Thank you. I will download & check it out in a few days once my download limit has renewed.

Unlimited taht i know of, its 12down/7up i think (i know the twelve is right) BUT being about 350~miles away from the "base" ISP i get 150-170kb/s SO ya.. But its still good enough for gaming and web cam. Some probs I see are when my lil sis is on a FUCK FILLED FLASH barbie site and i start lagging in the game. Other than that good. I did get a slight restriction i think when i finished a 4.0GB download JUST after 1.8GB

Qwest FTW

This is what I'm actually getting. Good enough for most things though.
EDIT: Huh, got 0.93 upload when I tried it with Colorado Springs. 5.11 down though.

Wow, that's a lot slower than I would have thought. It says I'm only about 10% the ISP average.

EDIT: One minute later I was twice as fast.

and this is after rogers just said they upgraded my speed.

Of course I'm on a 6 year old laptop right now with a jerry rigged wireless connection. God damn I gotta get my own computer back.

My home internet is much less impressive than my work.

At work I was running some throughput tests. Each test involved downloading 14 GB which took about four minutes.

I'm paying for "up to" 1.5 Mb/sec, but I get about 256kb/sec at peak (not too bad for $30/month). I haven't run into any bandwidth cap yet, but with VZW buying up Qwest, I think that's going to change soon.

Huh.

All things considered, I'm pretty content with this - I'm too lazy to torrent, and patient enough to buffer up videos; I don't notice much lag in MUMORPUGERs or online shooters.

This is odd....usually in my dorm I can get 60 down, but right now it's struggling to get over 1Mb/s down. Getting 2.6 up though. Probably because exams are coming up so everybody's in on their computers.

EDIT: Tried it to Truro instead of Preque Isle, and, umm...
