>"Anon whats the problem? Four and a half megabytes is pretty fast..."
it is fast if you don't watch silly videos or uses torrent
>>54359287
Trying to do anything while downloading is impossible. Basically if I want to torrent or download/update steam games and still be able sort of able to do something else I've gotta throttle the download to ~350KB/s.
When XCOM 2 came out it took me about three days to download.

Nigger I have half your speeds on a shared connection that is being used exclusively for Netflix by others 80% of the time and I manage just fine.
>>54359219
Who gave this pussy a gun
>>54359588
I get $20k every year from my college in grants and loans and buy a year long lease in a nice apartment.
I also collect autismbux while I'm in school for another $1000 every month.
Living in a dorm, unless you're forced to, is literally retarded.
>>54359370
Why are you downloading games using your College internet? Get your own to do that shit.
>>54359593
This.
OP is a spoiled fucking cunt.
I get by just fucking fine on 2.9 mbps.
I'd absolutely love to have 4.5 mbps. Drink bleach OP.
>>54359219
Haha! Tuition goes up, Internet speeds go down.
Students do nothing about it except complain individually.
Typical americans. In 1998 everyone on my campus had at least 15Mbps, and that was in rural MI.
I hate these commercials for phones that just say megs. What the fuck is a meg?
>Living on Campus
also
>trying to do anything bandwidth-heavy on non-private connections
>not just renting a large seedbox and FPT'ing it to you
I get 1.7 mb/s so you know count your blessings
Upload is 0.075 btw
>>54359219
>living in the dorm
Are you mentally challenged?
Eve if your college is in an expensive part of a country you would be better off finding a roommate and living off campus instead of paying $25k a year for a shitty room with shitty Internet.
>>54359219
so like 32mb? still quick though
>>54359996
What country?
>>54359219
4000kbit/s here. but srsly fight with others
>>54359729
>>54359219
>>54359370
get the fuck out of here.
your standards are way to fucking high.
Be fucking glad you cuck. In the fucking 3rd world country of Australia, I get 400 kb/s tops.
>>54359608
Not OP but considering I live in a dorm we are sort of forced to use college internet
Thank God my school gives based 900 up 900 down
>>54359219
You're an absolute cunt. Consider ending your life.
>>54359782
1,000 kilo's
usually when you say 'meg' you're referring to a megabyte
network speeds are in megabits per second
>>54359588
>implying it's hard to afford an apartment
You're getting a degree that should land you 100k/year jobs. You should be able to find a job that pays you even a quarter of that with what you already have.
>>54359219
nigga do you mean 4.5 megabits per second or 4.5 megabytes per second? the difference is fucking huge.
>>54359623
+1. Fucking rural 'up to 70mb' bullshit - we're getting 3mb when every speglord child isn't saturating our cabinet with cawl of dooty or minecraft. It works fine. Netflix and games works fine. OP is either a retard or a moron or both.
>>54360014
A lot of colleges require you to spend the first year in their dorm system.
>>54360561
he said Mb
and still, both of them are pretty sad speeds
>>54360621
4.5 megabytes is considered quite high end in 'Merica.
>>54359219
I get more on my phone using a free vpn to download torrents(if it really is megabits) . But if you're in America, that speed is wonderful!
>>54359506
MiB is megabits, if that's what your getting at.
>>54360629
for Alaskans, sure
My internet is limited by the cable. I get ~100/100 for $5/month, it is fine.
>>54360672
if you don't live relatively near a large city you're still in 90s internet speeds
my old house in the middle of buttfuck no where still had dial up in 2009
>>54360672
Actually Alaska has pretty good internet in it's one or two urban areas.
It's the bread basket that's the worst.
>>54359219
4.5 is pretty nice. I am doing fine with 1.6MB/s. Maybe you could try being less autistic?
What do you need more bandwidth for?
>>54360665
u wot m8
>>54359606
not everyone is a shitskin.
>>54360694
4.5 Mbits is less than half of 1.6 Mbyte.
>>54360748
>Basically if I want to torrent or download/update steam games and still be able sort of able to do something else I've gotta throttle the download to ~350KB/s.
From the sound of it, he got 4.5 Mbyte.
>>54360771
He wouldn't have to throttle it that low if he had 4.5 Mbyte though.
Anyway, just realized OP is a retard and said both Mb and megabyte in his post.
>>54359506
MB is megabyte.
Mb is megabit.
>>54359287
4.5 Mb/s is a maximum download speed (in a perfect world with no overhead) of 562 KB/s.
That's not cutting it with the modern web, where the average page load size is around 2MB. That's 4 seconds for a single web page to load. Not very good.
>>54360605
>>54360605
Fuck that noise.
>>54360621
He said Mb and then megabytes. The two are not the same thing.
>>54360958
Holy shit, waiting entire 4 seconds!
>not limiting his torrent global download rate
>not qos them to lowest priority
op really should kill himself.

y-you can do both the things together without having an insane latency if you have enough bandwidth? i've never seen more than 7Mb/s in my life
>>54360157
Which college?
>>54360743
>shitskin
get mad
stay mad
>>54360771
No, I get 4.5Mb/s, and people confuse Mb with MB and say it isn't that bad. And then the same thing happens here.
Look on my speed, ye Faget, and despair!

>>54363620
y-yeah!
R7000 router pays off with 5ghz .
>>54360958
Your browser has a cache and people tend to only visit a small number of websites. 4.5Mbps sucks, but it's far from unusable, even on a high latency cellular connection tethering to a laptop.
>>54360958
oh no! 4 seconds!
your standards are too high, m8
4.5Mb/s is more than plenty for school requirements
if you're that annoyed by having to manually throttle things, get a router with QoS and use that to shape the traffic automatically
having fast internet is like 120fps on 120Hz
once you've experienced it you won't be able to go back
>>54363956
to give you idea, here's the classes and their current load on my router (running Gargoyle, an OpenWRT-based OS)
i'm running torrents, and they're being placed in the "slow" class, so they will be throttled as soon as anything else goes to use bandwidth
they're currently using all my bandwidth, and nothing else is really demanding anything, but if i, for example, open a youtube video, they will slow down very quickly, as they are placed in a higher class (normal)
>>54360743
>shitskin
>autismbux
Full retard
>shitskin
>grants
Double full retard, literally how?
>>54364085
pic is immediately after opening a youtube video, the "normal" usage is very high to begin with as the video is buffering ahead
as soon as i stop playing, the torrents will jump back to full speed, no bandwidth goes to waste

This. I actually purchased an ISDN line because of that shit. luckily, I had an awesome Dialup ISP that let me use both channels without charging extra. Now a rural WISP came in and I'm getting 3mbps with an initial 20meg burst to 10mbps for streaming.

Are you complaining that the school IT doesn't know the difference between megabit and megabyte or are you complaining about 4.5 megabytes/second being too slow for your power level?
