internet speeds and limits

[irishdude]

so i just broadband the other day and it remember a joystiq podcast where they where tallkin about broadband in the US and how much it costs. i think it was over a 100 a month and had a 250gb limit cant remember the right speed but i think it was under 10mb. to me thats really bad, cos i get 20mb, unlimited downloads for 48? a month . so i want to what kinda broadband deals people have

Ours is $32 a month and usually has speeds of up to 32kb/s IF we are lucky. Yea, it blows..

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

What are we supposed to discuss?
How crap my internet service provider is?

Edit: didn't see the last part. but still...

 

[Gerazzi]

What do you mean by "limit"?
Is that the same as "up to"?
Because I've been through that before... ISPs are evil.
I don't have broadband though.

I'm on a plan that gives me 35 gigs on peak and 35 gigs off-peak (between 1am and 8:30 am I believe) on ADSL2+ for $50 a month. I'm only about 1km from the DSLAM so my connection is typically quite good.

Up until this week I was on a cable plan, which was costing twice as much and was unreliable as shit.

i was actually on your side, the guy didnt add annything to the discussion after grammer nazi...ing you but as soon as you shoot off like this you dont get ANY support.
OT: my internet connection is abysmal, dont know the specs but it does tend to fall over and die during tiny flash games...

 

[irishdude]

fecker is an irish curse word. so................... i didnt spell it wrong.

 

[irishdude]

like who cares if some doesn't spell right. whats wrong with using short hand writing like u and r ,n. as long as ya understand what someone's writing

 

[irishdude]

Dude drop it, some of the ppl who have posted on here for ages will always make a comment like that if they see a new poster using bad grammar or making rubbish topics. It's just how it is. Suck it up and spell propa lyk or ul get attkd

OT: Its part of a Virgin Media package, £35 for TV and 10Mb unlimited download broadband. Think they do it about £25 on its own
