My dad told me today I'm getting a new internet connection, and I was wondering what everyone else had, right now I am on a 4000/400 (kbps) and I am getting upgraded to a 20,000/400 (kbps) in 9 days!! We're getting it for an extra $20/month and basically my dad was convinced to move to this new package as we also get Digital TV (we're running freeview right now to save money) but we also get SIXTY PERCENT off cellular phone calls, which right now we're paying $60 for them alone so we'll save $40/month on phone bills :D We just have to hide that part from the person who makes those huge bills :laugh: Sooo yay, I can download like holy llamas now! :D

Sounds like a good deal.

I'm on 24,000/1000 :)
I used to host my own cs server... it held 12 people with no lag :p

I'm running on a cable connection where they only expect people to download so upload is very low, I personally want to move to Pulse gaming but it will cost $250 to get an analogue phoneline again to run it and then the $60/month for the 8000/800 internet connection which a 5:1 contention which is extremely low and great for gaming :P

pretty low :P lol apparently in France the average is about 24,000/2,000 which is daaamn good, enough to stream HD content to your PC :D which is what they do, tons of online tv services in France, mainly Paris, nowadays.

That's lucky.

I use the fastest Internet AT&T offers, which is about 6-8.5 Mbit/s download, and like 500Kbit/s upload.

So that is 7000/500 lol for like $50 a month.

My fastest downloads are in the 800KB/s and I have uploaded torrents in the 70-80 KB/s.
:laugh:

Faster than mine is! lol. I have to get my Cable Line upgraded before I can get my 20mbit.. and paying something like.. $90/month for all of it... but we only use the internet (and the phone... damn brother.) That upload seems more like 800kbit btw :P

I had AOL dial up, we used it for one month of the 2month trial then they charged us $800 despite cancelling it. I'm still pissed off about it.
