I'm getting 3mbit/s on my DSL. On my old cable I was getting 15mbit/s. Soon enough I will have 45mbit/s cable.

So... Take that you fucker. :P

I've heard that my ISP/telco has a 20-30mbit service in the works, but it's not all going to be for internet access. I believe (at first anyways) the DSL line will be bumped to 7mbits, and the rest is going to be used for VOIP and IPTV.

Nice line Jamsan! I'd be a bit more envious if you had a decent upstream(in comparison with the down).


Now that it's over, this weight is off my shoulder
Now that it's over, I love you more and more

Took you look enough Jamsan. Now don't go getting yourself capped


All I see is a black hole, and sooner or later they’re going to suck each one of us into it. But when they come for me, I'm going to take as many of them with me as I can.

My Canadian broadband is definitely not "slow as hell", I can max my upstream 24/7 if there's enough leechers.


it's getting faster too.

i talked to a tech online, and told em that all my friends were getting great speeds in my area, so i asked him if i could get a new modem...he told me i just had to go into any walk in center, and ask them to upgrade my modem... well they did, however, they let me keep my old modem (good for backup purposes), but the new modem they gave me, is only a loaner...its free, but i just have to return it whenever i cancel my service (which i never plan on doing unless i move and optimum isnt available in that area)

now that is a fat pipe I don't have any problems envying, I wish there was a service like that around here. How much do you pay for that supa, it's not a business line is it?

thats definately some sort of business line -- i think he has optimum just like us in his home, so its not that. and most business lines usually have so so downstreams, while having monstorous upstreams
