And I use it for music/downloads as well as browsing and online play (Battlefield 1942).

Post by: J.F.K. on April 30, 2003, 09:21:01 am: Fair enough... I'd probably do that too if all my connections didn't time out. I spend all my bandwidth on downloading Matrix trailers... yeah, and multiplayer, that too. Bah, if it wasn't so darn expensive over here, I'd get it. Why are we so backwards?! :sigh:

Eh... It varies, usually I'm faster then the server so they slow ME down. Normally its the other way around :p

Title: What connection do you have ?
Post by: Odyssey on April 30, 2003, 10:27:19 am: Free Terran, you need to put the 'Other' option into polls. Not everyone falls neatly into that list. Take, for example, me. 64k Single-line ISDN. Not much better than a 56k, except it's around twice as fast on average because of the reliability surrounding digital. And it doesn't use up the phone line :) I would get ADSL or something, but I live in a backwards area of a fairly backwards country (england), so... No availability. It'd be cheaper than this ISDN, too :'(

Title: What connection do you have ?
Post by: Odyssey on April 30, 2003, 10:32:41 am: It's okay, I'm just saying, in future polls you can list the major types, as you have here, then add an 'other' option so that people like me with irregular stuff can slot in. You don't necessarily need to list everything every time. There isn't enough space.
Title: What connection do you have ?
Post by: Fineus on April 30, 2003, 10:49:42 am: Erm, it's just a question... but my next system has enough hard drive space to store the internet on it... what kind of connection would you call a system that doesn't take any time to download anything because no real downloading takes place? Heck - even the file planet ques are gone.

Post by: CP5670 on April 30, 2003, 12:02:35 pm: 1500/128k cable. I would like something better (especially since the upstream is terrible, used to be 384 a long time ago but was cut to 128 when @home went out of business) but I cannot get anything else in this area.

I guess if I need to download or upload something really big I could go to my dad's workplace and use the double OC10 there, but I obviously can't use it on my home computer, so it is useless for gaming.

1 T3 = 44Mbps downstream, dunno upstream.

Mind you that this double T3 is slightly less cause its hooked up the TCO's works network. i'd say its 1.75*T3 :D

Title: What connection do you have ?
Post by: Tiara on April 30, 2003, 02:39:40 pm: Its [size=23652346234]FREE[/size] :D

TCO's work has the conn. Were just hooked up to that. Normally its about $10k/month I believe.

EDIT: Starts at $10,000/month for the 45 Mbps. Local loops range from $2,000 - $4,000/month.

this is PER T3
