Poll : Your internet speed

Yeah....

 

Just tested the bandwith of my faculty's library computers.



Turns out it's not all that bad.

 

Yeah, kinda okay I guess...

DO WANT! DAMN IT! :love2:

 

This is mine in New Zealand.

 

ADSL2+ Bigpond Internet with Telstra
26 KM from the Exchange

 

Bro that sucks.

 

No as bad as mine..

 

I don't understand why people/companies still install ADSL, from my experience it has been horrificly slow. My aunt had Sky installed around 2007/8 and they installed ADSL and that loaded webpages like the slowest piece of crap I had ever used.

 

Not bad I guess but its not my fastest.

 

In some places it's the only option sadly, I had ADSL frrom 2003 to 2010, it worked like shit. Thankfully, last year Telmex started operating in Buenos Aires, they were offering fiber optic Internet connection, without thinking twice I installed their service. It's been a year and a half since I installed it, and it only crashed 3 times, and even then it was for a very short time.

 

Uggh, AT&T Uverse sucks

 

I feel bad for anybody forced to have ADSL. Total scam IMO, it was ridiculously slow for how much she was paying.

 

Anyone notice how Atari Age slowed down when they redid the Forum layout? A crap load of bloated Javascript. I hope any changes like that don't happen here.

 

Unless you pay more than $100 p/m in Australia you're forced with ADSL 2+. I've got no data limit on my connection, but the speed isn't the best. I'd rather be able to surf the web and not being worried about my data limit.

 

Everyone who never surfed using a slow ass acoustic coupler or other slow modem with sub ISDN speed, consider yourself blessed with high speed.
I remember the day we got dual channel ISDN.... WOAH! Speed revolution! And the day we got DSL, double WOAH!

 

here is my home connection, it should be higher but having some speed issues

 

My first experience was with 56K dial up. I remember when we finally got broadband (2003ish?), from blueyonder it was like £52 if you didnt have any other blueyonder service and if you did it was still £50.

Think our first experience with broadband was 256kbps or 750kbps.

 

All I'm saying is that if you remember downloading a 50MB file at 1.3KByte/s (BeOS image when we had a 14.4 modem), today's internet is a blessing.

Downloading your typical 700MB .avi pirate movie took the whole night with ISDN.

 

I get you bro, getting your hands on porn quickly at night was damn frustrating

 

and now due to Broadband you have streaming porn at your fingertips 24-7, the world is a wonderful place lol
