It costs alot more than that. Thats about the price of a T1, and a T3 is something like 28 T1s, and there were two T3s at that place. But its not mine, I was at a friend's place of employment. Its a phone company/isp. They happen to host ALL of Netzero's machines there, dialup and all, as well as lots of other things.

Advertised 2.0 Mbit cable connection, but I'm moving to an area dominated by rogers cable :(. Normal inet service for rogers is only 1.5 Mbit. This is cogeco:

thats my home connection

i have a friend that worked at an isp a few blocks away. I used to go on downloading sprees online every few days. its amazing how fast you can fill a 20gb harddrive with a DS3 + 4 T1's (51 MegaBits) thats roughly 6.5 megabytes per second both ways now those were the days.....

Oh god, no! I'm spoiled with DSL. I can't go back to dial-up. I had an ex-friend that was on dial-up and it was a pain browsing the Internet....and to top it all off her ISP was AOL!!! :eek:

Dial-up is actually not that bad. I just don't like all that AOL bloat and I like my quick loading times better. With dial-up, the pictures can take a while, depending on how big they are.

681 Kbps down
901 Kbps up

At work and I have no clue what the connection is....yet.

I'll update this when I get home with that connection.



:edit:
My home connection is
2540 Kbps down
246 Kbps up

This is supposedly a 3 Meg connection through Cox@Home

Where do you get that from and how much is it? I know it ain't bell sympatico high speed edition...

I have rogers and get about 1200 down 185 up (kbps, thats bits not Bytes), the ba$#@&ds cut the speed in half and jacked up the price $5 last year... of course they only told us about the price increase.

Movax hurry up and move already so you can quit bragging about that 2.5Mbps connection, oh and WB to rogers (when you get it ;) ).

Your download speed : 2693563 bps, or 2693 kbps.
A 328.8 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 254744 bps, or 254 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

This is about the average on shaw cable. I sometimes get 3mb down.

I had a 1200/512 line but upgraded yesterday to a 4Mb/1Mb line.

I blame my ISP for this as they gave all there customers a 4Mb/1Mb line for the weekend for free... Now i cant go back...
And they gave us a special offer if we took the upgrade now...
hehehe
