gleem · 08-28-2011, 07:06 AM

Holy shit, wish I had that upload speed. do they cap your max Downloads or uploads for the month?

V_RocKs · 08-28-2011, 07:12 AM

Lonny · 08-28-2011, 09:49 AM

fuck that sucks all I can get is charter in this area and those speeds are Up To 12megs.

I'm lucky to get past 3 megs and that's on a good day.
Fucking SBC.

With the Direct T.V bundle it cost 180 or
so a month - 29.00 with internet saving my ass.

Might as well share the joy.

Changed providers recently, was faster before but limited to 125gb/month.. Now it's unlimited, so I'll take the slower speeds any day.

Upload speed is the same at both.

I pay $65/mo for internet + voip line now, with no chances of "overages"

Before it was $77/mo for internet, + $7 modem rental, + $50 overage, + $26 voip = $160

drmadcat · 08-28-2011, 11:30 AM

im sick to death of the shit internet here why is it so fucking slow in Australia
cummon

even on my htc desire on the best network in aus its
down 1.92mbps
upload 1.22mbps
ping 158ms

BlackCrayon · 08-28-2011, 11:50 AM

fucking rogers blows. what the hell is up with the upload?

anexsia · 08-28-2011, 11:52 AM

Anyone that has access to Verizon FIOs needs to get it NOW! I fucking love FIOS, the speeds are incredible and it's only gone down once for 10 minutes in the past year.

I called them... I noticed my bill had crept up to about $200 and some change... I made a post here about it... I am not always about the 2002 bumps...

Anyway... So I checked out their latest offer and it added a shitload of sweet channels and what not. Turns out my GF accidentally switched our long distance about 3 months ago to someone else... So now we were able to get a "new" customer bundle again. $74.99 or some shit for faster Internet, 75 channels including the Speed channel, Outdoors, Fishing, all the shit a man needs to brush up on being a man... (see my toothbrush thread)...

So yeah... I called them. Knocked about $50 off of my bill and gave me more channels and faster Internet... How does that work?

Crazier shit is the same day I get a call from DirecTV. They want me back and they will wave any and all fees, plus pay for my Verizon cancellation fee and give me a $25 a month credit for a year, plus DirecTV is giving away NFL package... So now I have to decided on doing all of that shit... I might drop the phone altogether and just have Internet.

epitome · 08-28-2011, 04:12 PM

Somebody I know who is a network architect at comcast and is working on the upgrade posted his 110mbps test/beta/whatever speeds to Facebook. If I recall, the up was 30+...can't remember that one.

Who knows how long it'll be until we get that in our homes though.

Edit:

In the meantime, this is all I get with them. FiOS isn't available here but I rocked it in MD where it was available:
