How fast is your home internet?
« Reply #30 on: July 11, 2007, 12:22:38 PM »
Actually, yes. Same reason I don't have a paid account, and I play the free games and offline. We're still making car payments, computer payments (yes, on a piece of junk Dell), electric bill, food, and medical bills. We can hardly afford the gas to drive to work. If it gets any higher, we won't be able to afford to drive even. And the bad part is, the gas is high because the gas companies won't lower the price, and George Bush is too stupid to make them like past presidents have. Same reason I do me own mechanic work, grow me own food, and fish and hunt. Money's tight, and hard to get.

That doesn't seem fast enough (large enough bandwidth) to be fiber optic. You might want to check something.

Anyone in a major city here with FiOS?  Been trying to get it in Boston to no avail yet, but at my sister's in the woods, they have it.

Haven't heard anything bad about it from users with whom I've spoken.

I've got nooooo idea about mine. That TxDad's job to worry about. I just say whether it's working fine or not, then he takes care of the rest. :D  Good little set up.

Where i live there is no DSL availible right now , so i use Skydsl,
surfing over Satellite.
Price is aprox 50€ month. download up to 24000 kbps,
upload speed is just ISDN, max. 128 kbps.
Skydsl is good for hughe downloads, but its nothing for online gaming,
the ping is to high. For gaming i use just ISDN.

sometimes 600MB in 2 minutes! :D
