What type of internet do you have and how fast is it?
« on: Sat, 21 November 2015, 16:23:38 »
I just realized I am paying a crap load for internet (~80 bucks a month for AT&T HSI Elite + home phone) and speeds are really slow (in my opinion)...

At&T hsi elite is advertised to be 3.1 Mbps - 6 Mbps download and 512 Kbps - 1 Mbps Uplod.

I am only getting 5Mbps download speed and .65Mbps, is this slow?

Should I look into switching providers?

It'd be cool if some of you can chime in on your speeds! http://www.speedtest.net/ to test your speeds!

The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Enjoy.

Thanks TIL I learned my internet is garbage...  :-X

For reference, I paid ~40-45$ a month for 5mbps up/128-256kbps down from comcast ~12 years ago  :))

How do they block ports through a VPN? That's an encrypted tunnel.

I've got AT&T business U-Verse 24/6, about $90/mo. with static IP. It's pretty nice.

Well through vpn, they're not looking out for ports,   they just throttle my upload all together, when they see a sustained rate..

Last time I checked they have 100mbps also but it's not available in my apartment building, costs $250.

Not gaming at all these days, well maybe Hearthstone sometimes, so I decided to just stick with 50. It's fast enough for download and streaming.

We Brits do ok for broadband in the right regions. I have 150meg down 10 meg up £38 per month no usage cap.
Which provider? And where you are?

Virginmedia. In the West Midlands not too far from Birmingham.
I'm jealous now :(

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Yeah, but you're in Europe and connected to everything.

Down here we're not connected to anything (except New Zealand).

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

50Mbps download and 30Mbps upload, paying R$ 91/month (that's ≈ $24 by today's exchange rate). I believe it is ADSL over optical fiber, although it may not have this name. Whatever, I don't work on IT for almost 10 years now...

Cable: 30 Mbps DL, under 3 Mbps UL. $73 CAD/month. 300GB monthly cap but my ISP doesn't charge for overages at this time, so it's semi-unlimited.

5 is quite slow, I wouldn't settle for less than 20.

I had your same problem but comcast sent me a new modem that could handle faster speeds. I would contact them and see if you can get a replacement, they do charge a monthly few for the old one until you send it back though. I'm getting around 175mb/s download and about 12mb/s download now.

Cable, 100 down, 10 up, but it's actually more like 50 down, 5 up. 40€ / month, but it includes modem, digibox, tv access and other services.
