In my old house I got 135 kb/s and then I had to move in with my grandparents and I thought "What will their internet be? Even if they have internet..."
Then it was 2 mbps and fucking flipped out
[QUOTE=areolop;39591210]Im paying $100 USD For 7Mb/s D and 500k U plus home phone.

Living in Student apartments is great. For $0 a month I get 100 mbit connection. I still pay quite a lot of rent but at least the internet is "free".
Still, awesome that these guys managed to do it themselves for a fraction of the cost.
Holy fuck, that's over ten times faster than my work which is a University supplied from the JANET education network

at the main campus it's about double and at home I get about 30meg with like 4meg upload with Virgin.
This is a great example of an effective not-for-profit co-operative model

This isn't that bad although I wish I had a higher download quota, mine is 150GB. It does the job well, although expensive at $90 per month.
Since the switch, I've been getting slower internet even though Plusnet says it's basically the same one. They're throttling my force9 connection. Bastards.

I come from the land down under,
Where internet's slow, and pings plunder.
(Hurry up NBN pls)

I pay for 10Mbps down and 2Mbps up... My ISP is pretty chill
ugh, someone start a "POST YOUR INTERNET SPEED" thread in fast threads so we can end this bragging fest..

I wish people got together to do something like this in my village. Nobody cares.
