Is this fast?

Post by Hammer »

I'm getting 1mbit Down DSL and 128 upstream, is that pretty fast? it's all that I can get.

I think it's 128 upstream, anyway. I am paying $30 a month for it and was curious as to if i'm getting a good deal.

Hammer, stop gloating. You know damn well that's fast. Just because you've got better crap than others doesn't mean you have to wave your dick around with a ruler in hand for those who doubt you.

That said, I've got 1.5 mbps down 384 kbps up so me > the hell out of you, chuckles.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Listen shit-bird, I know jack shit about DSL or broadband for that matter since I've NEVER EVEN HAD IT. The company near me finally brought in DSL and said the only thing available is 1mbit down and 128 upstream, I don't know how fast "128" is compared to what I have now.

If anything you have an inferiority complex and feel that somebody asking a simple tech question about something they don't know shit about is in some way "waving their dick around."

Also for your information dick stroker, I have not posted my specs at all even when Smiley asked me to just to avoid being considered a show off. I posted them once or twice when I was ASKED and never at any other time, so pull your head out of your ass and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Yeah, I'm currently on 56k so that is pretty slow. Much like yourself.

Quit pouting, Hammer, it's just not you. Incidentally, everyone knows that Canadian DSL actually rocks the hizzy, allowing us unfettered access to moosecock.com.

TEH PHAT LEWT IS MIEN AND NO-1 ELSEZ!

Spazmo: How is what I am doing pouting? I asked the question and you came in like a 14 year old drama-queen and made a federal case out of something. Instead of being a douche bag maybe you could have answered my question on how fast that actually is to like a 56k or something that I currently have.

I looked on the website and it has a stupid bar that only shows download speed not upload.

Ironically, it appears that everyone who has posted so far had better crap then Hammer's "better crap".

1 MBit is somewhat standard now... When I'm moving over to my new apartment I'm living next to a company, and I'll share their 48Mbit connection.... now *that's* fast.

A bit faster if I remember right...

Lewl. SBC is hosting their DSL out of 2 condos in my town. I now must move directly above them. Then, I can drill a hole through my floor, and connect a Gigabit LAN to their server, thus giving me a grand total of.... 1000 times faster than DSL!

EDIT: T1's actually go at about 1.5 Megabytes, not 1.5 megabits. Atleast, that's how fast one of my shool's T1s goes at. Funny, how easy it is to convince a techie to set one of them solely for our use in the CAD lab. The school thinks we need radeon 9600 pros, DDR-333, and P4-2.2s for CAD. They dont even notice that Battlefield 1942- SWoW, RtC Wolfenstein, and DoD are installed...

At my old ISP job I only had 100mbit i-net thanks to my local network. That speed was only 100mbit. Too bad...
