Woo, Upgraded My Broadband

[Lito]

My connection was upgraded for 'free' a few days ago~.  Well, they claim its free, but then they jack up the price in what seems to be a totally unrelated matter.  and by totally unrelated matter i mean a letter saying 'We're happy to be serving you.  We raised the price of service to $**.**, but these are still competative'  Which really comes out to 'That upgrade wasn't free; We're really just pushing you down further so we can stick our corporate No! Censored! farther up our customers'

Anyways, i went from 100 kb/s down and 12 kb/s up to 300 kb/s down and 100 kb/s up.  I check my pings, and i rarely ever see a three digit ping anymore

I also have the luxury of having BT run.  Constantly.  Even when gaming.  Then have my brother BT and game at the same time, and i only get about 70 (around 50 if my brother isn't gaming, and no BTs are on) ping on LM.

Now all i need is a bigger harddrive to fit all this anime...or atleast a dvd burner~

nice ... i only get 150/50 (they say 150, i can get 162 on a good day)

Thats a great increase in your upload. I would love to have that. I get about 350 kb/s down, and 40 kb/s up

[Sancho]

How much do you pay for that?  I get 512 down/256 up for $30 a month, but I get really bad pings everywhere.  I very rarely get under 100 ping.

with my 162/50 i can ping 30-40 to lunix on a really good day (40-110 on those other days)

We in the UK are even luckier. We got a free 50% upgrade. (Yes you read that right Free)

So that means I've got a connection of about 750Kbs

Yeah!

I got upgraded for free from 1,500 kb/s to 3,000 kb/s and they said they're going up to 5,000 kb/s soon

[Magmatron]

I pay 50 bucks a month for a 28k connection.

If there was a wincing emoticon, he would have had his place in the above post.

Ness, are you living in a cave? Or possibly on some sort of desert island? I mean, you'd get faster speeds cheaper using AOL for fork's sake!

No ^^...

Well, you'd at least get better speeds than either using an actual fork, at any rate.
