Mines running pretty slow today, normally nearer 80

**skeet2331** · 05-24-2009, 10:31 AM

Pretty average for me.

I wouldn't use comcast, they'll sell you out if they think your DLing the wrong things. Don't they have a monthly limit too? I can't support a company who would help make things like this more popular.

Yeah well it's comcast or dial-up. DSL sucks around my area so I don't have much of a choice. Hate monopolies. And yes they have a 250gb monthly download limit. It won't be long until all cable companies enact the limit I'm sure just like satellite companies do.

Upload is unusually low, usually around 1.2 area

250 Gee's? What? not for me I Easily pull 1-1 1/2 tera's a month, and have not once been "sold out"... but yeah I know of a friend that was through them

Currently in the lead for UP, and pretty far from the rest for that matter

haha just thought i'd point that out (just waiting for someone with a seed box to blow me away hahaha)

Screw all of you. Screw you right in your ears!

I live in broadband hell.
The local telephone company has a monopoly on anything with a wire, and they are ridiculously expensive. $325/mo for 1.5mbit down/512k up

In most markets, you can get a full-bore T-1 for that!

I get a better value through radio-based DSL, but it's still slow.

Farquing monopoly.

OMG!!... Ha..haha wow dude that sucks, at&t ftw right there you should just get a phone plan and use its 3G...

**Tidder** · 05-24-2009, 07:14 PM

Uhh... most all 3g data plans have a monthly transfer cap... wouldn't work all that well in a biz enviro. You'd rack up the extra charges quick.

IF I need some bandwidth in a pinch, I'll use my work aircard.
It's Verizon, but it works.
As long as I don't go over the 5GB monthly cap, it's all good.

That's the only thing that prevented me from going that route when I moved here.
Every major carrier has a cap: Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, and regional carriers as well.
