2075kbs down / 244kbs up

fast enough for me.

and that for 0.0 euro (parents pay it :smiley: )

that testpage isn’t very worthfull for me, since it is halfway around the globe almost… in California…and I am in Sweden…

I have seen speeds up to 2 Megabyte/sec. when I downloaded files from a swedish server…but the limit should stay at 1.2 Megabyte/s or something (yes…I am not talking about 1.2 Megabit !) :stuck_out_tongue:

You darn swedes and your cheap bandwidth! :stuck_out_tongue:

Well the thing I’m happy about is, unlimited bandwidth for downloading. :slight_smile: No monthly 2 gig download, but just unlimited which I really like, never problems you got disconnected for 1 week or pay a bill because you played half life 2 and downloaded a bunch of music, movies, games or game packs. Well for so long If I can host a blender multiplayer game server, I’m happy with it. :smiley:

At uni, I managed to get a download of 800kBytes/sec=6.4Mbps from a dual oc3 server.

Stole as much porn as I could muahhaha. Apparently the uni has to pay for what they use rather than do a one off fee. I overheard one of the admins saying they had a rather hefty bill.

Since I graduated, I just got a 256k up and down. It’s enough for me really. I would love that sweet deal you’ve got though Eric. I wish someone would hurry up and invent wormholes. Then my 50m ethernet cable would get all the way to Sweden.

Mind you, I could just hop into Sweden and I wouldn’t need porn.

Same here, finally got boradband about a month ago… Same speed as you… :smiley:

In Mid-USA, I live in a rural area. We have wireless with 768kb up and down. It is way better than our 28k dialup before!

I got DSL last week, love it…the fastest download so far has been 350KBps…I have a question for everyone: what connection you have(dsl/cable/etc) and how much you pay? I think I’m(along with most NYers) over payng: $29.99 a month…btw what kind of program would I need to know the maximum bandwith?

congrats.
finally you can do the apt-get update then :wink:

I’m going to be stuck with dialup until I move. Since I live in a remote little town, the only faster connection available is wireless.

what’s that?

It’s a much easier, more convenient way of updating things…

I have 1.5mbps DSL and pay about $60 a month, but that also includes phone service and such…

I have 1.5mbps DSL and pay about $60 a month, but that also includes phone service and such…[/quote] If I include the phone bill, it comes to ~$80…I got a special offer tho: 3.0mbps at the same price as 1.5mbps…
btw, cable service here is $29.99 for 6months then ~$60(that doesn’t include cable tv, another $50). Another question: what was the largest file anyone downloaded with dial-up? I downloaded a 128MB patch for BFV…

well they do say that pornography is the number one thing the net is used for…they also say the swedes are the bes…muffled noises…

Alltaken :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

when I did a fresh install of Ubuntu (debian based distro) on my second system, my install speed was about 1 Megabyte/sec. :stuck_out_tongue:

that’s nice…considering 10Mbit/s has topdownload at about 1.2 Megabyte/sec.

now…shall I pay one time fee of 45 Euro for upgrade to 24/1 mbit/sec. :wink: ?

and then same cost per month as I have now :slight_smile:
