You know you've been spoiled by broadband when...

You are downloading a 200mb file, it says it will take 30 minutes and you wonder why it's taking so freaking long!!!


BTW: This just happened to me

You know, I was very happy with a 1.5 megabit connection until I read this thread...

I know. It sucks.

Comcast needs to hurry up and switch to 3.0/256k.

2.0/256k just isn't fast enough.

 

[dman]

hmm, that's ~111KB/s xfer rate. So, yeah, could be better. Ah, just kill some time neffing.

Yeah, I d/l's that lo-mac flight sim demo last night, and their connection sucked. I thought something was wrong with my dsl last night, so I did some speed tests, and everything was running great. Found out my upload speed was doubled, too.

Anyway, took me 7 hours to dl the 150mb file. I ended up starting it before I went to bed, and let it go through the night. Its been a long time since I've had to plan my downloads.

I'm not spoiled... I won't be 100% satisfied until everything I want the computer to do happens within 1 or 2 seconds of real time.
