Finally. Decent Internet Speed

Living away from the large urban centers has both good and bad points. For me, more good than bad. One thing that has always ticked me off is the internet. I like speed and if I had my way and cost was no issue, I would have an OC3 or T4 in my house. Right.

Anyway, we did get some upgrades and I am now content with 16Mbps Down and 768kbps Up. Not bad for the Arctic. This should keep me happy for a while.

    Congrats Michael. I have 12MB down 1MB up which is the fastest available here, someday we will all be like Sheradp and have lightning fast speed :p

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Cable company which is owned by the local phone company. ADSL is not available for residential.

    Hey Sherardp,


    I heard Japan's 1gig is lite, like not really 1gig but more like 56k or something.



































































































































































































    Just kidding, and really just a little jealous, but not sure if my credit card payment really matters if there in 1ns or 3ms. ;)

    What determines upload speed, Im only getting like 40-45 meg up. If my fiber line is setup for 100meg should it being doing more, download is where it's at though. Any thoughts?

    It's 20/2 here for cable, hopefully fiber is coming from Verizon. I'm cheap and downgraded to 12/1 which bursts at around 20/1. (The 20/2 bursts to 30).

    I just don't game or download as much as I used to.

    Epson 8350 Projector/ Elite Screens 120" / Pioneer Elite SC-35 / Sunfire Signature / Focal Chorus 716s / Focal Chorus CC / Polk MC80 / Polk PSW150 sub

    Bedroom - Sharp Aquos 70" 650 / Pioneer SC-1222k / Polk RT-55 / Polk CS-250

    Den - Rotel RSP-1068 / Threshold CAS-2 / Boston VR-M60 / BDP-05FD

    Well you're right about download vs. upload speed, but.... I all depend's on what you're doing with upload. Sending large emails out, uploading webpage’s then upload is what’s important also.
