There's 2 types of internet's out there, the Internet1, which is what all of you use and it's relatively slow because a lot of the connections are dumbed down between slow routers and connections (dial up). Then there's Internet2, which is comprised of mega super lines of internet that are all over 9000 and such. Basically you get amazing download speeds. I took this test during the day while the connection was under a huge load from everyone at my university, but check this out...

i'm sorry to say that i am a lower person because my internet is slower >_>
no, really, i dont have a choice, comcast is all they have here and THEY KEEP THROTTLING ME!!
i'l be streaming or d/l'ing, and it will either stop streaming, or go from d/l of 1.3MB/s to 50kb/s to 25kb/s, to 30kb/s
to be blunt: :censored: comcast
even when the fcc gave them the boot, they continue to do it! news as of last week was that they're gonna make people's internet :censored: up to 20 minutes slower for 'overusers'
we pay for our intarnets, i dont want it slowed down

I just downloaded TF2 off steam in 4 minutes :w00t: (1.7 gigs)

Lol my school must be really cheap then as we have like 200 pc connected to the internet and when like 10 are on the net is laggy lol, nd when most are on its almost impossible to look around the web. Hopefully when i go to uni in two years they will have imba web there too =P
Edit: Btw here is my home net with three pcs on the net atm

Probably over a million dollars worth of startup costs, my college IS my ISP, as in everyone here is connected through them directly (don't go through the roads and such to get to the isp)
-
some people's connections aren't very fast...
i say free internet2, super awesome modems, and 802.11n capable routers (mine being apple's airport extreme) for everyone! FREE FOREVER
Probably over a million dollars worth of startup costs, my college IS my ISP, as in everyone here is connected through them directly (don't go through the roads and such to get to the isp)
which probably has a lot to do with it (duh..)
and they don't throttle and slow things down and tier services, right?
(despicable comcast..)

That's called a Backbone, the connection goes directly to the provider and connects to their Servers without any other thing between it, therefore hella fast. We could get a Backbone in our House as well, but it would be 200+€ a Month or so.

why are my numbers rather good in comparison to some here?!?! i literally have THE worst ISP D:
-
tiscali are worst than comcast. i have slightly higher speeds than matt due to it being nildram, which i suppose must be a part of tiscali (nildram is a buissness internet company).
-
comcast is terrible, and employee in california yelled at an old guy to get out of his car so he could kick his ass, the service is bad,
they throttle, they will stop it alltogether, they give faulty boxes, they cap total limit, they require a SSN even when you're chagning somthing small and attribute it to the patriot act (which violates basically all of our 5th amendment rights), their repair service is slow (a tree fell on our cable a few weeks ago, took them 3 days to get out and fix it; back home we had somthing similar: landscapers accidentally cut our cable, same day someone fixed it), they're the only option around here, and even when the FCC says STOP, they turn around and sue, and they're still gonna do it by slowing down 'heavy users' by up to 20 minutes (to load 1 webpage!!! we pay more to get it faster dammit! dont start slowing us down because we using the speed and bandwidth we are paying for!!)
i've been throttled by them and its a pain
how bad is yours? cause seriously.. comcast sucks...
i think i only get those numbers over our wireless because im using 802.11n out of our airport extreme...
-
Mines not throttled at all, nothing affecting my speed, just the wires between my house and BT.
SUKKOR.
-
ok, comcast are worse than tiscali. tiscali still suck though.
im gonna make a new campaign. INTERNET2 FOR EVERYONE! [munch voice] SHPEED UPSH TO THE PEOPLESH[/munch voice]
i love that game...
