5MB = 40 Mb, easy math. 8Mb=1MB. 99Mb? Hardly. 5MBps sounds like T3 and 99Mb sounds like you trying to sound...cocky.

Actually, they don't go much higher than 3 GIGABYTES a second.

3GB/s is the maximum transfer rate of Serial ATA, no drive on the consumer market achieves anywhere NEAR this speed. The fastest transfer rate I've seen so far was the result of putting 24 SSD drives in RAID, achieving 2GB/s.
[QUOTE=dArKnEsS_2;23976818]Here in Toronto, it's about $60/month for a 25mbit down and 1mbit up. It also has a limit of 125GB/month. The only reason we upgraded so high is because we kept hitting our monthly limit. Anyone know a better ISP in Toronto than Rogers?[/QUOTE]
There is Teksavvy, though it's DSL. You won't find any other cable providers since cable is almost always a monopoly. Since cable is usually better for internet, you'll have to stay with the cap. Also sucks that the terms of service states that P2P activity is capped to 80 kbps.
If you think the internet is valuable enough to you that requires moving out, find an area serviced by Eastlink.
Bandwidth (All types, be it internet connections or data connections like IDE) is measured in BITS.
The maximum data transfer rate by way of single cable SATA II is 286 MBs/second. effectively 250 MB/s in most cases, that cap has been touched by high-end SSDs.
RAID setups have multiple cables so more data can be transferred at once that a single hardrive.

Okay, so if SSD drives are already near the speed of 3Gb/s then why did 24 SSDs only achieve 2GB/s?
that is the speed when there is no traffic on the network.

That was back about two years ago when SSDs had around 120 MB/s write rates and 200 MB/s Read rates (and that was for the Intel X-25 M). SSDs have progressed tremendously these past two years. And also due to RAID 0's scaling. Two SSDs in RAID will not double the read/write speed.

Please, stop giving advice here.

They do.
MB = Megabytes
Mb = Megabits
