English term

so that not everyone can obtain full-speed access

English to French Other Computers: Systems, Networks
If all users have 4Mbit (megabit equivalent to 512 Kilobytes a second) connections, and the exchange has a total of 80Mbit (10 Megabytes per second) of bandwidth, then only 20 users can log on simultaneously and get a full-speed internet connection. Since most computer users are looking at web pages, however, checking email and so on, they only use a fraction of their bandwidth. This allows potentially hundreds of users to share the available bandwidth.

Even so, if too many people are downloading high-bandwidth files, such as music or movies, or streaming video content across the internet, then the available bandwidth may have to be limited so that not everyone can obtain full-speed access. This is why most broadband accounts are limited, or have a cap on how much you can download from the internet, to prevent users downloading full-speed content all the time.

je trouve ce 'so that not evryone' un peu confus... merci !

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Anne de Freyman (X), Stéphanie Soudais

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

réduisant/restreignant ainsi l'accès au haut-débit/à la haute vitesse à certains utilisateurs

le full speed est moins rapide que le high speed (High-speed (480 Mb/s), full-speed (12 Mb/s). je pense donc que pleine vitesse n'est pas adéquat. le high speed ne serait-il pas l'équivalent du très haut-débit ?


Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : This introduces a concept that is not there in the original; the use of 'certains' could imply some kind of selection not implied by 'not everyone' = 'pas tous'

de manière que la pleine vitesse ne soit pas disponible à tous

Although the English is rather poorly written, I actually think it is intended to be read in this sense — 'so that' does not mean 'afin que...' here, but has more the sense of 'par conséquent...'

Not too sure about how best to express this in FR, but I think the nuance of meaning is quite important.

They are obliged to limit the bandwidth in order for everyone to have a fair share, and AS A RESULT not everyone has full-speed access.
