Speaking of cellular connection..

most of my friends around my neighborhood all have something around 1mb or less down..

so whenever we skype call.. It sounds really compressed and there are dropped packets everywhere. Apparently it's my connection because I sound like shit on their side. 

 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

And I'm sitting here with 100 mb up and down...

Yes, when on ethernet I do get over 100mb up and down. On wifi it's less but right next to the router I can get around 70 on my iPad...

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I'm switching to 35/10 Fiber soon, the problem is I have to change ISP and I'm using a dryloop on the DSL, seems that could cause delays for switching and I'm not sure I want to be out of my sweeeeeeeet internet for a few days! lol

It is worth it. When I moved to fibre back in 2010 or something, it was totally worth it. I can't live without fibre now ^^

Another experience with non techies. A friend of mine lost his laptop (as in never cleaned it, used it for heavy gaming for about 5 years and the GPU literally burned down).

 

So, he spent €700 on a laptop with a last gen i7 and a 920M.

 

I advised him to return that one and for €100 more to get an MSI g62 with a quad core i5 and a 960M.

 

He refused to do so... I mean why ask for your opinion and then disregard it entirely?

He probably wanted to keep the i7 which is "Amazing". Even though the 920m is worse that the integrated GPU on the desktop pentium xD

Some years ago I was working as a phone tech support. I spent a whole day "troubleshooting" a woman whos laptop didn't boot. She had bought it the same day. First question to her "Have you plugged it into a charger?" her answer: "Are you dumb? It's laptop, it doesn't need cables." Then I spent the 5 hours of my work day explaining that the laptop was sold battery unchanrged and even if she got it started, it wouldn't charge itself and that she needed to plug the charger to an outlet and plug the charger to her laptop to charge the battery. I have never been called idiot more than that day. When I finally got her to understand how batteries and chargers work, she got her laptop started... she asked why her wireless mouse didn't work, I said that it was broken and she needed to take it back to the shop and hanged the phone.

 

My first and my last day as a phone tech support. I still see nightmare about that day and I will never work as a tech support again :|

This is why Im not going to work in tech support ever in my life. IT but not tech support

If it is ddr2 it most likely isn't even an igpu that would be the motherboard graphics.

I get ~85/90 on wireless 65 ft away from my router. And get the same or worse with an ethernet cable. We pay for 75/75.

Lol I just thought of that one guy that had bought a dual cpu x99 motherboard but didnt know how to install it and didnt buy RAM, GPU or heatsinks and thought that you could run the chips without the heatsinks and that his (bent by the way) 950 pro would work as RAM xD
