together at 64kbs each for 1.544mbs. That seems like it could handle a 411 mb file in 267 seconds (approx 4 1/2 minutes). Are actual speeds slower than that? Also, is it possible that SR's test speed was actually limited by the speed of the servers as opposed to the capacity of the fiber? The 50mbs file transfer time seems fast until it is compared to 200gps times that SR's demo on Wall Street claimed. Thanks again.
