My cable modem is SO FUCKING FAST!
 

FINALLY!!!!

with comcasts takeover backup i had to be on dsl here since i moved in, averaging only 40k after being used to my 250k cable modem in the burbs.


Now I'm HUMMIN' maxin at 850k, average at 650k with full downloads goin.


You don't know what ya got till its gone....but when ya get it back....it's SWEET!!!!!!




:) :) :) :)

YOu lucky bastard :winkwink:

i love my cable modem also...it is just as fast

i usually average out at 450k/sec though....but I get up to 800k/sec sometimes....it rocks

We were at the river not long ago.. and I jumped on moms laptop at 40k ....


.... damn it was painful


Ive had 2g connection for far too long ....

.. almost forgot what it was like back in the day...


BIG B

No 8 MBit DSL lines in the US?

dsl claims are always bogus


up to 1megps


averages 40k

yea, and i had to put up with that for like 8 months and i work online!


now im hummin........goin on vacation in like 12 hours though heh, will download more bella donna porn to test it out and enjoy it before i leave though

:winkwink:

I have 3mbps cable with Adelphia.

Paupers, I have 100 mbit at home :D

In The Netherlands cable claims are bogus. I have around 900kbyte down and 250kbyte up with DSL.

dsl can't go that fast.....it is very limited on it's speed

yep me too... DSL is hella fast here. Cable is only like 250K/sec

«5032 down
«3605 up


;-)

THe office connection smokes!

dsl is faster with less populations, that's why you'll see people in other countries or in farmtown college areas clock decent speeds on dsl.

in the city of chi, you simply wont get fast dsl. cable is king.


and if you need faster than half a meg a second....well, I can't see myself needing that.

Hey Bill, whats up?

Now stop bragging! lol ;)
:thumbsup

Just the other way around! Cable is splitted between users, DSL is never splitted. If you have 10 users on 1 cable line your speed turns to shit... DSL doesn't have that problem.

How much do you pay for it?

you are very lucky

his mommy pays 10 grand/month for it

:thumbsup

3 meg on comcast here! WOOO HOOOO

are you actually clocking that?


im on comcast too, at my parents house, avg 200k. here avg 5-600k

DSL speed depends on your distance from the CO - not because of over population.

The phone line quality also plays a role in it..

ya know, i get conflicting reports from people.


my line here was closer than my line was on my old dsl at home before they got cable.


line at home, 5x further away, 5x faster too. overpopulated dsl here are what i blame.

Check it somewhere like here maybe:
http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

this is a good resource for some people


some dont realize 2mega communicatons = about 250k per second



still blazin, beats my first 9600 modem or whatever the hell it was.

hehehe... the advantage of having your office inside the data center... ;-)

hehe, cool


echo ATZ > com 2

yup DSL is all about distance from Central Office (CO) or Remote Terminal (RT) ...

under 4000ft ... u'll get 1.5-3 Mbps ... 11k feet from CO .. gives u 386kbps...

currently i'm 2000ft away from an RT ... i'm gettin rougly 260KB/s = 2.0 Mbps ..

my deal is 1.5-3Mbps down/ 386kbsp up .. $40/mo.

Wrong, I have 8 MBPS down, and 1 MBPS up with DSL...Very stable....(the Netherlands)

Andre

mag, on dsl? country?

Same Here.

DSL can go alot faster than that actually, the FCC on the other hand, cannot.

BMF

DSL can be screwy if your phone swithing center is old and crusty somewhere on the line.

Isnt DSL the service where theres varied plans for different speeds? Just a knob you can pay them more to crank up your BW a bit?

All systems can be good or bad. For me, cable is excellent. So no need to explore options.

Can't we all just get along?

Remember waiting 2 hours to get 1 big GIF image that took up 1/4 of your hard drive? Then it sucked so bad you deleted it a minute later anyway? Then paid a huge long distance bill for the priviledge? lmao

nope, cable. Optimum Online (OOL). 10Mbps Up/Down.

They're in the New York area. :Graucho

Pings to my datacenter from home on OOL are like 8ms, and pings from comcast cable in Springfield, MA are 17ms. :Graucho

cable is badass

I had to set up the in-laws PC and they have dial-up..damn I read a book between clicks! And took hours to do Microsoft updates.
All hail cable!!

i know i hail it!

ok, sorry, the USA...should have specified..

yea, the usa deffinately is a no go for most dsl users

other countries seem to do better
