How's Your Internet?

[Robotchk12]

With Hughes Net Satellite, I can get 100 kb/s on a good day. But go over a certain bandwidth, and for 24+ hours, your entire internet access is shut down, because of a Fair Access Policy (or FAP). Yes, it's that bad. Yes, pun intended.
What service do you use, and how happy are you with it?

I'm stuck with an incredibly shitty 56k modem, but it gets the job done, if its not broken don't fix it.

[Echo-Konosko]

My internet works and doesn't care what i do.

My internets good, especially for my shitty computer that should of died years ago but keeps on trucking for some reason

[Lagatag]

My internet is ok. I mean it works and runs at a moderately fast speed.

[Lintire]

I can get 350+ kb (bytes, not bits) on a good day, but mostly it sits around 75 - 100 kb.

[AlphaCentauri]

I don't know, I have Verizon, it sometimes randomly goes out, and I get angry, but, all in all works well. I am not aware of any restrictions though.

[Emi]

I'm paying for one megabit. As part of a special promotion, all their customers had their packages doubled free of charge. I'm supposed to have two megabits, but I'm actually pushing three. To bad the line quality is so poor that it disconnects often.

Still nice to have a download speed pushing 300 kb/s.

[Eclipse]

Download speeds are anywhere from 800KBs to 1Mbs depending on the server. Still, thats pretty fast. I always have the lowest ping in online video games, but its just Comcast, not some business internet company. I don't get it. I mean, I don't need speeds this fast, but its nice.

[UberCream]

Yeah, it's pretty good. Don't fall for the Comcast "High Speed' upgrade. It really doesn't do anything. If anything, my internet seemed slower.

High speed my bawlz.

[IzzyDude]

I have good enough service, it's not slow or anything and gets the job done.

[6r0undZ3r0]

My Internet right now is pretty slow because I'm using wireless.

i would like to say my internet = fail

Wait... What the fuck is that?

[Neenja-SkLz]

Cox. Unlimited internet. Fast as shit. Never any down time unless my modem is getting old (had this one for 4 years and it's still not shitting out like my last one) or they're doing maintenance. On a good day I can download several gigs in about 8 minutes.

[Fleshlight]

this is the speed for my wireless laptop. Usually get 20mb+ on my desktop though.

It's what you get when Civilization lies 25 miles in the other direction.

Notice the tractor in the background and the fairly large amount of land.

I have internet that gets average 1 MB - 3.5 MB per second (no, this is not a ballpark estimate, considering it varies on the time of day), but theres multiple problems with it:

- If it's past 9:00 PM EST it will have random slow moments
- If it's anywhere between 12:00 AM EST and 5:00 AM EST it will randomly crash for 30 seconds or so, enough time to annoy you, not enough time to fix permenantly.

Been there, done that. Lowered my ping but the overall line was shittier. I lost connection a lot and didn't see much of an increase in UL/DL.

I decided I would get the real thing. Upload speed is really slow, I dunno the fuck why. Download speed is nice, but it gets about 1.5 mb at the most, prolly the server distance tho.

This be the speed :D

[Imaku]

Also, the ping goes anywhere from 500ms to 800ms and the price = DAYUM EXPENSIVE.

For the service, anyway. I would love me some cable right now.

[americanidiot2f]

My download speed is usually, at it's best, 150 kb/ps for one download.

[Lepy]

My internet is pretty good, it's just my crappy computer that's a big piece of slowness.

[Tinkco86]

I really can't complain about Comcast. It's just been great. Sometimes it gets kind of screwy, but that happens like once in a year. It's a simple fix too.
