I am the same. The more you get used to higher speeds, the less tolerant you get. I remember when it was normal to wait for a page to load when using a browser. That would now drive me insane. I can not even deal with it on my phone.

Mobile internet... just kill me...
Speed is like a drug, alcohol or nicotine addiction the more you get the more you need! Having the fastest connection and losing it is worse than never having it at all, for me anyhow.
The only problem with Comcast is you can't get good torrent speeds because of the active throttling on anything Torrent.Thats why I only torrent at night. Lately I haven't been torrenting anything since the guy I usually torrent from hasn't uploaded any more seasons of dbz. Got to the end of Trunks and am waiting x.x
I feel bad for kids in areas where there's only comcast, and they want to torrent.
It not only throttles the connection, but it adds tremendous latency doing so.
I was getting 1000ms ping in-game while torrenting.. but on fios, at worst it's 130ping on the same server.
How slow is too slow? It's too slow if you have to pause for a stream to load on YouTube/Netflix/etc.

what? why?
i pay for 30/30 so i am impressed Verizon has thrown in the extra 10/10 for the last year

but what is intolerable?
sprint data, everything about it.
no 4G love in virginia and barely any 4G coverage when i go on trips to dc and atlanta where i need to tether.
anything below 1Mbit on a phone is intolerable and too slow
anything below 5Mbit on a desktop is intolerable and too slow
anything below 30Mbit is too slow for leeching stuff

ha, had similar up/down speeds with COX last year before i left the DC area. Was paying for 25Mbit and was getting well over 110Mbit down, i never complained lol, leeching was fun at that speed. Cable internet has improved significantly over the last few years. i remember only getting 15Mbit in atlanta only 4 years ago.
feel sorry for anyone getting less than 30.....
wtf really? if you actually utilized the 100 though, they'd prob catch on pretty quick.
agreed on VPNs being good no matter what, but they can still see your bandwidth usage and throttle you if you overuse.wtf really? if you actually utilized the 100 though, they'd prob catch on pretty quick.
i always use a SSL L2TP/IPSec VPN to avoid any sort of traffic monitoring and it seemed to work because for the year i was in the DC area i didn't get one complaint/letter/notice from COX and Verizon has never said anything either. could be just luck but VPN is a good idea no matter what you do on the web.
for those complaining about throttling, do u even cheap vpn service? i pay less than 10 extra bucks a month for vpn with tons of different exit nodes.
I prefer to have at least 3 to 5 MBps down, at least 1 up for average use.Generally you get throttled for torrenting because it exhibits specific traffic patterns. If that's all coming down through one connection (your VPN) rather than a bunch of concurrent connections (direct connection to peers) then it doesn't look like torrent traffic to your ISP.for those complaining about throttling, do u even cheap vpn service? i pay less than 10 extra bucks a month for vpn with tons of different exit nodes.
I thought VPN could only hide WHAT you were downloading... not IF you're downloading?
Packets sent and received, whether encrypted or not, are still packets / data.
i guess i have just been lucky :-X

AFAIK most ISPs don't throttle VPN traffic specifically but that can fall under overuse restrictions, like if you're downloading a ton at once or you have a soft cap on your connection.
You can't go to jail for pirating. It is a civil crime.i guess i have just been lucky :-X
now we've jinxed it, enjoy prison and your 3 square meals a day, exercise facility, and psychiatric hardening...

Informative, thanks sth.
I still think it would be logical for big companies like Verizon to ONLY worry about how much data is being used.
If you think about it from a business perspective, it would cost much more effort / man hours to decide whether or not the large volume of data being downloaded was legal or not...
they can't prove it if you're encrypted and your vpn provider doesn't play. that doesn't mean you won't still get throttled.I prefer to have at least 3 to 5 MBps down, at least 1 up for average use.Generally you get throttled for torrenting because it exhibits specific traffic patterns.

Flip -- you're not wrong, and normally that's all they care about. Copyright law is a big part of what sets precedents for monitoring and throttling of specific traffic patterns, but any users saturating their connections (especially with a bunch of concurrent connections instead of one) are subject to inspection / throttling if it hurts the rest of the subscribers.
Clear loooooooooooooooooooooooves throttling based on traffic type / packet inspection but going through a VPN they hardly bat an eye.
Wow I feel really dumb right now.LMAO!

those were the old days, when you are poor and feel like it is the only option.
now i just stream tons of stuff and my wife goes crazy on itunes. it still eats a lot of traffic.
with all the HD streaming services like netflix, amazon, hulu, spotify, hbogo, pandora, etc i havent seen a need to do that stuff
plus you got steam and other game stuff, when i had a fresh install i found myself downloading 150GB of just game stuff in just a couple days times.

is there a streaming service yet that does full bitrate blurays...
I buy CDs then download them as flac via torrents :P I'm lazy like that.

but... what? why? There's no way your computer can't convert the CD in the time it takes to "find + download" the disk.
I mean.. it'd have to be a really really slow computer
It doesn't ever get fast enough. Whatever you got, you probably want more. Isn't that human nature?

doesn't count if your ISP runs a speedtest server or peers with someone who does :P
Either you've got a sucky optical drive or something's set up wrong. A typical CD takes about 3-4 minutes to rip here, and that's with read speed limited to 24X (the minimal saved time at 32X never is never worth additional wear and noise). EAC using AccurateRip + CTDB, so assuming everything's fine I can use burst mode and get a perfectly fine rip. Occasionally I'll have to re-rip a track or two in secure mode, but that doesn't take ages either.but... what? why? There's no way your computer can't convert the CD in the time it takes to "find + download" the disk.

About 2-3 minutes to "find+download". Like 10-15 minutes to rip from CD.
