Bitches!!!

[ReDVsion]

My fucking internet service down here just killed one of our lines. Why? Although I'm on an unlimited plan, it appears that these assholes think that we're actually a business. These folks have obviously never heard of a Napster addiction. This would piss me off a lot more if I was actually losing a decent connection, but I'm still mad...

It's all Chile's fault

[ReDVsion]

Not only that, but I can't download shit - everything's so fucking slow... 1.5 kb/s

[Jstalilwyrd]

Damn, that's terrible ReD. I think it's worse when the damn T3 at school doesn't want to work with your laptop. My Linksys 10/100 dongleless card can't load pages completely unless I keep trying to load it before it all comes out and hangs on downloading (i.e. Winamp hangs after downloading 62.5k, and an hour later it would still be stuck at 62.5k). Everyone else seems to have an easier time and that pisses me off.

[ReDVsion]

I think that'd be worse, too. To think that you COULD have insane d/l speeds, but somehow it's all fucked...

39.95/mo. for 768kbps DSL
39.99/mo. for cable
159.95/mo. for 1.5 mbps DSL
39.99/mo. for Hughes DirectPC

I'm spoiled with choices here, people.

DirectPC sucks.
well for games and the high ping times =P

[dj_flex_dex]

Qwest DSL service has 19.95/mo for 640kbps and for you napster fans, that means d/l speeds of up to 50 kbps

[Somebody]

the fastest I've reached on napster was around 190 kb/sec
and usually I download shit at 200 kb/sec +

I question the network architecture, ie, including dialup. that would be damn near impossible to troubleshoot. When 2 way comes out itll be a lot better but cost more I use DSL (slow kind). its good for 80 k/sec, but i can get 120/ksec combined when i have 3 d/ls goin at the same time.

well i have @Home cable connection. parents pay for it, i surf. life is good
i usually download at about 100K/s. but on napster i have gotten up to 600k/s
