Pave Low Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 the engineer has just left after installing my 50 Meg Broadband connection !!! first test .. Yeah baby!!! .... happy happy happy (not that I wasn't happy with the previous 20 Mbt and that big increase in upload speed is going to come in very handy when we have to re-upload mods to the D/L area) hmmm... now what huge massive file(s) should I now download while I laugh at the awesome download speed Damn Rocky and his "all the mods on DVD" hmmm... wonder if there are new versions of anything big or should I just re-download Frostbite again just for the hell of it haha, bring on the massive gameplay videos and patches and mods .....

dporter Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Very lucky. I enjoy living outside of the big city, but I hate the poor quality of internet service that comes with it. I dread the large 1+gig patches that world at war has but it looks like you'll slice through them like butter. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly2442 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Lucky. With all the stunts the various ISP companies have pulled here in the US, it'll probably be 5 years before we get those speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehgler_AS Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Congratulations Pave, that is really nice. If we can ever get those speeds in the US they will be come bundled with undocumented and haphazardly enforced limits on how you can actually use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 You do realise you just talked yourself into doing all the hefty mod uploads I've been putting off. And how remiss of you not to mention the biggest bonus off all, even more important than doubling your speed, NO CAPS on 50Meg! I experienced a max download this week downloading a file from a game site, 20Mbit, which was bloody fast by the way, 50 is going to be amazing. It's the upload speed increase that's amazing, and surprising though, very nice for a cable connection. I still remember reading in the cable newsgroups a few years ago Alex Brown saying that cable can't do fast upload so you can all stop asking for it. How times change.

Parabellum Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Wow, that's amazing. I'm still using 767k DSL. Ah well, what do you want for $20/month eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
