Yep, and then the "fast" modems came out, 56K shit...man, atleast half an hour per music file - I mean 6kb/sec was fast Laughing and u usually needed to have an ISDN 128k line to get 6kb/sec

I love broadband Smile

Just make sure there are no hidden caps. I know many people with the same type of connection in europe, and australia, and most ISP's put a 10GB transfer cap on the line. So in reality all that speed is turned worthless by the cap.

Yeah, I'll add d
d) You are a 25 years old geek who has more email addresses than friends. You spend your life infront of your monitor posting useless posts in NFOrce where you can be with your best e-friend Inj.

Deffinetly d.

Go outside man, It's 3D out there!

And I agree, stop being a dick, if u wanna bitch to/about me, create a thread in the useless void and stop with bullshit....

Seriously, do you expect Inj to suck off your dick or something?

Injur has challenged u, i have, yet u still try to flex ur "e-muscles" Laughing

Really ? Inj you challenged me ? Is that why Inj was "busy" every day for a month now ?


About Hitman: Movie (2007)
Vin Diesel is a hardcore gamer, and absolutely loves the Hitman series. For that reason I have faith that he wont destroy the movie.

Response: Well, Uwe Boll probably loved the Alone in the Dark games.

Like I told you, baby.
Weekends aren't great for me...
If you want… this Friday for me seems... doable?
Only thing I've got planned is a bottle of tequila and some Thai.

I’m sure I can squeeze you in for a cup of coffee at country style… nineish?

Blueyonder is my isp Chinup. I'm a Geordie so you're well away from guessing I'm a Southerner.


Thats what I'm getting from a news group give or take a few k. Generally though it's over 900k a sec and it hardly goes lower than that from the Giganews server.

Not at all. There's a BIG difference from waiting 1 hour and 3 hours than there is of waiting 15mins or 1 hour. I only d/l when i'm asleep and at college which is usually 12 hours of every day. I never d/l that much but its there and wont effect me at all Smile The only thing i'd like is a faster upload speed but ya cant have everything. Also..... like Ollax said he's gettin 100mb, you boastin about 10mb is hardly worthwhile when a lot of users here also exceed it Smile

my pipe is bigger than your pipe ..

same as, I would like to have a higher upload rate .. because I would make use of it .. but higher down would be pretty redundant .. I don’t really need a faster down speed myself ..

Mediacom here in the usa is offering a 10mbit and 1mbit premium service. Their normal service is 5mbit and something like 512kbit up. Not sure what the cost difference is but nice to know that they are offering such speed now. It be sick to have a 125kbyte upload. Very Happy
