gigabit ethernet

[Steve T]

If I replace my integrated 10/100 base-T network interface with a PCI
10/100/1000 Mbps gigabit Ethernet card, will my download and upload speeds
increase? A friend of a friend swears by it but does not have any numbers
before and after to support it. Running cable broadband with an XP PC.
Thanks, Steve T.

Do you have a gigabit connection to your ISP?

 

[Steve T]

My ISP provides up to MBPS download speeds, if that's what you mean. Steve

Your Internet connection will always be slower than your Ethernet
connection, using a cable modem. So, no.

Only from computer to computer on your network. Download speed from internet
depends from the speed of internet connection and is much slower than
100Mbps, as a rule for DSL expect 1.5 -3 MBps for cable 3-6 MBps, for
fiberoptic can be up to 30 MBps
