A Little Announcement

[clocker]

I just got my cable connection hooked up yesterday and let me tell you, Comcast ROCKS!
After suffering with AOL DSL ( HA!) for the past year, this is just amazing.
Literally ten times faster than what I'm used to.
I've checked my speed twice today and both times it was over 3300Kb/s.
With AOL, on a good day I was lucky to break 300Kb/s.

Too bad I don't hardly DL stuff anymore...sure could have used this last year.

On a side note....I am off on an extended business/pleasure trip this evening.
While I am gone I expect all of you to act responsibly and be nice to VB.
My opportunities to check into the forum will be somewhat limited, but I shall when possible, so don't think that any bad behavior will escape unpunished.

Ciao.

lucky, my rogers cable connection was 3000\384, but then my parents got cheap and went for high speed light and i now get 128\56 :(:(:(cant wait till i get a job though!

edit:i wanted to add that my actual download speed i was getting was usually around 2800 (my area is hightech and not many people have to share the bandwith in my area :)) 2900 at nights.

edit 2: i found the real upload speed available from rogers.

u dl at 3.3 mb/s? wat kind of cable is that?

[SingaBoiy]

His d/l speed maxes out at about 415 kb/s. Mine is 450 kb/s :D My up is shitty as hell though.

my dl maxes out at like 300-350 kb/s. never seen anything stay over 300 for a long time

[_John_Lennon_]

my dl's max out at about 450 kb/s here with timewarner.

[SingaBoiy]

Off of good d/l sites like ZD Net i usually average out about 420 on good nights.

[hi_what_is_up!]

With leechget I've honestl seen stuff hover around 500k/s, I would post u/d specs but I don't know of a good site to test from.

[Dray_04]

on a good day i download things at 7kbs


lol :)

You guys actually use filesharing software?

[Mad Cat]

I fileshare all the damn time and I've only got 512/256 :(

You guys are lucky, I'd be getting a new movie every few hours if I were you guys.

FFS!!!!!!!

I wish Comcast were here in the UK :(

The highest we have at the moment is 2MB and it's limited by where you live. I'm on 1MB and although I'm not complaining that it's slow, I'd certainly like a faster connection.

How much is Comcast for 3.5 MB D/L?

try www.dslreports.com (http://www.dslreports.com)

[RGX]

The highest I've ever seen was 160, I know it can go higher though.

[Chewie]

I'm always dling @ 500Kb/s on my 512 connection, but then I do use Newsbin to do it.

[ApacNTS]

ran that dslreport thing and got this as the result. 1165 / 133, on the net i always pull around 200kbps, klite, ha that is a whole other story :)

If your talking to me your retarded because leechget is a download accelerator not a filesharing program. :frusty:
