Why do these type of topics list speeds you can never dream of getting on every forum I see?

Well, think of it like that. With broadbrand net, you can hang out on these forums a lot, with a lesser speed, you would spend lesser time on the net. Maybe.

all adds doesn't slow you down like they would on dial up

Optimum Online Boost 30MB/s (or so im told)

it pisses me off, cuz i never get speeds over 1MB/s most of the time.
Probably going to switch to FiOS, since its the same tech, only better cuz Fios is direct while OOL is shared

Some of you have really nice connection speeds, I'm stuck on 4mbit down and 128kbit up, which is still NZ$50/month, that and it's "managed" which basically translates into all traffic except pop3, imap or ftp is slowed down, so I rarely see anything close to 4mbit.

Can't wait till VDSL2 is rolled out, supposed to be this year, but that would allow for 250mbit at the exchange

speed 8Mbit/384Kbit $49/month
downloads 20GB/month then $2/GB excess

ETS · 05-18-2007

256 kbps down/256 kbps up (at night)
32 kbps down/32 kbps up(during the day)

My internet costs $125 a month. Yes, I'm in Africa :/.

Use satellite man, even though it's expensive, it's not THAT expensive.

5MB down/ 512KB up

$39/month

elcasey · 05-20-2007

I always laugh at how cheap and fast broadband is in Europe and how shitty and expensive it is in the US...complete shit government and greedy corporations for the win!

I get 10Mbps/~1.5Mbps up for $60/month from Roadrunner. But at least Roadrunner doesn't forward any of those bullshit nastygrams from RIAA/MPAA to its customers like Cox and some others do.

I pay $46 monthly and I don't get anywhere near that speed. $5 of it is for a static IP address, but the ISP blocks port 25 ingoing and outgoing, which is an inconvenience. ATT/Yahoo offers the same service (but only dynamic IP address) for less money and they don't block port 25 incoming, only outgoing.

Jeezie Creezie... I feel so inadequate... AGAIN.
I shall go bury myself in the backyard now.

At least it feels like something constructive, versus the waiting for the promised DSL.

qtwerp · 05-21-2007

They keep dropping me to lower and lower speeds. Don't really know how fast it is but ISDN's starting to look good!
