I'm on a fair usage policy - but who isn't? (In Europe ) I get 20Gb per month (Peak time) - off peak is essentially unlimited. Peak time is 4pm - midnight, so I leave my p2p programs running overnight. Downstream, my speed is 7616kbps, and upstream, my speed is 448kbps. Before the upgrade, it was 2272kbps downstream and 288kbps upstream, so thats quite a significant speed boost. |

Post subject: | Re: Internet Upgrades |
Like I said, during peak time - I currently average about 50Gb per month, and its going up. It certainly will go up with this upgrade. |

1.5mbs is NOT rubbish. i know people who are on 56k you Europeans are lucky that internet is damn fast over there. 1.5mb/s is fast here. |

And they're planning possible 100MB in a few years I heard - no jokes |

Post subject: | Re: Internet Upgrades |
100Meg? Wow...I knew they had that in South Korea, but here? "There's no emoticon for what i'm feeling!" I'm with Plusnet and have been with them for two years and a month. (I got the internet about a month before I found these forums lol) Plusnet aren't a massive company like Sky, and they might not be the cheapest, but their customer service is second-to-none and my connection has never failed since i've been with them. (Except for the occaisional problem on BT's end... ) I pay £21.99 a month for Plusnet's Broadband Premier package. What about you guys? Who are you with? |

Meh damn japan or somit has 100mb connections (fibre optics). France is trialing this but i dont see many EU countrys going fibre optic anytime soon. Im on adslmax 4meg ish with 448k up. 50gb peak download usage and unlimited upload anytime and unlimited download offpeak. Costs me £25 a month. Its so hard to find high cap providers with no FUP. In the UK. |

mmmmmmm..... fiber optics... I can get it here. I'm just too poor to afford it. |

Post subject: | Re: Internet Upgrades |
We've got a full Fibre Optic backbone running the whole island here on PEI, but no one has enough money to invest in anything faster than we already have so the lines just sit useless. I'm on a 10Mb Cable connection w/ unlimited bandwidth here and there's just no need to go faster right now. P2P is throttled down like crazy so I use nothing close to it one just my one computer, but I'm running 4 computers off it. |
