Re: in the centrum of the payla



OK
This is what i know maybe im wrong :-O

On the line to the internet can be transfered only one bit at once.

When u upgrade form 64k to 128k its dont mean that now 2 bit will go
toghether paralely side by side. 

Its mean that the bit will travel faste to the next hope so it will give
more information at same time.

So if a bit travling faste it will make latency much lower (without
entring traffic or computer latency into the picture)
