That's fast, neotrumatrix.
Where do you stay and how much do you pay per month?

Yeah, I'm still stuck with a 256Kbps connection.
But it's better than what I had 6 months back...a 64Kbps connection and 56Kbps when I shifted my residence a few months before that.

Does anyone have lower speeds than I do?

Yep that's my ISP commercial speed.. well not actually.. they say it's up to 384Kbps.. but test speed says it's around 256++ or so.. lmao.. :blink:

well if I convert it to dollars.. it's 22$ per month.. unlimited.. lmao.. that's all I can afford.. :D :D No wonder JAVA website take minutes to load..and sometimes mostly at night.. it doesn't load at all.. :blink: sucks to be poor..

What do you do with that much of speed? Isn't that just too much for a personal computer at home ? How much does it cost you?

lol, unfortunately my dad is pretty satisfied with 256Kbps. It seems sufficient 'cuz he only checks his email from home.

Whatever happpened to the Principle of Economics:"Man has unlimited wants and when these wants are satisfied, he wants more"

Believe it or not, between my roommate and I, we use it. And we pay $34.95 a month, plus a phone line. Comes out to a pretty even $50/mo. Cable Internet around here costs about the same for equivalent speeds.
