Title: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: KGB on September 26, 2005, 02:57:59 pm I was wondering what your ISP is, how much bandwith you have
and what you pay for it ? I'm on Telenet Cable, I get 6.6 MB down and 512kb and I have to pay a wopping 51 € for that. Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: BFG on September 26, 2005, 03:24:12 pm 6.6 MB down... and surely you mean 512kb up? 512 Mb up would be... well insane!
I'm currently with Blueyonder (UK ISP) paying £25 (get the phone connection from them so its 25 rather than £30 for the net) for which i currently get a theoretical 1MB D and 128 Up connection. (oh yeah - its unlimited transfer as well which is um... well vital!) That said got a letter through the post day before yesterday, services is getting upgraded to 4MB down and 312kb Up (or 300 and something!) which is nice... problem is being Cable it slows down the more people sign up to the service in the area. Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: KGB on September 26, 2005, 03:33:31 pm Yeah I can host rooms up to 250 ppl ;)
hehe I stand corrected BFG it is indeed 512kb up. Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on September 26, 2005, 03:35:01 pm I use a company called Cable One that is only located in the Southeastern United States. I get 3 MB Down and 512k Up for about $30 U.S. a month (pretty cheap). They are about to upgrade the service to 6 MB Down for no extra charge.
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: *DAMN Mauti on September 26, 2005, 03:38:24 pm I use http://www.chello.at (http://www.chello.at/Produkte/Angebote/Wien/) and have 2Mbit down and 256kbyte up and unlimited data transfer for 49€. At all I use a triple package: cable TV, Phone and Internet for €72
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: th.Sentinel on September 26, 2005, 06:39:42 pm I have the same ISP as KGB ;D
But I got 10Mbps down and 512Kbps up. 4 dynamic IP's. Datalimit upto 30 GB/month down, 4,5 GB/month upstream. 59,95€ /month We got Chello here in Belgium aswell, you can get 20 Mbps down, 2 Mbps up for 99,95€. 80GB/month datatransfer limit... But only a few cities can get Chello and mine isn't one of 'em. >:( I would take it the second its available here. Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Civrock on September 26, 2005, 07:13:01 pm Comcast, Cable - 8MB down, 768kb up - no datalimits at all. ;D
I pay $55/month, and they recently upgraded it for free from 6MB to 8MB. There are rumours that they're going to upgrade it again soon and then the upload speed also. :D Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Steef on September 26, 2005, 08:17:57 pm Getting 20Mbps down and 1 Mbps up, by the end of 2005, just €24,99 per month. Cheap! :)
It's currently 4Mbps down and 512Kbps up, same price... (There is a so called "speed-war" in our country, 2 major providers 'fighting' for the best price/speed, that's why it's so cheap) Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Croosch on September 26, 2005, 10:57:47 pm Frontier communications dsl service. 3mb down and 512kb up... my mom works for them so I get it for $10/month.
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: X1|MARCO on September 27, 2005, 05:51:39 pm Here in Oklahoma, COX Cable is the monopoly IP. $39.00/month for cabletv and high speed. They claim it is 5 Mbps downstream and 387k up but actuall testing shows 5 Mbps translates to about 3.5, sometimes 4.
MARCO Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: BFG on September 27, 2005, 07:51:30 pm 1 MB over here translates to a top out of 108kb ... don't even mention real upload speeds ;)
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Ethion on September 27, 2005, 09:56:52 pm Chello cable here !
24 mb/s down and 8 mb up. And the cost is 512 swedish kr, which is 65 dollars or 54 Euros. Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: HoloGram_1 on September 27, 2005, 11:18:07 pm www.Skytron.de
It is a regional provider here in the south west of Germany. I have 2MB UP/DOWN - no external IP - Trafic limitation to 5 GB per month - wich is enough for me. 49 EUR / Month I will change to a more cheap 2mbit up / 256 down with no limitation and an own IP in a few weeks. 30 EUR / month. My problem is that I can't have DSL here - So I use this radio wave technologie by Skytron. Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: jerkasaur on September 28, 2005, 09:19:38 am Comcast cable in, Olympia washington 4 Mb down, 512k up

... and to think your putting all that lovely speed to waste by not getting a big fat server up and running for us! :( Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: KGB on September 29, 2005, 07:03:57 pm How about an Ethion BF server 24/7 and giving me admin power over it ?

And I don't give a rat::ass:: (no offence pink rat :P) Either way, when i'm out here. I'll probably still have a better internet then you Joka, Civic or who ever. P.S.

Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Brutha on October 05, 2005, 10:38:21 am Funny how Ethion has the best connection, and people go right on a jealous rampage of flaming. Mature guys, really mature. Sweden has the best coverage when it comes to ISP's in the world, Cheap connections and insane speeds. I'm just curious though, to all of those who spammed insults, who's paying for your connection?
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Civrock on October 05, 2005, 12:43:38 pm And here comes Brutha, the guy who feels more mature than everyone else... and doesn't recognize sarcasm and humor. ::) We were just teasing Ethion.
I'm paying for my connection myself, out of my own pocket, from my own paychecks. Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Brutha on October 05, 2005, 06:49:48 pm Funny how sarcasm doesn't always come out as you want it when in text form, and do you ever question if the reader that the sarcasm was intended for actually understood the sarcasm?
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Civrock on October 05, 2005, 06:54:19 pm Yes, but I know Ethion. He knows that we, or I for that matter, are just messing with him.
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Brutha on October 05, 2005, 07:19:15 pm He knows? his posts aren't exactly making that clear for people who don't know him, but you might be right for all I know...
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Ethion on October 05, 2005, 08:54:14 pm Yes, but I know Ethion. He knows that we, or I for that matter, are just messing with him.

Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Ethion on October 05, 2005, 09:43:30 pm I wonder if you are the mature person who told me to fuc off, and then go offline on iChat..
Who could that be... paikuhan@mac.com some person without a life ? Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on October 05, 2005, 09:52:46 pm who's paying for your connection? I pay for my own connection...but then I'm on the OTHER end of the food chain...you know, the parent. So it's me paying for the internet that my wife and daughter get to use for free. ;) Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Brutha on October 05, 2005, 09:58:46 pm Well, yeah...hmm, ok...I got owned there...and I'm pretty sure Weak pays for his own connection too ;D

Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: BFG on October 06, 2005, 01:30:51 pm well i pay for most of my connection to f*ckers ;) im sure someone has a much faster connection than Ethion though, come on brutha didn't u have a shockingly fast beast of a connection?
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Civrock on October 06, 2005, 01:40:55 pm That's his (as in the one he's going to) university's connection. :P
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: BFG on October 06, 2005, 01:45:37 pm nope that wasn't the one i was referring to... im talking about the one @ home plugged into his god damn iMac G5! Grrr
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Ethion on October 06, 2005, 02:02:30 pm Even if it is a university connection, doesn't mean that the he has the whole line for himself.. So maybe a 1-2 mb at most?
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: crypt on October 06, 2005, 09:24:46 pm My internet is probably the slowest of anyone on GR. It's like I have 55.99999K. It's quite ridiculous when the only cable company in your area charges these insane prices for shitty speeds. Fucking monopolies. It's like 49.99 a month. (US)
Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Brutha on October 07, 2005, 09:30:59 am I've been on my own connection for a year or so, an 8mb line.....which I do pay for myself.
and Ethion, when I did use the university connection, I had the whole 10mb line for myselfs, because 1. The office had a full 10mb connection, 2. I was alone, or with Buddha when it was used for gaming. And we did check it ;) Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: BFG on October 07, 2005, 12:21:31 pm whats your upload connection brutha?
While we're at it are people talking about theoretical ul/dl speeds, or actual real life performance... because if its real life i get a top out of 118kb dl and about 4kb ul! Title: Re: What internet provider do you guys use ? Post by: Civrock on October 07, 2005, 02:31:58 pm As posted, I have 768kb up, and that equals about 90kb/s real upload speed.
