Don't forget that it takes 8 bits (b) to make one byte (B), and that protocol overheads will consume roughly 20% of any advertized bandwidth. So, ~1,000KB/sec downloads reported by your web browser are roughly analogious to an 10Mbit/sec connection. This is disucssed in more detail on our blog.

TOCICI - The Company
Yep, we're a small company in Oregon and that's the way we like it. We don't have sales staff, we build our business through word-of-mouth. We have real informed full-time staff to provide what you need, and we don't sell hardware; we're not going to push unsuitable systems onto you. When you have an issue, so do we, and we will work until it's resolved.
TOCICI - History
In 1995, during the days when AOL was "The Internet", GW Computers was established to formalize a then High Schooler's part-time computer service and repair business. In 1998, due to the owner's legal restoration of his original surname, GW Computers was aptly renamed to GB Computers.
In the years since, thanks in large part to the Internet's onset, the services offered by GB Computer's owner significantly changed. From general desktop computer service and support, to the design and management of increasingly larger international private networks. As the years passed, it became increasingly obvious that "GB Computers" no longer accurately identified the business. GB Computers was no longer some kid typing away on a misbehaving Windows machine.
In early 2008, during what is best-described as an early-morning epiphany, the name TOCICI was born. TOCICI is a play on the first letters from the phrase The Only Constant Is Change Itself, and mirrored the theme TOCICI has long operated under; providing effective communication and collaboration services, through information systems design, construction and management, in an unforgiving sea of swift and constant change. Since 1995 TOCICI has worked with mixed Linux, xBSD, MacOS, Solaris, SCO, Windows, and Netware networks.
We've designed and coordinated the construction of networks spanning across three continents, systems with more than 5,000 nodes, and our bread & butter clients are businesses with 2-25 employees. We'll enable utilization of the best tools on the fastest systems, and provide support you can count on. Put your business and IT systems on a path to recovery; contact us today.
