Doesn't count if it's not to Ft Worth. :)

That is a very solid upgrade though. :aok

Any greybeards remember the transition from 300bps to 9600bps then to ludicrous speed? The time frame from mans first powered flight to his landing on the moon is very similar. A very slow start and then BAM!

I go in at 9600 when it first came out.  Trying to remember next was 13.2k, then 52k?

The Internet provider at that time is still around offering the 52k but is small business now.  They used to be very arrogant when they were the only provider.

Taking that task - here is the result.  Not too bad actually - much better than my old DSL anschluss.  Slighter better ping too

I remember using external 1200 baud modem for the 1-800# bbs's then amazed when I found a 9600 baud cheap

I don't recall seeing anything in the mail, nor has my bill gone up, but my net has. :D


Same here... nothing noted on a bill but download speed has doubled.

That is a solid ping there.  I get around 130-150 myself when connecting to EU servers on Euro Truck Simulator 2 Multiplayer (I choose the EU server due to numbers. :D).  Really not as bad as some folks think. :)

Yeah, I'm not complaining. :D  I pay it a few months ahead.  When my July bill comes, I'll be upping my net.  Hope they have 300 by then, but at the very least it will be upped to 200. :aok
