The speed test plague has come, RIP thread.
Also, Sweden has had 1 GB/s internet since 1999 IIRC, kind of sad the states are still so far behind.
it's about $75 for 25 megabit/s in Northern Virginia.
it's a dick. at one point, we heard a boom outside, lights flickered, my friends mom yelled "WHY TV NO WORK" and all internet died for a good 14 hours. it was great. I read a book!
now the internet only goes out if my friend messes with the wi-fi. the fucker flashed its OS and caused it to "not work" for a long ass time. "hit the reset" "you don't know what you're talking about" 3 hours of this shit, hearing him bitch about how its the routers fault that he failed. I hit the reset button and it fixed it!

10 MB/s for $54 dollars a month, i wish we have more choices.
I want better and cheaper internet here in kentucky...
[QUOTE=Zovox;44242825]Why are the internet speeds in your countries so low with those insane prices? Here in Sweden, internet speeds are high and cheap. I guess it because it's a small country.[/QUOTE]
Some of it has to do with infastructure. After all, many rural areas don't have access to true broadband yet. But a lot of it has to do with virtual monopolies, lack of government oversight, and customer apathy. However, its I don't blame people completely. When your choice is shitty expensive DSL or no internet, what are you going to do? I guess run to the store and buy a dial-up modem I suppose.

At the time of writing, I am paying about US$93/month for this.
(Not american, so have to convert)
Before I moved I used to have a 10mb, it was about US$145/month. Current area doesn't have infrastructure :(
I hate, [I]hate[/I] connection speeds in America. My family pays out the ass for a 5mb connection, that [I]actually[/I] sits around 4mb, and that's considered fast. All the while the rest of the world sees 15-20mb as low. Shit sucks :(
