My new ISP

[NavyRet]

Got cable internet today. Upped my speeds by a factor of 10:

I'm so happy

Crime Story? :lotpot:

I've been on cable too for the last couple of years and found it more economic, reliable and fast than the previous line connection, though nothing like the above speed.

But the trouble with higher speeds is that they're of little use when the hosts cap downloads anyway. Some other sites do too.

Man you have to be loving that. I'm on high speed DSR...I think that's what you call it ,it'd not cable although we may switch . Hope you enjoy your new connection FB

Someone answer me this: How come the ONLY time EVER that I see speeds faster then 2 megs per sec download is when I use one of those bandwidth test sites? Mine shows 16 megs download speed but I sure as heck never see that speed when I download ANYTHING from ANYWHERE... not from torrents... not from any filehost... nor from any website...

I am starting to suspect that the only sites that actually have those fast speeds.. are bandwidth test sites.

because b4e......where you download them from have limitations on speed or you do it at rush hours


I miss dial up and acoustic couplers.............NOT! lol

 

[Ch3vr0n]

hell yeah. 33.3k bit dialup modem speed ^^

All the file host sites cap downloads, but it's also due to the fact that you're d/l from Europe, across the ocean and half a continent with all the hops in between. Every hop slows it down. The bandwidth test uses the closest place to you that has the fastest ping. Try using the bandwidth test on a site in Europe or Asia - you'll see a significant drop in speed. I do see an awesome increase in web page loading, especially from Amazon as they load so much crap into each page.

I was joking with a friend my mobile carrier speeds are probably better than any ISP in India. I'm so wrong. :harhar:
