Title: DSL can suck it
Post by: Titan on April 19, 2005, 06:21:14 PM: I\'ve never had a problem with the speed until recently. I come home from work every night and from like 9:30-11, it is slow as shit and I can\'t explain it. Verizon DSL sucks ass. As you can guess, its running slower than 56K right now and its pissing me off.

Damn. Your dorm gets better up speed than all of us that posted.

Stupid dorm

Post by: Phil on April 20, 2005, 08:07:49 PM: I also live with three other people in a space barely hospitable for one person to live.

Yes, stupid, stupid dorm.

Post by: Evi on April 20, 2005, 09:05:01 PM: I think I\'m going to live in a dorm by myself. That way...more girls can fit in the room, and I can "tutor" them for hours.

A 58.2 KB/sec transfer rate.

Your upload speed : 320 kbps.

This is at work with the lowest level business DSL package we could get. I\'ll check when I get home tonight to see how bad my cable connection rapes it.

Post by: Paul2 on April 21, 2005, 05:26:34 PM: My download speed is 4555 kbps.

My upload speed is 408 kbps.

I am using Cable here. BTW, how much you guys pay per month? I paid $30 per month for 6 months and who knows if they still continue the same price tag. going on my second month with Cable as of next week.

Post by: Lord Nicon on April 21, 2005, 05:28:35 PM: I dont mean to talk down on other people\'s up speeds but it seems most peak out a 400 something. I dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing.

Where are all the DSL users?
Title: DSL can suck it
Post by: JBean on April 21, 2005, 07:04:01 PM: Comcast Cable here:

My download speed is 4186 kbps

My upload speed is 360 kbps

I thought mine would be slower since i\'m running through a wireless router and sharing my connection. But I guess it\'s pretty decent.
Title: DSL can suck it
Post by: Evi on April 21, 2005, 09:07:08 PM: 40 bucks a month for mine. Cable always makes upload speeds suck...you have to pay extra to get it closer to the download speeds.
Title: DSL can suck it
Post by: videoholic on April 22, 2005, 03:46:05 AM: I\'ve had DSL for years. I have direct TV so I\'m not paying 50 bucks a month for cable internet when I get DSL for 25.

What\'s the site to check speeds?

1 byte = 8 bits

764 kilobytes = 6112 kilobits

or about 5.97 Mbits.
