Gone for good 1,593 August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 My internet speed should be a lot faster, but my wireless card that I use is pretty bad. I got it for about ten dollars five years ago, and I am shocked as to how I haven't gotten a new one yet. Just editing my signature to say that my behavior on here was cringe. I don't regret the friends i made but man i was cringe here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanoshii 131 August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 I think that my speed is being doubled later this year for free, I think they said sometime in November. top lel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaneki 1,073 August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 I think that my speed is being doubled later this year for free, I think they said sometime in November. Holy crap. I would get similar speed (40mbps/4mbps) if Bright House Networks didn't want $80 a month for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think this costs the equivalent of 80 USD (52 GBP), but the price does include cable TV and telephone). It's pretty expensive but worth it IMO top lel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty expensive but worth it IMO Well, the 80 here is just for net. The whole triple play (basic digital TV, unlimited home phone, and 7mbps net) is $110 a month. Want decent net? Extra $15 a month. Voicemail? $3 a month. Want more channels? Extra $20 a month. Yeah, my ISP is a huge scam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's AT&T U-verse (AT&T's cable TV brand), but they wanted $250 for installation. Bright House only wanted $40 for installation so we went with them, plus we already had AT&T DSL and got so freaking tired of their crappy outsourced support.

Heres how bad: Phone support = Indian reps who have the English skills of one English class They send out incredibly nasty and rude reps for repair stuff If you ask to speak to someone in America on their phone support, it's some old person who knows barely anything about the company they work for. When you have speed issues it's automatically "a problem with your home's phone wiring". Edited August 3, 2012 by Cloggedone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireFox 82 August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 The only real choice I have is suddenlink cable. I could use frontier dsl, but at 1MB/s max it's not really an option. I pay $73.00 per month for 20MB/s requiring a DOCSIS 2.0. I have my own DOCSIS 3.0 modem so until about a month ago I was getting around 50MB/s and it seemed uncapped. Now I only get 30MB/s so I guess they put a cap on DOCSIS 3.0 modems. I have to say that at one time I paid over $100.00 for an ISDN connection (2x64kbps b channels and a d channel).

Fghik 360 August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 Is this....good? What really disturbs me though, is the fact my upload speed is way faster than my download speed...that, and I have a test location (or whatever you'd call it) less than 50 miles away. But what do I know? I'm just a stupid kid. ҉ .Eternal ¸.•'´¯Chaos¯´'•.¸Comes¸.•'´¯With¯´'•.¸Chocolate¸.•'´¯Rain ҉ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiki 5,855 August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 There's my mediocre internet. The thing is, I did multiple tests, to get some kind of "average", because I know my internet speed goes from good, to great, to miserable, to (literally) not even functional on a daily basis. Night time is when my internet is the fastest, but most unreliable. You'll be entranced by me ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key Gear 6,663 August 6, 2012 Share August 6, 2012 Hello Cloggedone, We actually already had an Internet speed thread. Because yours is basically the same thing, I've merged them. We usually merge threads like this to keep the discussion located in one place for convenience. Now, for something on-topic, here are my Internet speed results: Let's just say that I'm not really setting the world on fire with my Internet connection. http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png At least it's faster than dial-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave247 568 August 7, 2012 Share August 7, 2012 This is pretty good for my country as it's coaxial cable. Most people have ADSL2+ though. Not too long ago I upgraded my plan and modem for a fee that wasen't cheap but I think it was worth it.

Nightfall 3,950 August 7, 2012 Share August 7, 2012 (edited) http://www.speedtest.net/result/2106129024.png I blame it on the hotel internet. It is slower than my old internet by quite a bit...
