Woohoo, my ISP is increasing speeds!

[Strygun]

Finally! Mediacom is increasing speeds from ~3Mbps to 5Mbps within 90 days.

Yeehaw! Now, if they'd only up our upload rates, I'd be super happy.

[Mag-Mower]

hehehe. kinda stupid... increase download speed, to increse the number of downloads, without increasing the bandwidth limt=you go over limit! damn corporations what with their money making schemes.

[Strygun]

mediacom has no bandwidth limit

[Fragmatic]

Needs moar FIOS.

[Corrosion]

Mine got increased from 7 to 10.

[jsloan31]

Over here, got increased from 3 to 6.5.

No noticable difference, but hey, feels good

Congrats on upgrade.

Welcome to last year stry.

I had 3010 kb/sec dl speed for a week, then a TimeWarner van showed up and said I was draining the bandwidth for the entire area... Now I get like 600 kb/sec, bah.

Man, I wish there was FIOS in Gainesville. 15/5 mbps sure do sound nice!

But I don't have a bad deal - the apartment complex I live in leases a signal off DirectTV and distributes it over the coaxial net for $45 - and they have a 10mbps fiber link of the local telco they they also distribute over coax for an extra $15. So for $15 I get 3/1 mbps, static, COMMERCIAL IP address and no restrictions on bandwidth usage or server hosting :P

[Strygun]

Yay! I d/l at ~550KB/s now.

[Mag-Mower]

i pay for 1.5 mbps and can some times get up to 3 mbps, no bandwidth limit and pretty reliable, and it costs just as much as sympatico, but about 5 times as fast and more reliable. anyways, good deal.
