I'm asking because in the past month or so many people have said they won't bother downloading "large" files. What they specify as large is quite different from what I would though(large = 200mb ). So how fast is your connection? Mine is 1.5mbit(~170kb/sec)Telus ADSL, and is dirt cheap in canada(the price of dialup). Kramy
Mr Icekirby Registered 18/12/2003 Points 846	15th March, 2004 at 16:43:55 - uh... well mine jumps all the time, it can go anywhere from 0 kb per sec to about 300 kb per sec... OMU is a local isp for the city of Owensboro... cheaper then AOL too Mr Icekirby says so! OBEY ME!
Kramy Registered 08/06/2002 Points 1888	15th March, 2004 at 16:50:58 - The cable where I live jumps from street to street. My street's line connects to one with heavy traffic, that pulls off a max of 34kb/sec.(which is why I have ADSL) I know someone across town that gets 680kb/sec though, all the time. Kramy

Cybermaze Registered 03/04/2003 Points 853	15th March, 2004 at 17:30:48 - Ive got a 2mbit/512kbit (down/up) ADSL connection supplied by a danish company (I live in Denmark). The ISP is called Cybercity. I cannot complain about the speed at all, even though I live in the country. The price is around £60 a month ... but then again ... Denmark is not known for its cheap internet suppliers . If you knew, I would have to kill you...

Mr Icekirby Registered 18/12/2003 Points 846	15th March, 2004 at 17:36:29 - haha $25 a month for me! Mr Icekirby says so! OBEY ME!
Kramy Registered 08/06/2002 Points 1888	15th March, 2004 at 18:07:32 - So everyone on the forums has fast connections? Hmmm....100mb/sec is a bit fast. That's a 765mbps connection - a nice OC line similar to something EBAY uses. Pete: Currency Convertor: http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi Your £21.99 is $52.93 Canadian, so my $24.95 is £10.37. Dirt cheap. Too bad prices were hiked from the old $16.95. Kramy
Grazzum - Scorpion E Registered 25/10/2003 Points 918	15th March, 2004 at 19:57:03 - I got a 1.5mb/second Connection, but usually only dls from 300 to 600 kbs n/a

NovaSoft{Dynecys} Registered 08/03/2004 Points 105	16th March, 2004 at 09:56:20 - 56k and proud, plus I can't afford it because unlike alot of folk I know with fast internet, mummy and daddy don't pay for it. I have to fork out the 17 quid a month for AOL and I'm only 16. Ah well, some folk get it easy... Viddy A ClockWork Orange, Droogs... Goddamn you to hell 'Newbie' DC Rating... Go up, UP DAMN YOU!
Herb Registered 24/02/2004 Points 264	16th March, 2004 at 11:02:00 - You can get at least 200kbps broadband for that £17. I have a 2mbit connection from BT btw. Edited by the Author. Quality.
- Yelnek - Registered 03/05/2003 Points 1016	17th March, 2004 at 10:21:59 - I have a 56k modem but it only connects at a 28,ooo connection...sucks really cause im lucky if I can pull 2.2KB/s on downloads... My parents are paying about 25 bucks canadian which I think is a rip off for we get only 20 freakin hours of use!?!?! We live in the country...hmmmmmm.... any way to get a faster connection for cheaper or the same or a litle more price? "I have dreamed a dream... But now that dream is gone from me."
Kramy Registered 08/06/2002 Points 1888	17th March, 2004 at 13:33:37 - If you lived in BC you could get ADSL for $25. I think Alberta and Ontario also have it, but I'm not sure about the other provinces. Hmm...you might be better off with AOL. Hey, it's slow, but with all those "6 months free" CD's you get, you'll never have to pay for it. Kramy
- Yelnek - Registered 03/05/2003 Points 1016	17th March, 2004 at 14:52:23 - Ya I live in Alberta... BTW, I have never recieved one AOL free cd thingy :S It kinda sucks Oh well right! Is ADSL for rural areas? "I have dreamed a dream... But now that dream is gone from me."
Kramy Registered 08/06/2002 Points 1888	17th March, 2004 at 15:08:51 - It's mostly in cities I think, but it's also in many small towns(2000-10000 people). How rural are you? Telus probably wouldn't stretch lines out 50km into the middle of nowhere, but you might as well check. http://www.mytelus.com/internet/highspeed/signup.do I heared that some people in the states get hundreds of AOL cd's every year. Wouldn't that be nice. Here we used to get 10 or so a year, but now they've stopped for some reason. Kramy
Joe.H Evil Faker Registered 19/08/2002 Points 3305	17th March, 2004 at 15:16:02 - 56k, which can be annoying sometimes, especially if some games look good but they're something like 20mb+. Usually downloads at 3-3.5kb/s My signature is never too big!!!
Kramy Registered 08/06/2002 Points 1888	17th March, 2004 at 15:22:03 - My old 56k connection downloaded at 5.4kb/sec. Now I realize I was lucky to get that. Edited by the Author. Kramy
Grazzum - Scorpion E Registered 25/10/2003 Points 918	17th March, 2004 at 16:36:09 - Mine was that speed too. n/a
Shen Possibly Insane Registered 14/05/2002 Points 3497	17th March, 2004 at 17:03:10 - Here, 578kbps broadband. At the uni (weekends) I get 10Mbps gone fishin'
Pete Nattress Cheesy Bits img src/uploads/sccheesegif Registered 23/09/2002 Points 4811	17th March, 2004 at 17:42:20 - kramy: that's not fair! anyway, if you live in britain you can blame BT for inflated broadband prices. they refused to modernize the lines before, but now everyone wants broadband they're having to do it, but they don't like to work for a pittance. i heard there's a government inititive to get the whole country ADSLd as we're so behind other european countries when it comes to broadband. www.thenatflap.co.uk
RapidFlash Savior of the Universe Registered 14/05/2002 Points 2712	17th March, 2004 at 19:15:08 - 56k with a V.92 modem. It's gone to about 112k once. And it's only about $8 a month. http://www.klik-me.com
Rycon Registered 20/09/2002 Points 996	18th March, 2004 at 19:14:21 - RapidFlash, that is impossible since the limit on a phone line is 56, going over that is agianst the law and causes static on the line even for people around you. I get 60kbs on a ADSL line. Edited by the Author. We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams...
Kramy Registered 08/06/2002 Points 1888	18th March, 2004 at 23:13:04 - RapidFlash: Hmmm...are you sure it's not ISDN? Dual-Channel ISDN(whatever that means ) is 128k, over 10kb/sec. Pete: Canada has ultra-fast Fibreoptic lines running all across it, unused. What's worse, not having it and wanting it, or having it and not using it? Kramy
tdc052621 Registered 20/12/2002 Points 908	19th March, 2004 at 13:19:25 - I have 356 kbs(34 kbs download speed) dsl.I used to have wireless cable modem but it wasnt fast enough and the upgrades werent very fast as dsl.I downloaded windows server 2003 trial in 3 hours and it was 600 mbs! n/a

tdc052621 Registered 20/12/2002 Points 908	20th March, 2004 at 00:00:57 - LMAO, i can tell you have dial up because that is how fast my connection was before i stopped using it. n/a
