Woot - Just Upgraded Internet Connection!!!1

[Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 0 Arc User
edited April 2013 in Off Topic
After I accidently deleted NWO while cleaning out my computer, I decided to upgrade my internet connection speed.

I was getting between 500kb/s up to 1mb/s.

My new speed is 3mb/s up to 7mb/s!! Not the fastest, but I'm sure I'll notice a download speed increase. Just gotta wait until 8am for the ISP to activate the upgrade.

p.s. - I'm also a YouTube addict, so I'll be lovin' the video quality increase!!

:cool:

    Congrats :)

    I remember when I first went from a 1mb/sec line to my 20mb/sec line. I have to admit for the first 24 hours I was just downloading random stuff to test the speed xD

    Now I'm waiting for my area to finally upgrade, so I can get my 100mb/sec line :)

    This be my internet connection speed. It is considered above average by Latvian standards, the highest internet speed you can get here is 200Mb/s.
    I remember how I had to sell 50-100Mb/s internet connection. Ah, the good old days. :D

    I'll be dead lol. I can't even get FiOS where I live. There's one cable option, which is 7Mbps. Supposedly I can upgrade this to 20Mbps, if I want to pay $110 per month for cable TV too.

    TBH 7Mbps is plenty for me. I can game while someone is watching Netflix. If I have to wait overnight for a 3GB game client download once in a while, so be it...

    Most MMO games use 56kbps for their traffic while running (at least the ones that don't melt down with 1000 users connected). The important parameters with a gaming connection are the ping time and packet loss. 7Mbps is overkill for anything but downloadin' and honestly? This game client is the first thing I've downloaded in months.
