How fast is your internet?

I hate this thread, now I have to upgrade our apartment's connection to cable. Oh well, at least I don't smoke, that's way more expensive.

Good lad! I've heard better reasons for not smoking, but I suppose this'll do...

"Cut down on the fags and booze and you'll afford faster internet!" I believe it would this one would be a hit for the ISP's :lol:
 
If you're talking about the reduced rate TW offers for their turbo service, J., I got the same deal when I first signed up with them last year and when the price was set to go up to its normal rate I didn't have too hard a time getting them to keep me at the same rate. I think they're more interested in keeping their subscribers than in making sure they're paying the full price. :lol:

That would be the one. He was very nice about it, too. You know it's sad when the technician pities you for your previous ISP choice. :lol:
:lol:

Good to hear you're with a decent ISP now.

I can live with that, it's enough for CoD and Halo: Reach - if my roomies don't go nuts with the HD streaming :D

Thanks! I'm so relieved to have something reliable and fast again! You know, if they have Netflix instant streaming, you can go into the control panel on their Netflix account and change the stream quality level. Just reduce it from HD to standard. Not only would it save half your bandwidth immediately, I bet they'd never know the difference.
 
If anyone from Open Range tries to get you to accept a free 30 day trial, scream incoherently, kick dirt on their shoes and slam the door. You will be saving $58 a month for the privilege.
Good looking out for your fellow Americans :techman:

That ISP needs to get wiped off the face of the earth.

Amen! To compare:

And keep in mind I'm paying the same price. TW told me "yeah, we can match that price" and sure enough, they did. They said it would stay this way for a year, and the tech told me that if I did a little bargaining at the end of the year, I could get the same rate, so I am happy with that!

Welcome to the World of 2000! I wouldn't worry too much about this Bush guy....Gore has it on lock. I mean...the largest peace-time expansion of the economy in American history? Who would vote against that?!?

Now you're just being cruel, Squig.
 
Makes me want to upgrade this instant! And where the heck is Sittingbourne and what's it doing serving London? :confused:

Its a small industrial town just east of london. Ten miles perhaps. Which is wierd because my vpn pings sittingbourne as well and my ip is based just outside Leads.
 
It must be one very busy place! I actually used to be very impressed with the speed when Virgin upgraded us from 2mb to 10mb! :lol:

I don't know. I like this Bush fellow's economic plan. I can only see clear skies and smooth sailing ahead!

:lol:

Now you're just being cruel, Squig.

Yeah, but I moved up to 2000 from 1994, so it's win/win! :lol:

J. knows I love him.

Yeah. :adore:
 
Yeah. I really wish they'd offer more upload capacity. I had better upload speeds when I lived in Romania!
