i can't breath.... it takes me 2 nights to download a 2.5GB movie, becasue my net is only free from 3to7am , and you do that in 17 seconds, it took me a month to get tf2 and wow update(cata), i leave my pc to download a youtube movie if i get lucky enoguh to use https, you can watch hd ones without problem...
Hey look on the bright side- our net in North America is never free
. Yes we have faster connections but that's just a result of investment in infrastructure. Any country or region with some dedication to the idea can pull it off.I'm very sorry that you have to deal with 0.5mbps (and less). That really sucks. If it makes you feel any better my grandmother in Spain usually only gets 0.5-3.0 down and 0.25-0.5 up. Not that much better. I try to download big files there and I just shake my head at the horror that ensues.

i got used to it
its pretty normal for me, and by free i mean it doesn't use any of the data limit ! (when i go to their website it shows me like: 2gb of 4gb etc)anyway my main problem with my net is that i can't go to youtube or many websites to see tutorials etc!

Hey my city is on that list! (Toronto). Fairly high up too. I envy people in Hong Kong and Seoul. Not that I'd want to live there... but I envy their internet speeds.

Wow. Walter White's home state has bad internet. I pay what you pay for 60 down 10 up/unlimited.
No offense intended, of course. Just juxtaposing the two.
i USED to pull 175Mb/s down...

Using OpenNic for dns servers on verizon fios. Could be faster on the default servers but whatever

No it couldn't. A DNS request may alter latency at the beginning of a download (and only at the beginning). It in no way whatsoever alters throughput.

Maybe but my z3 phone with speedtest differs by a great deal and it uses the same router (with no password) using default servers-data disabled. Phone and router have N and pc has AC wireless. Above is from Jan before the pc even existed.
