Fantastic....I got a faster connection

I got a faster connection, and completely by surprise. :w00t:

I noticed my downloads the other day were extremely fast; faster than I had ever seen them, and it was with uTorrent. Later, while downloading an via Grabit, I noticed I was maintaining a constant speed right at 800 kB/s when I was always maxing out at 600.

Went and did a speed test, and I guess RoadRunner has improved my connection somehow. :idunno:

Been getting this good speed for about a week now - hope it continues. :happy:

Nice. Maybe your ISP has upgraded the speed of your connection. :)

I formerly had adelphia. I got bumped from 6M/768 to 15M/768. works for me :)

That's quite a nice connection. Where do you reside?

Thats still subpar for a RR connection.

I have RR and im getting 1 MB/s max down and about 60 Kb/s up :(

When I looked up your IP address to see what your ISP was, this came up:

Code:

---

REMOVED, DON'T POST PEOPLE'S LOCATIONS (their safety, anonymity, etc.)

---

I figured you were using their wireless connection. :idunno:

LOL. Thats because im at work right now. I'm no bandwidth thief bro. And even if i was, I wouldnt steal from a hospital. :ermm:

Anyway, yeah my home connection is RR.

That's why you don't visit FileSharingTalk.com chat room on SoulSeek.clever..j/k :rolleyes:

Maybe you would like to join a young, dynamic filesharing network, running a filesharing server, on your own computer..without fear of RIAA etc.. and try a link to our filesharing network..You will become God in your own heaven.

I have a 10mbit from Time Warner (Roadrunner) and I have only been able to saturate it once, with a Linux Tracker torrent, otherwise, I never get more than 150k on a torrent. Obviously my system can handle it, as it worked at one point, am I just on lame-o trackers?

BT doesn't handle speeds that fast with ease.

Go to newsgroups and you'll max it out all the time. :)

Thats true, Usenet rocks! Although I remember the days when I used to download releases by 56k and wait days and days for one program, and hope that the modem didnt disconnect in the middle... Now I am complaining about 150k [T1!!!! speed] too slow... in those days I would have killed a relative to get a quarter of that!! LOL

Well, with bittorrent you're at the mercy of the seeders. I have gotten consistent speeds with certain tracker, but it's never a given like it is with newsgroups.

wow.. adelphia rocks. im 15 miles too far south to get them here in FL. rr modems only handle 10mbs, last i checked. still not too bad.

Haha, that happened with my twice.

i Get 800 KB/s DOwn And 45 KB/s UP with comcast :(

when i got my connection upgraded frrom 1mbit/128kbit to 4mbit/256kbit i didn't get notified about it either :)

yeah with cox over the years they just automatically bumped me from 1.5 originally to 4 to 6 to 9-15 i think depending on what you pay.

Im with Verizon Fios and its the best bang for your buck. 15Mbps down and 3 Mbps up. Really fast =D

verizon is also strict on illegal filesharing as well i heard

Not particularly. ^

Me too. Though us down here in the South West get all upgrades last of all. Though the upgrade is nice the fact that they throttle you down to quarter speed in the evening if you download over 3gb is a bit annoying.

yeah waiting for the 20meg here too. and getting around the traffic management will be easy if you time your dowloads right.

wow, that makes me want to upgrade my internet.

What is a roadrunner?......

Verizon could care less about file sharing. I have 30Mbit down and 5 Mbit up Fios. I have uploaded around 500 gigs in the last month, and they havent said anything. About to get a bump up to 50Mbit down and 10 Mbit up, cannot wait.

Them speeds are not fast!!! Check mine out!!!!

Would kill for that connection.

What does it cost you?

Can someone say seedbox lol

This is my home connection.......Cox communications

http://www.speedtest.net/result/156892249.png

I get 8/1 from home but I dont do much with it. Seedboxes for years so it just takes me to the servers. I still wish though I had fios in my area but its not planned here for a long time. Speeds are not bad - it does the job

i have a 24/8 connection .. :D

Nice.
