That sucks. I guess I'm just spoiled, although not as spoiled as Alistair or Gaussian - 5mbps...
Well actually I don't have 5mps
p?tr??k, like I said I'm
planning to get 10mps (or 7).?
I'm not so spoiled right now. Of course, compared with modem users I am, but I have what I would call
slow high-speed internet?
. I have DSL, but since I?m far from the central office I?m only getting 75kB/sec, but even that I don?t get, because our wonderful phone company still has to replace a damaged ground cable that slows down my internet to a ?poor? 40kB/sec. Then I have this poor 16kB upload speed, which isn?t a lot of help either. For example uploading the attachment folder of this board? (500MB) to the new server about 2 weeks ago, took me close to 10 hours.
I never really need it to be faster....need that is.?
Depends what you call ?need?.
?
If I for example would get 7 mbps I would probably in real time get about? 6.5 mpbs (according to reports at Dslreports.com). 6500/8= about 815 kB/sec, 20 times faster as what I have now. And guess what? I would pay $5 less. So that?s why I said ?what do you call ?need??, because faster doesn?t always mean more expensive.?
