It's technically a cell, but it's made into a home phone with wifi.
The reason it's sad is that my cellphones 3G is way faster, but I only have 2gb bandwidth and I kill it!
Canadian cell plans suck donkey ****.




But apparently for no reason, my Internet at home doubled in speed without changing our plan. One day I'll be back....

Mine's not too bad ... when it stays up.

When it doesn't want to stay up, it drops out like every 2 minutes.

Makes posting kinda difficult.  Actually it makes everything kinda difficult.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. 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

I could have competed for terrible connections until I moved a few weeks back, about 300kb/s downloads on average with it dropping to 150kb/s during peak hour or bad weather. Luckily my new place is like 500m from the DSL exchange (I checked on every place I looked at haha) so I get 1.4MB/s max download speed now. Haven't had any issues with peak hour either, last couple of nights I've been watching college football in 720p or NFL network in 1080p without a bit of stutter.

So nice to finally have something decent, in the last 10 years I've only had a connection like this at one of the 7 places I've lived in.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Interesting thing. When baldgye made his post I typed up a response to it mentioning a 9600 baud modem but obviously didn't follow through with it. Now I'm reading about 9600 baud dial-up.

That would increase our pricing by at least 1k yen (10 bucks) assuming we're not paying for it ourselves.

I have the worst internet probably, not because of speed, but because of reliability.

When it works, it's amazing; however, it would go offline for many hours at a time (down for 3-4 hours after 6 pm during an important business decision, a competitive match of CSGO, or before a major assignment deadline is not too farfetched).

I've had many, over 5 techs, visit the house over 15 times to fix it, and every time they're here, this is what they see, and tell me there's no problem. It has gotten progressively better, but the problem still persists once in a while.



So if my internet isn't the worst on GH, I really don't know what is, because reliability is probably the most important thing to me, as long as it isn't too slow.

No dude,  you don't have any problems at all..

Think about it...  let's say you want to download Something.. your total possible bandwidth usable in a MONTH still exceeds that of lower connections even if those lower connections are up 100% of the time.
