Cant wait for 100Mb NBN here in Aust
Stop waiting, it's going to be shit.
So much optimism...
Its not a case of will it or will it not be shit! Its a case of will it or will it not get built?
shit in one hand and wish in the other. telstra won the bid for their own lines, so a few more decades of shit infrastructure for Australia (YAY!). and if we do get better internet most download sites are excessively slow for free users and bittorrenting is hours of searching for what you want and finding out that it's being leeched by 4 million people and seeded by 3 people at like 10kb/s.
We were lucky in NZ, recently the govt took away telecoms monopoly, now we can get upto 24mbit yay, though the upto doesnt mean much, im happy with the 15mbit I get though ^^
100 MB/s its a bit of waste, since the highest i got on a download is about 8 mb/s.
I recommend 24 mb/s.
100 mb/s was the only choice we could choose of 2: 100/10 or 100/100 (down/up)
My connection is slowish because I live in a rural area :(
me too
same here, it sucks living out of range of anything decent. There is always satellite internet but its just so damn expensive.
Same
Same, one of the only problems living in the country side, everything else is good...just not the internet speed ='[
I had dial up until a month ago it was all I could get where I live. But now I have a wireless broadband connection and im happy with it 4Mb, its about as good as you can get in Ireland.
your lucky in rural wales best i get is 100kbps. sux
I use wireless internet too because im in a rural area average is 20-40kb/s its sooo slow its impossible to dl anything
same here. 512 kbps..... real shit.
Yeah I also have a very slow connection. But I live in the city. Internet in South Africa is horrifically slow and expensive
Yeah same. It's ok for playing on the internet like tf2 or hl2dm. But if another computer go on the network, well it's just like good old dial-up again.
I got average speed for where I am.
adsl2+ on the papers, in real life i get the half of the speed ....
in general you only get about 50% on optimum... its weird why they even label it double that, always feel like your cheated hey
mostly i got between 12mb - 20mb
Recently moved to 5 mb, before I had a 1 mb ... As I heard max speed on our cable is 12 MB =(
In here I only have 1MB and a WLAN modem that doesn't work with Steam. Ihate it >:(
But I'm moving soon and there I'll have 10 MB :D
On paper ADSL2+ but reality looks different. In terms of Internet connection my country still sucks because of the monopoly of Swisscom. Up stream is like 10% of down stream and other non-funny speed lock-downs imposed. The speed would be there but you don't get it... pfft <.=.<
I love on a mountain so there is no good internet around here :(. 1MB Speed :(.
So you love on a mountian.
So you love on a mountian
So you love on a mountain.
I sware I saw a movie about that somewhere... I think it had something to do with a broken back..
I like how "21st century" and "modern day" are different choices. ;)
I'm on an 8MB package, but the actual top speed we get this far from the exchange is 5MB.
I'm on an 8mb package I think. They keep upgrading it for free so I don't know entirely.
My speed is ancient.. I am using Wiis internet browser!
the descriptions are off. modems were standard until the 21st century. It wasn't until ~2000-2001 that broadband started to become the norm,and that was only in cities. I'm pretty sure, stats wise, modems still are majority of internet connections.
depends on where you live. This is about right for Aust
Adsl, not so good but enough ;p
i am supposed to have 3.2 mb/s but im stuck with 100kb/sec
same -_-
I just got 20 mb/s download and 1 mb/s upload
Advertised as 20Mb/s downstream...but it's never that fast.
Are you sure its advertised as 20mb/s. If it's like most companies in the US, then it's advertised as "UP TO" 20mb/s, meaning they don't really have to honor the 20mb/s, or get anywhere close. Gotta love the tricky marketing lingo.
lol a week ago i had 30KB/s now i have 3MB/s :D:D:D::DD==D=D=D=D=D=D=D
cool...
i still have 1.5 mbs. but it downloads at 40 to 150 kbps.
most of the reason why i get a slow speed is because the servers i connect to are foreign and i get pushed down to 256kb max
but my local speed (Aussie servers) is 1.0 mbs and even then thats rare that i get above 800 kbs
i HATE you telstra
We were on a 1mb plan and were getting 1.2mb. Now we're on a 2mb plan and getting 928kb...
100 mb/s :D alot more then i need, but that were the only thing to choose from that company and cheaper then 10 mb/s for prew on
0,5 mb, I think. Is it 512k?
because of the monopoly of telkom that provides our DSL, we dont have anything spectacular, lack of competition means no need to upgrade the infrastructure, we however recently upgraded to 8mb due to the requirement for the 2010 world-cup, though im not on DSL, i got radio link-up, 256K lol
10MB connection. Enough right now I'd say.
Woops I voted the wrong one.
It's Megabits right not byte? -_-
I hate the bits/bytes difference, f**k you internet companies, f**k you!
I mean, when you download, you download in Mega BYTES per second, not bits, why call it bits except to boost sales by misleading people, you ***holes!
