Why did you check in an Israeli server?

Cos we stole ur internets

edit

To be honest, I have no clue. There are no servers in Lebanon ^.^
Hey, did you guys know that my connection is Fiber-optic? It's pretty shitty though.

Hey, did you guys know that my connection is Fiber-optic? It's pretty shitty though.

I would highly doubt that... Your below all reason if it was fiber..

 

[Magtheridon96]

It is fiber.
Optical Fiber doesn't give you blazing-fast speeds, it's your provider that's responsible for them.
Optical Fiber only provides fast-transmission for the connection, thus allowing you to go beyond 20Mbps or so. (Transmission speeds have an affect on it)

There are 18000Km of Optical Fiber across the country and the coastline is only 220Km long (Most of the major cities are on the coast)

It allows one to go way past 20Mb, its been discussed if there even is a limit. My reason for saying what I did is that if thats your speed then your getting cheated so much I can hardly fathom it (unless your paying next to nothing for it). I am getting way better speed with old copper wires and doesn't pay much for it.

 

[The World Is Flat]

hubs and service providers still regulate speed.

 

[SA Dashie]

-----------

Well, at least my connection's stable :/

lol you use fiber and get a bad connection and I use a USB internet connection because I can't get lanline at all and yet I still get a somewhat better connection.

but the only thing that is stable about my connection is the upload speed :L.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Sounds exactly like mine DeathChef.

 

[Magtheridon96]

I'm not getting cheated, it's the entire nation. I'm in a developing country ;_;
These providers shouldn't have invested in fiber. They don't give anyone in the nation more than 8Mbps (I'm pretty confident there are private connections with much faster connections though)
And you aren't going to believe how much I pay.
The base price $16, but there's a 5GB quota and my downloads always tend to go beyond 20GB a month, so I have to pay $8.5 per extra GB D:

16$ + $8.5 * 15 = $143.5

At least $140 a month D:
And the 10 GB quota makes no difference because the base price is considerably higher D:

 

[The World Is Flat]

My situation used to be:
$49.99 /m
0.85 Mb/s Download
0.35 Mb/s Upload
5 Gigabyte download cap
$10 - $15 Dollars per gigabyte overage.
My monthly gigabyte overage: 25

Maths: $50 + (15 * 25) = $425

And that does not include my brother, who uses almost as much internet as I do, or my parents, one of which uses quite a bit.

My Current Setup:
$30 /m
0.03 - 2.15 Mb/s (Avg. 0.50) Download
0.35 Mb/s Upload
Unlimited Download Cap
Extremely Unreliable.
Percentage of time I can't load my web-browser: 35%
Percentage of life spent in frustration over sucky internet: 15%
Awesome savings: WORTH IT.
Having router be phone w/ same unlimited data plan: TOTAL WIN.

Too bad my internet sucks so much though.

 

[Magtheridon96]

:challenge-accepted:

2Mbps download speed used to cost $3000 a few years ago and $1000 in September.
Now it costs $30.

 

[SA Dashie]

this is pretty much the best connection speed I got, but the time is very inconvenient.

New test at 3:50 am .

my connection cost about 50$ for 10GB per month although the max usage that can be bought prepayed is 14GB and if I remember right it cost about 70$. Maybe I should actually get a job so I can pay for my own internet connection and maybe see if I can get a better connection (although it would probably be quiet more expensive) as my father actually didn;t research much on connection speed but instead usage to price comparence.

 

[yuvixadun]

I love living on university campus : D

 

[RED BARON]

Damn, your Internet is terrible and its capped

Mine is unlimited and if I translate the price to American dollar it costs me 53.2386 U.S. dollars per month. This includes television and phone as well.

 

[HFR]

How can a 97 mbps connection be terrible?

 

[Deolrin]

I think he's talking about the connection in the previous page.

 

[RED BARON]

How can a 97 mbps connection be terrible?

Indeed I am talking about the guy with the less than 1mbps connection, fiber...

 

[Magtheridon96]

Yeah, fuck Ogero (My provider).
Even my phone provider gives me faster internet ... wirelessly and 27x faster.

 

[SA Dashie]

It seems that my connection has changes servers again.

Indeed But thanks to you I now know what provider never to get should I ever be in the area.

 

[Edhel-dur]

How else do you figure i got so rich?

Your part of the Kennedy family.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Sidenote: When you say Kennedy, you remind me of Kentucky, and thus, I get hungry. fffuuu

On-topic
Sadly, in terms of speed, Ogero is the best :/ (Not with pings though)
I got 39ms while at my friend's dad's "Second Cup" cafe. On RGC, I have 55ms =p
In any other case, I'd have 140ms - 210ms :c

My phone gives me [1Mbps, 21Mbps]
It really depends on my location.
The pings are usually 55ms - 110ms
But in areas like ... Joe's village (;D), I'd have 550ms (fail xD)

I convinced my dad to CONSIDER changing our internet plan... and choosing another provider luckily

 

[RED BARON]

Hope you succeed then

Daelin and Hashjie have nice, respectable connections. I am rather jelly.

 

[Daelin]

Yeah well... could be better ) when I see yuvixadun's I go like "WTF?!" )

 

[Hashjie]

My upload speed is just terrible, and the fact that I'm sharing this connection with my bro, ma and pa is horrible.

Really when my bro starts downloading movies, I can sit back and wait untill my streamed tv series are done buffering after 2 hours -,-.
Damn I wish I can take all the dl speed from a campus ^.^

 

[geethk]

hi I test the speed of my internet in many sites I got the best and accurate speed results from this site scanmyspeed.com
my results are
download=1.04kbps
upload=0.77kbps
here they provide accurate and standard results.

you mean mbps right?

my results are
www.speedtest.net
download = 1.50 Mbps
upload = .19 mbps

Thats where you reroute control of your brothers pc and make it look like he is still downloading while in fact he is not and your enjoying a good show.

 

[Magtheridon96]

speedtest.com is more accurate
I got 1.06Mbps download and 0.22Mbps with scanmyspeed.com
That's totally wrong :O
I usually download at 90 - 108KBps, which is around 0.85Mbps (Exactly what I got from speedtest.com)

 

[EloTheMan]

So my mom took over our modem today and told me to use her 4G mobile instead.

Here is the result:
4G Mobile Broadband

My old Wired Connection

I'm surprised the result got that good even thou I live in a small town, and the ping is really good for mobile.
(some friends told me they are lucky to get 120-150 ping with mobile internet, but they use 3G)

4G review

Pros
-4/5 in connection (a 3G at the same spot gave 2/5)
-Good ping for a mobile
Cons
-It did not work in my USB 3.0 slot
-It gets very hot in a few minutes
-They promised 100 mbps download (not that I believed them one bit)

EDIT: It is stable enough to play online games, just a certain amount of delay.

 

[RED BARON]

Nice goes to show how good 4G is

Also a 4G WiMax connection...

 

[EloTheMan]

Also a 4G WiMax connection...

For your region its very good actually, its graded A+ to.

 

[Magtheridon96]

I wish I had 4G
We have something called 3.9G over here
It's about 20Mbps Down+Up and I've heard it's extremely stable

 

[sephiroth1234]

For your region its very good actually, its graded A+ to.

Here in Philippines, our standards here in internet connections are very low...

5Mbps Upload/Download is already rated A+ and is always said "Faster than 99% of PH"...

We have a damn low standard...

[Hashjie]

I love living on university campus : D

By the way which campus? Possibly TUDelft?

 

[The World Is Flat]

This is with my new Droid Razr Maxx

It's now getting so it ranges from 0.50 to 3 mbps... so I'm happy. Also, ping rarely gets above 200 now, so thats good.

This is on a poor 3g connection.
my phone is enabled for wimax 4g, but i doubt our local tower is getting 4g for another few years.

 

[Magtheridon96]

With 3G, I get pings between 70 and 20ms and I'm from Lebanon so that's like God-tier

I know this rich dude who has his own 40Mbps connection :O
He claims to have his own Telecommunications company to provide only private and really fast connections, but I doubt that :/

 

[Ironside]

I don't know about your country, but even 100/100 is really cheap here.
The only problem is that optic cable isn't available everywhere yet, some don't even have VDSL ability yet, so I'm stuck with 10/1 for now.

 

[The World Is Flat]

I'm In the USA.

The best we get is low capacity 3G in my entire neighborhood.

 

[SA Dashie]

it's actualy got the server pretty much right this time

It's quiet alot faster than what it usually is.

My phone internet line is dile up :3.
