:o Congrats :o
Haha. Gratz.
I have 200 mb :(
Lols
78% downloaded photoshop and its only been 1:45 >8D
18mbit is rather fast for the UK so thats why im excited hehe, would love 200mbit!!!
Nice, I'm on 24mbit.. but shitty area so I only get 10mb connection <.<
:O nice, share the joy with free subscritions? :P
lol wut.Quote:

lol i dunno what im on....ive also got t-mobile walk n browse dongle or whatever lol
I'm on like 8mb lol.
great i'm on my old 1 mb connection xD
you have better net than mine I got only 500kbps+ XD
heres my speedtest:

I pay for 8mbit and get... 500kbit? But 18mbit from O2, that must be costing you a fair bit.
Not really O2 is very cheap, I'm on O2 for internet also and its quality and stability is awesome. But the main reason I'm with them is UK support centres, I refuse to try to communicate with another Indian, blarggggg.
On a more topical matter, I'm paying for 8mb and getting 4mb because my location is shit. Good job in 18mb.
Umm no, you can't have 200mb. Manly because forget the fact that such speeds don't exist unless you have fiber optic and ARE the ISP server (not exchange, the actual server), but most PC's cant even transfer data that fact.Quote:

Its actually cheaper than my old provider pipex!!! it costs 17 pounds a month, i get 2 months free with free router and i save 5 quid also amonth for being an existing o2 payg customer.. amazing deal!! upload speed is about 1.5mbit
(edit)
could have had it cheaper but i paid an extra few quid for dedicated support (incase of errors)
aw i've got...... 640kbps :(
lol wut im legend? o.o
Hey just saw that, grats jhewt :)Quote:

Yeah, there's 10gbit connection lines on industry owned file hosting, or games (eg. RapidShare, Megaupload, Mediafire, eg. RuneScape, WoW, etc)Quote:

Eventually, in a few years, of course. Less than 10 years ago is was PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to have over 2GB of space. Now we have 2TB drives. Go figure.Quote:

All of Rapidshare's servers are LAN'd together via fibre optics; those are THE ONLY sections which gets speeds anywhere near that. They can not possibly have 10gbit connections, because data cannot travel that fast to a hard drive. So your data is based on what? May as well be toilet paper, because MOST of your "hardware" related posts are complete and utter bullshit.Quote:

To give you an idea, the FASTEST Solid State Drive (more than 2x faster than your home HDD) can transfer at 200mb/s. Now tell me, how plausible does your hypothesis of 1,200mb/s sound?

Fair enough...

I win the crappiest ISP award!
OK. Well I don't think my ISP is crap. Connection Yes. But as for unannounced calls? C&D letters? Downloaded too much this month? Never seen it. That's why I stick with it. I had better service in a town over. (Go figure) I'll probably switch to their AT&T U-Verse stuff when it's available in my area. Because 1. I'd like to have Cable programming back I hate the hell out of dish. 2. I think it's got a higher top end is 18mbit. That's $65 a month however. I'm sure they've got a "Bundle" however.
