And AphexII what kind of connection is that with that insane upload?

I think we determined it to be an E3 (~34mbps)

Well, I'm back to the forums after being away while we found another place to live. Just got my free 6 months promotional cable internet. The speed test at DSL Reports shows it at 9393 kbps, well above the 5mbit barrier. Is this gonna be fast enough?

yes

Welcome back, Compuwiz1.

Nice connection. I wonder how much dough they're gonna soak you for once the FREE period is up?

I have Roadrunner and pay $40/mo for a 2000/384 connection. I regularly see 1800/300 which is pretty sweet.

TimeWarner finally ran me a dedicated line for internet from the box to my apartment..I was having mad packet loss. Now the line is perfect.

I found out from the TimeWarner repair dude that there are only 6 out of 182 apartments here at my complex that have Roadrunner. Can you say "private node?" Sometimes, there's a small advantage to living in a Section 8 craphole...nobody can afford broadband.

Mine is not bad.

Uh...me too. If it's too much, I will cry.

This crap is addicting, and going slower certainly will not work for me! :Q

Welcome back CW1. We kept your place warm.

the K is an SI prefix

The K is always capital no matter what... all greater than zero prefixes, i.e. Mega Giga Tera as opposed to milli centi and the like.

It would be Kbps and KBps

So, whadd I miss? I'm surprised my PM box isn't bombed with gossip and updates by now.

I'm on cable and I get those speeds. I'm not sure that there is anyone on my node. No one in Bedford would think to get a cable modem except for me and a few other people.
