Taqwa11 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 If I ever move, one thing I'll probably miss is my internet connection. Check out my internet connection speed on the bottom of this chart:Connection Type Connection Speed Faster Providers In Your Area 28.8 Kbps Dial-up 28.8k 33.6 Kbps Dial-up 33.6k 53.3 Kbps Dial-up 56k 64 Kbps ISDN 64k 128 Kbps ISDN 128k 384 Kbps DSL 384k 768 Kbps DSL 768k 1500 Kbps DSL 1.5MB 2100.9 Kbps 2100.9 kbps SSSSSSSMOOOOOOKIN!!!

Caid Ivik Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 56kSome kind of subspace hyperwave without nasty gluons and gravitons blocking the way should be faster, but I think 56k is enough for me. In Slovakia it depends more on telephone system than a modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 One thing I have noticed with my cable modem recently is that my up speed is now the same as my down speed so I now get:1.5 Mbits up1.5 Mbits downI have not tryed playing online with these speeds yet, but I should be able to play a no lag game with another broadband player. I will have to try it tonight :) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad dib Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Mine is a 56K but it runs at about a 36K. Cant get anything faster yet cuz we might get a new computer and we are poor. We get good deals by not upgrading. We only pay 4 to 5 US $ for our internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Years ago I was at 2400 baud. Now that was sloooooow. :)I had a 2400 baud modem on my old 386 25Mhz machine. All I could get to back then were Bulletin Boards that you had to dial into via Procomm plus and they all had different interfaces. They used to cap the amount of time you could spend online per week (or month can't remember). I would download game demos like Wofenstein 3D and Doom and the files were like less than 1MB and it would take a couple of hours to download. I started hearing about the internet back in 1995, but there weren't any providers in South Carolina back then that I could afford ($30 a month) and my machine could not handle the graphically intensive web browsers of the time. You needed a 486 for the World Wide Web. I was in envy of people who had 14.4K modems back then. Oh well we all have sucky connections sometime in our lives.

gryphon Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 I recently moved to another part of the country, and had to say goodby to my 8MB connection. Fortunately my current provider isn't only slower but cheaper to ;D [ still have the fiber optical cables that run though my home at that time . ... ]For the times I went to school there I owned an account that had access to, no .. almost had access to the backbone locted in Rotterdam. Pretty fast sometimes ;)Now, when I go to school or work I just have to settle for an government payed fiberoptic network or few MB's :-At home I settle for 3 vs 1 MB and a second connection at 2 vs 2. Both bundled in a multi WAN router. [ or however those darned things are called, second one is mostly for backup purposes though .. ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
