jcarle Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I just thought it could be interesting if we compared internet connections. If you want to post your speed in this thread, please post using http://www.speedtest.net/ and copy-pasting the forum link. Thanks.
CoffeeFiend Posted December 13, 2006 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).
ringfinger Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) HomeJust got an upgrade!! Work Edited May 1, 2007 by ringfinger
ringfinger Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Mine must be the slowest!!!!!!!!! Wow! What kind of connection are you on?
IcemanND Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Clavicle - ouch! a couple of teamed dial up connections might be better.work:
ringfinger Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Ohh... c'mon... didn't know work counted . I'll post mine tomorrow
IcemanND Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 jcarle didn't say which connection so I did both once I got logged onto my office system.
bahaha Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 SchoolIt could be faster by my dorm is wired with a 10mbit cat3 network.
ringfinger Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 jcarle didn't say which connection so I did both once I got logged onto my office system.I know... its all good
clavicle Posted December 13, 2006 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? Edited December 13, 2006 by jcarle
