Speed test today.....

[Charvelx04]

Mine for the time being...

We have another company coming in with fiber optic... but they need permission from our building owner to put it in. Can't even get a price from them until that's resolved. I know they offer 1Gb (similar to what we're using now) and then, 2Gb Up/Dw... 5Gb Up/Dw. Doubt the wife will let me get the 5, but 2 sounds really nice. And.. I'd have to update my NIC since my board only supports 1Gb. My kid's computer supports 2.5Gb.

These guys and their Fibre X did directional drilling, horizontally about 4 feet deep from over 1/2 a block away and somehow manage to keep in a straight enough line to hit a hole they dug in the front lawn that was "maybe" a little more that a Foot wide, at best. Quite the technology. Once here, were able to directional drill, curving under my cement driveway and hitting a small hole beside the cement wall of the basement.

I'm not in the US...so those mean bugger all to me....we have BT, Virgin (on the ridiculous), talktalk, the one I'm on, most of the mobile phone companies offer their own etc etc....I pay £35 a month for my internet..no home phone, I use my mobile as my home phone.

Not in the US either, Canada

I'll try the Fibre X probably around Christmas.
I'll go with the 3G, and speed things up.

Virgin Media package: 350mb broadband, maxit tv, land line, hub 5, tv 360 box for £34 per month (I pay my sister £24 per month for it)

I know about virgin on the ridiculous because I left them years ago and their utter failure to sort out all the drop outs we suffered and the funny thing is....they still haven't sorted out the drop outs and they said I owed them, which I didn't. I refused to pay the bill because I was having so many issues with them and I told them that too. However, like most corporate companies they ignore the users issues as long as they get their money. They're a joke.

Meanwhile in 'lil ol' Australia, the internet is so close to dead that speed testing is no longer necessary... Enjoy your rocket ship speed folks!
