jcarle Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I just thought it could be interesting if we compared internet connections.

CoffeeFiend Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 jcarle: videotron extreme? That's pretty much what I get with them too. Just discovered they've got an ever faster service (extreme plus - up to 20mbit), but either ways the extreme is fast enough, except for the upload, but then again the upload is hardly faster with the extreme plus (1mbit vs 900kbit) - and 80$/month is a little too much (I thought 65+tax was bad enough already).

clavicle Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Wow! What kind of connection are you on?My connection is a shared type over lan by my ISP. And my ISP has a total bandwidth of measely 4mbps. Consider this to be shared among more than a thousand users.I tell you, I am a previliged customer so I get this much bandwidth others get only 64kbps.Back here in India we are still in paleolithic age of internet speed. Though I pay around 15USD a month for this but you don't have a choice. @IcemanND, teamed up dialups are equally bad, one connection providing only 56kbps. Catch you all guys up a few years later.

That's why I'm staying with Extreme 10Mbit, unlimited bandwidth.Clavicle - ouch! a couple of teamed dial up connections might be better.work:Wow. OC3?
