upgraded my internet...

[Whoey]

ADSL Before:


Fibre Optic now:

[Mr. Whippy]

10 !!!!

 

[Mr. Whippy]

Your ADSL was marginally better than my cell phone!

[Neil]

Who's got a big fat pipe then

[Sazabi]

Charter must be doing some work on the network, well, either that or we're being screwed with what we're being charged.  We're supposed to be getting either 50mb/s or 100mb/s. -__-

ADSL Before:


Fibre Optic now:

Wow!  That is a dramatic change.

Can you tell the difference when doing average web surfing?

[jzmtl]

I hate you all. I get 4 mbps on dsl max, and 3 on my phone even though it suppose to be up to 21.

[Whoey]

difference is noticeable 

this upgrade was long overdue... I had cable internet in BC over 10 years ago... and it's taken this long to finally do cable over here in europe... I'm rather happy bunny atm

My mobile bandwidth: (This was on my HTC Thunderbolt, I've since upgraded to the Bionic.)

Verizon



And at home:

Comcast

[Whoey]

wow, that's nice!

mine on Vodafone:

[Neil]

Mine's less   Which I could handle if 3G wasn't so bloody patchy everywhere I go.  I spend most of the time on Edge or GPRS speeds

[nuphoria]

Apparently this is ours:




Half the time it's slow though, always at peak hours 

[Neil]

I hear that.  I'm supposed to get 10MB on Virgin but I only get near that off peak.  They really need to sort their contention ratios out 

[nuphoria]

Well, this thread goaded me in to action so I rang them up.

Downgraded the TV and upgraded the broadband, saving about £2/month and going up to 20MB (allegedly!). It's the same price as 30MB except they wanted to charge me £30 for a new "superhub" for that.... ridiculous!

Can't wait till we move and become new customers again - for Sky probably.

[Neil]

I don't like the crappy way Virgin treat existing customers.  Wish we had a BT landline so that I could at least pretend to change provider.  Probably wouldn't anyway as we are so far from the exchange that the bandwidth would be even worse.

Oh well hey, this is a definite First World Problem
