More like 11 now? Razz

uhm, yeah At dial-ups, there was a time wherein i wasn't able to open my email add and it was like almost 2 hours.. Sux big time! Don't wanna remember my experiences with 'em. Used to rent at cafe's just to do my projects. And I was like, "what's the use of our internet at home?" errrr...

Thanks to new technologies..

I was just on holiday up at the Gold Coast (beautiful holiday destination in Australia), came on the net using my cell phone to check my emails have a chat to some friends on MSN and make sure everything was living here.

My emails are going along innocently in the background syncronizing, I've completely forgotten about them, then a couple of hours later I think, fuck how much is this costing me, I come back online and look it up...$4 per megabyte!

Look at outlook, 16mb of emails were sync'd.

Got some nice speed from the connection but good lord, my phone bill is way too high now >_<

soo
i finally got the modem deliver buy some old guy that realllly looked like he enjoys his job
anyways connection speed is now......

down 19440kbps
up 1023kbps

so yea. not quite full speed, but i am definatly not complaining

248kb/s DSL (weird number) it sucks thought, cuts out alot etc. Im the maximum distance you can be from the switching station :\.

It would be 256k except expressed without the overheads. Good marketing tactic as alot of people complain about not getting the entire marketed speed.

ive been on dial-up for 9 or 10 years, I tried to get Wifi last year but there was a stupid hill in the way that blocked the signal, only needed 3meters in height to get reception too
speed was going to be 256kbps which at the time was the same as the fastest 'BB' you could get

I've got a 2mbit/512kbit. Pretty slow

56 kbps .. slowest here i guess

T3! j/k hehehe seriously speaking, im on a dialup hahaha with 16kbps waaaa freakin plan is way too expensive here.

having 2048bit up / 192bit down adsl connection, and i am heavily satisfied with it.

sometimes the slow upload rate sucks, but when there's a big bunch of data to upload i'm going to the university, having 100mbit connection

i wish i had a connection like where i work at, theyre on T3 i think...freakin downloads are just a snap

Its always nice to have a quick connection until you get all the flatmates using programs like azureus on it 24/7 and have to keep dropping their connection

I've got DSL6k:
6048kbit/s down 768kbit/s up. tried using it as a webserver via dynDNS but damn, my damn isp disconnects me every 24h and they've already phoned me, and told me to throttle my 24/7 uploading. hmm we'll see

i have no idea how fast this is, it is pretty fast, i think 10mb/sec or 100mb/sec, i am in school
it is so fast, i don't see the documents loading... *rush*
