Imagine having my Internet

[Hainline24]

Take a moment and imagine having the internet I have. People complain about having 20mbps and say they need more. I would LOVE to be able to have 10. Behold my speeds and ISP http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3572120429 http://www.airwans.net/ ......... This speed test is on the slow side, on a normal sunny day I get 1.7 - 1.9 mbps.. The nearest place where cable or DSL is available is about 7 miles away..

At least your upload matches your down, not many people can say that.

Some of us grew up with 56k, quit complaining.

nice

[SpyRosL]

Your upload speed is better than mine

I used dial-up before. Be grateful that many of you will never have to experience that horror.

[BonBon Scott]

I think some people take the Internet for granted.

[Hainline24]

Also I did use dial up for quite a while

LoL, first modem my family had was 28.8 and I had a friend who had 14.4 before that.

We just plain didn't have internet before our 56k modem.

Quit whining. In best conditions I've got 1Mb/s. I didn't make an entire thread to just get attention.

At my grandma's, this is a great day. Most of the time it's about 1/2 to 3/4 of this. Shut up.

Wow, ISPs are terrible in the US. I haven't had internet that slow since 2007. Oh and I'm only paying £13 for this.

I'll never forget the horrifying noise the modems made when dialling.

Yep, well its not all of the US, its just that I live in rural America

[upliftsleet1974]

Yours is still better than mine!

 

We pay $75 a month and get this and thats on a good day

Speedyquick networks got an F+ ? I love irony. Are you all on adsl then? Most of the UK is covered in fibre now and you can get those adsl speeds here for about £3 a month if you take a landline package with it.

[Victor Golf]

I have to live with it.

Enough tax payer money went to the ISPs to pay for fiber to EVERY house in the US, and they STILL complain that fiber is too expensive.
