What's it like to have fast internet?
>>258914701
Jesus christ people actually have Internet that slow? I have like 75mbps at my house.
Man, I can't go back ever.
>>258915425
How do you even get internet that fast?
>>258914701
I used to use century link and get speeds like that. then i switched to xfinity and i only pay $5 a month more for 50 mb/s.

Reminder that Comcast throttles bandwidth until services pay up, spoofs TCP RST packets if you try to use P2P clients, and pays off regulatory bodies to keep themselves above the law.
If I had a better phone and a stable signal, I would literally have faster internet if I got an unlimited data plan and tethered my phone to my computer.
Australia represent.
>>258917904
OP here, I literally cannot get internet from anyone other than Century link.
>>258914701
At first it's really awesome. But once you get used to it you want it to be even faster.
>>258919084
You think we don't know that? Doesn't matter, don't have any other option.

>>258920272
I'm like this, I was happy at first but then you notice it's only 60% faster than the rest of your country and you want more.

It picks cities with existing fiber infrastructure that want someone to take over, usually because of some boondoggle or another.

It's essentially all the round-trip to orbit. The signal is traveling over 70,000km - even light takes a long time.

Because the fucking companies basically got everyone by the balls, they made deals with the cities that no one else could install utilities through various loopholes and shit and it's just near impossible to actually get any new infrastructure in from what I am told.
Really really pisses me the fuck off and I wish someone would do something about it, but unfortunately no one will.

>>258921979
>I don't know how to refute this
>>258923057
Hughes used to have daily limits, they've gotten better in the last 2 years or so, but getting 2x better is worthless when they still need to get 100x better to even compete with a standard broadband connection.
Verizon is the main cell provider out in da cuntry where people get satellite shit. Verizon has a ton of bullshit rules and fees if you want to use your phone's built-in tethering mode. You can get a 3G card and a phone line for the purpose of internet, but gone are the days where you could get unlimited data, IIRC you can only get 2-50GB per month at $25-$180 per month.
I have one of the old unlimited lines at $30/month, and regularly use +150GB/month, DL and UL are normally 100KB/s and 80KB/s, respectively.

Tangentially involved here. We signed away the town to Time Warner because they were the only ones willing to run anything at all. DSL wouldn't cover half of the houses and cable modem was all that existed at the time. They promised they would keep things maintained and up-to-date, but the town government are a bunch of rednecks and didn't know how to formalize that.

>tfw 300GB cap that I never reach
Teksavvy's capped package only charges you past the cap up to the price of an unlimited package then stops.
There's literally no reason to buy the more expensive unlimited package. Worst case scenario you go over and pay the unlimited package price, but on the months you don't go over, it'll be the cheaper 300GB price.
Win/win
Also, Teksavvy doesn't count any bandwidth between 2 and 8 am, so if you're often doing shit late at night, you'll likely never hit your cap.
>>258926869
Because they used those billions to line the pockets of congressmen.
Our government is FAIR and BALANCED. Congress can't just take tax money and put it in their own pockets. No.
They have to give it to a friend first and then the friend can give it back to them as a personal gift.

I dont know but the shit the FBI pulled it blowing up in their face.
The plan was to freeze his assets so he couldnt afford lawyers to defend him at his extradition trial. What happened was that heaps of lawyers did work for free and after a bit of digging it turned out that the charge against him in the US was actually a made up charge becase there isnt technically anything illegal under the then current US law which he did.
Because extradition laws here in NZ prohibit people being sent to foreign countries if they are likely to face an unfair trial hes probably going to stay here in NZ along with his two friends who are also on trial for the same thing.

'big city' means different things to different people. From the eyes of a Torontonian, If its not Vancouver, its not a big city.

The Portland metro area. Hillsboro, Beaverton, etc.
Portland doesn't have a subway system, we have a light rail.It's pretty damn good, too.
>>258928221
It's small and cramped and you don't have enough space for your legs but at least there's that little TV with games and shit and they give you candy at the end
I once got to visit the flying cabin mid-flight, those fuckers have some comfy as fuck seats

Couldn't tell you, I've never had to call them. They used to be absolute shit, but now I have no complaints. In the year I've been using them I think my connection outright dropped four times and throttled for a few hours once.
They will call you every few months trying to hit you up for more money by upgrading though. Mildly irritating, but not a big deal.
Th-thanks, Rogers.

Its pretty boring most of the time, on long flights like the 13 hour Auckland to San Francisco ones they have personal TVs so you can watch some selected movies and such.
Oh, and the chairs are very uncomfortable unless you are in the rich people seats and a lot of the time you have almost no leg room because they cram as many seats into the plane as possible.
>>258928802
just watch some movies about it, the exact opposite will happen
>>258928802
It's boring.Where you live?

I went from having 2 mbps download speed for the past 7 years to finally getting fibre optic today.
2mb to 77mb. I-It's so fast. I reformatted my HDD just for an excuse to redownload all my Steam games. It was incredible. I only wish I had first world internet 5-6 years ago when I used to download the latest MMO and had to keep my PC on all night to download the client.

I liked planes 10 years ago because you could play all these movies and games and back in the day that was new to me.
Now I can do that shit on my phone or PC

I have Charter in St. Louis and their customer support never fails to rectify things, but I do have a few complaints.
- At my old place, the wire that came down from the line into my house had been corroded and I got shit tier internet. Play WoW for 30 seconds, lag spike, disconnect. Wash rinse repeat. They told me to buy a new modem, so I did. That did not fix anything. It took months, but eventually got a guy to come out and check my signal in person and he instantly fixed the issue.
- My internet has gone down in my new place (apartment complex) because they came out and meant to shut someone else off but wound up shutting down the whole apt complex instead.
- I don't /quite/ get advertised speeds. It's still very fast.

What does No-Intro mean when it comes to roms? I see that on a lot of torrents.
I'm used to no intro meaning intro videos cut out for PC games and shit.

Wow, this is the first time I get to feel superior for my internet speed.
>>258929368
>What does No-Intro mean when it comes to roms? I see that on a lot of torrents.
It means it's a clean dump of the original game data. Back in the old days (early 90s, when these systems were still in use) ROM dumps would frequently have an "intro" attached from the group that provided them - especially if they had to crack some copy-protection.

Rogers isn't even that bad anymore on the high end, they can give you 250/20 unlimited for $125 a month on pretty much any coaxial line in Toronto.

>I can't believe I had to live with this for 3 months, it was hell.
My building recently got 40mbps VDSL2 - before then, it was 5mbps ADSL or Comcast. I used T-Mobile for 6 months. (It was faster than the DSL would have been, but dropped a lot of packets during busy times.)

If I had plenty of cash and no commitments here, I'd move in a heartbeat. I'd love to travel and settle down somewhere that isn't where I am right now. Even somewhere else in the UK that isn't a complete shit hole would do.

>>258923570
except you can't do shit because your internet is too slow
try to browse something like /v/ and the either images don't load (they usually get stuck 1/3rd of the way), the threads don't load fully and thus the inline replies and such don't work, or at the worst all your bandwidth goes to your browser and you spend even more fucking time downloading the game
Are you country bumpkins that fucked? I pay 30 dollars for 2 years for internet with the deal I have and even after it's over it just raises to 65 dollars a month for it. You people need to move in
>>258930935
Also unlimited cartels.

Except now you can't read the manual because that also has to come down over the same connection.

You're in one of the largest cities in the world in 2014 and you've got less than 100mbps? How is this acceptable? You could probably just run a fucking 1000base-t UTP.

Impossible.
That's just downright Impossible.
I would kill people for even half of the speeds and twice the price.
