Post by: Shade on September 25, 2006, 07:23:01 am: I've watched Star Wreck enough times to actually get *some* finnish, but that there's above my head. Best I could make out, you're getting faster internet... is that in the ballpark at least? If not, please explain in a language that's not utterly incomprehensible :p

Post by: Fury on September 25, 2006, 07:31:31 am: Basically yeah. Three biggest finnish ISP's are preparing to offer VDSL2 connections in current ADSL price range starting next year. Initially VDSL2 will only be available in the biggest cities but no doubt rest of the country will follow soon enough, at least the parts where ADSL is currently available.

You learned finnish by watching Star Wreck over and over again? :wtf:

In any case, I'm content with my 8M/1M connection. For now.

Post by: Lt.Cannonfodder on September 25, 2006, 11:31:55 am: Well, yea. Around 100k/s up is a bit too low, but good enough most of the time.
