Hi , apparently I am using cable broadband and I am on 32 mbps and I get download speed of 4 mBps . So, my friends say that my connection is shared hence I get 4 mBps ( 32 gets divided by 8 ) , so I wanna know that is it the same case for you all ? I mean does your connection also gets divided by 8 or you use 1:1 connection or lease line ? And does ur ISP provide you with a Static IP ? My ISP says that if I take lease line , I will get a unique static IP which will be only mine and wont get shared.
Forgive me if I have written something wrong, I am kinda newbie when it comes to networking, slowly learning . :)

i assume the difference is what you have is a dynamic ip, and a lease line is static.

both have advantages. if you set up a server of some kind for people to connect to, a static ip is preferred because if the ip changes they can no longer connect to it. (though there are services to circumvent that problem.)

a dynamic ip has the advantage of being able to change your ip just by cycling your modem.

edit: my bad. slipped.

8 bit = 1 byte

ie, 32mbps IS 4mBps. you are receiving all of your bandwidth.

only you have your ip. well, you and all computers on your local network.

a static ip is when the ip you receive is always the same one. a dynamic one will change when your modem connects to the internet. either way, you will be the only customer with that ip when you have it.

personally i have a 100mbit connection, which gets me about 12mBps. ip is static. its cable.
