you are way above dial up.. 56k <<<< 800k


http://www.speedtest.net/result/461267266.png

i pay 80-90 U$ for this crap, and its the best i can get around here unless i want to spend over 500 U$ ..

Maybe I spent too much of my life on dialup, but why are people bitching about 8Mb/s connections? I'll always want a faster connection, but fuck. 1 megabyte a second is not slow or shit by any means.

Because when looking at my connection compared to other connections (especially at the price difference mine costing 20 for <1Mbit and them paying 50 for 40times higher rate than me)

I can't upload for shit, my Ratios on torrenting sites is terrible because I can't upload any faster than 5 kbps, and my max down speed i've seen is around 90 kbps.

Yes this is marginally better than dialup, but compared to what other people have, it seems like dialup.
(i.e. A new episode of House is around 300MB in size, and it takes me about an hour and a half to download it, more if I'm trying to download more than one show at a time. Where as someone that can download at 1MB/sec is looking at about 5 minutes to download it.) The difference is frustrating.

Download speed is how fast your connection can transfer data from a remote location to your computer.

Upload speed is how fast your connection can transfer data from your computer to a remote location.

Both of these exchanges take place any time you access the web. For most users the upload use will be minimal, usually just page requests and the like. For every download you make though there is someone else uploading to you.

<3 university connections?

edit: Pricewise, the place I live is hooked up to the university network, so while the housing probably have some of their local network costs included in the monthly rent, the connection as such is provided by the university, and is free, they also provide free wireless for the students covering fairly large parts of the city.

Honestly its fair to say this ISP proves poor international links, and is only "good for Europe". Poor peformance, I personaly wouldnt advice this isp to advanced or hardcore internet users.
