£49.99 per month for sat connection, plus £10-£15 per month for dialup ISP (plus the one off £12 activation fee, the £60 DVB TV card, and the £20 LNB for my sat. dish). Gaming doesn't really bother me...in fact, I really can't stand online gaming (prefer LANS...plus there's always a shedload of die-hard players that kick yer ass). Like I said, Satellite is my only option (apart from ISDN...but seems a waste of money to me) - I've been stuck with 56k for the past 6 years (not including the year I lived away from home and had 512k cable) and I've finally got fed up with it...I get a month's free @ 512k anyway, just to test it, but I'm sure I'll be happy with it, and upgrade to 2Mb. Plus there's the added bonus of being able to watch satellite TV through my computer (I have 2 dishes, each pointing at different sats.) - 24/7 p0rn!!
56k at home (which never seems to work lately ) 26.6k on laptop (which at least does work). I think I'll be waiting a while before my village is BB enabled (100 people need to show interest and for so far there's 17) not to sure what I'm using at work, but needless to say it's a lot faster than my home connection.
8032/864kbps Originally i had 1000/384kbps, but when i moved, i had to wait 3 months before they managed to move the damn line to my new adress! So they gave me their fastest line for 3 months free of charge to make it up. And they seem to have forgotten to turn my speed back down, cuz that`s like 6 months ago
768 down/ 512 up...but more like 1 meg downstream in all realities... wireless thingy to the local grain elevator..no dsl or anything like that..all the lines around this way are crap
I've got 1mb cable, but since you only posted cable upto 512kb/s i had to select the 'stupidly huge connection' option
I'm on 256/64k ADSL. But only cause its cheaper than the phone bill for dailup My grandparents were gonna get 10 Meg cable but telstra stuffed around for 3 months, and since they're moving house in another 2 months (and would have to pay some huge relocation cost if they could even get cable at the new address), so their just waiting till after they move now. 1500/512 ADSL at grandad's work, plus I'm putting 512/256 ADSL in my new work, again becuase its cheaper than dailup (and would allow them to lose the two phone lines they use for internet - 48.8k dailup). PS I used to only be able to get 33.6k with my dailup, I have a 56k modem and was with 3 different providers claiming to give 56k dialup.
100base-TX switched ethernet 5 hops from the RUnet backbone. The backbone is (last I checked) twelve gigabit fibers to Verizon, twelve gigabit fibers to UUNet (MCI/Worldcom), and eight gigabit fibers to some other ISP I don't remember the name of. I get between 13000kbdown/13000kup and 23000kbdown/28000kbup depending on the time of day. Not quite 100mb/s but it's hard to find speed testing sites that will actually report the speed and not throw back an error. Speeds get plain old silly when I get a site off the transparent proxy. I love universities!
Four words... "I ******* hate you" Just kidding.. So its nice I bet... I will have to be going down to crummy sub 56k dialup in a week or two But me webserver is moving to a friends But, vnc is SLOW as a snail at 2.5k/s... well, ok. The snail wins all hands down. Its like pitting a 186 against a dual p4 3.2C oc'd to 5 or so(if you could find one ) Doing a multy threaded benchmark app.
im not actually sure what i have at work, is their anyway to be able to check WITHOUT asking the IT admin guy?
Plusnet 512/256 ADSL £22.99/month. Might move to 1024/256 from cpbb when the years up in June.. only a couple of extra ££ per month. I'm happy with it though. Regularly get 60KB/s even though it's supposed to be 50:1 contention ratio. Can't be that many people on it where I live.
512/256 ADSL want much faster but student stuff and car means slower net. back at uni used to be able to hit 12Mbit/sec downloading on a sunday when no-one was in
