I'm only on a 50kb plan sadly :( $50 a month with phone line bundled.

Oh :/ Excuse my stupidity.

It still annoys me that we have such a pathetic upload in the UK. Carboy's is much better.

That's just Virgin being tight pocketed. As soon as BT roll out their fibre network more, Virgin will increase their upload speeds to match that of BT or just a bit higher.

Great, only 10 years to wait!

 

It's not just Virgin (I'm not trying to defend them, they are far from saints), the whole lot of them (outside of business) are tight. No one in the thread from the UK has a decent upload.

About average for my BT connection, I guess.

You are joking me..right? :ill:

 

Then its truth when they say we have some of the most cheap internets in portugal, and hey, great service

for 50€ you can get 200mb Optic Fibre lol.........

I have 12Mb internet(at least i pay for it) and my internet costs around 20€ per month with telephone included!

 

Notice the slower than 53% of PT^^

Not bad but I only pay £5 a month so who cares :p

I pay $160/75 pounds a month and this is what I get.

 

 

Compared to some others, the speed is not too bad but the price, well that's in it's own league.

 

The ping is a bit worrying though. It did take ages to load up...

[t.]

That price is basically... criminal. I pay £30 a month.

 

 

Figures should be better but there's 2 Xbox's on at the moment.

Austin the Ping can also be the router's fault incase its crappy.

When my new internet was installed (12Mb) they installed a Pirelli router, and i had a huge load of PING on online games and servers, and i thought what the hell..better internet, same ISP, cant be the internet line's fault. so tested with my older router, a D-Link, and ping came back to normal :)

[t.]

It may have more to do with the server being 1350 miles away, compared to the rest of us who are mainly sub 100 miles.

[AustinDB9]

Patch you are right with the router. It's a crummy ISP provided one so that wouldn't be helping with my ping. I'm getting a new, proper one in a week or so.

 

Not really sure why it picked up the Adelaide server which as you said is millions of miles away. It should have picked up one that is about 150 I'm guessing. Oh well :p

This was earlier this morning...

 

This was 3 min ago.

[Fear Deer]

Both my routers are ISP Crummy routers, but the first one, D-Link is actually nice!
