You should all move to Athens. We may be ancient, but our internet is fast. Cool columns atop that hill downtown, too.  8)



Too bad you don't give as well as you take.  ;D

Your signature implies that you know it already.  ;D

Actually I'm not especially bright:

Yes to the first, just checking for fibbers 0:)   I do not agree with the second [sorry] couldn't resist it ;)
Andante always true to his word has kicked the Marijuana soaked bot with its addled brain in to touch.

Yeah, I asked a few weeks ago if anyone has tried it yet.  Good to see someone now has and likes it.

I may wait for the couple of weeks for the current season to end so my year sub will include all of next season and the archives for the current and past ones that they add.

Erm, just let me remind you the results are in Megabit/s, not Megabyte/s.

Now, now, let's not get carried away. Here's the official conversion chart.

Wurstwasser, 45 Mbps is fast, for the average consumer at least.

Of course I know (as are everyone's results who took that cute little test also). But thanks for the link, it's dead useful and I'll pass it on to some mathematically (and computerly) challenged acquaintances of mine (I have a few).

PS. I like opus67's official conversion chart even better.  ;D

Life sucks, man, life sucks. It should actually be a little over 3 Mb/s, but my current modem hates me.

Nope, I'm just lucky enough to live where there is a real Ethernet connection and not ASDL, after all, the A stands for 'Asymmetric''.

Veering decidedly off-topic: I find it interesting that most ISPs treat the net as a broadcast medium rather than a network medium, of course there is higher demand for content consumption than content production, but still, with my connection I could run a moderately popular web site or forum from home.

Oh by the way, I just realised I had the network cable disconnected and running on my old flaky wireless network. Turns out the connection is asymmetric after all

Yes, I didn't state the opposite.
I'm on a 16Mbps ADSL line, max. download speed is ~1.65MByte/s, upload 120kByte/s. Which is the "standard" package here in germany imo.
