Seeing how media is constantly increasing in size it makes sense for internet speeds to increase in speed.

I thought Germany would have one of the best speeds in Europe...

When can I download 8k or 16k video?

I want full fidelity 4k+ VR capable internet, which would be at least 1gbps.

Damn, it's pretty rare to see an upload that is far higher than the download.

Shit upload.

>>54738231
Would you trade half your download for 4 or 5x your upload?
>>
>>54738243
Honestly, probably not. I don't really upload. Downloading shit is too nice.

>300/300
I don't need more, I rather get more storage for non retarded pice

>>54738282
17Mb upload isn't terrible either...
>>
>>54738282
Just curious, I have 150/150 (>>54738149) and upload a LOT (3-4TB per month) so I personally really like having that upload speed.

>>54737889
Are you guys old enough to have experienced dial up? And wished for something like T1? Where a nude picture took 3 minutes to load and would always freeze at the nipple.

I should have 300/300 by now but my ISP keeps delaying it
>>
>>54738181
yep, it's 5ghz airmax wifi with lot of interference and trees in path
>>
>>54738337
When I first started using PCs I had dial up where if my parents wanted to use the phone I had to get off. It wasn't too long until we had broadband in our area but it was terribly slow ~300Kbps.

upgrade to 150/150 it's like $10 more. I had 75/75 until I realized it was literally $10 more for double that.

Damn, I remember having a modem, data caps, 30kbps download, no torrents, and now it's easy like this. It will be 1GB by 2020 I think.
>>
>>54738459
What? I'm getting around ~80Mb. I have Fibre to the Cabinet which then goes through a coper cable in to the home so the copper is the bottleneck.
>>
>>54738401
lucky you I used to have 33.6 kbps dial-up and later 56kbps for a long time.

then finally convinced my parents to buy internet over wifi it was fucking 16/8 kbps during day and 32/32kbps during night but unlimited and that was insanely awesome feeling for young me to be connect 24/7

Works fine, for now at least. Cablevision/Optimum Online is going to get bought out by Altice (they own SFR/Numericable) and turn the service to shit.. And on top of this, Verizon doesn't want to deploy FTTH here. Fuck.

And I want faster upload speeds for mah Tor nodes.

Right now beyond 200 it is kind of meaningless.
There are so few services that can saturate that it just becomes dick waving, 4K only recently has entered the market
>>
>>54738093
German internet sucks dick lol
>>
>>54738561
Here in Ireland Three has probably the worst coverage of all networks. Vodaofne being the best, Three is far cheaper though.
>>
>>54738590
Yeah. They put the prices up by £10 in under 8 months though which really pissed me off. When I get 4G the speed increase will be much more worth the price i'm paying.
