I really can't begin to tell you how much I appreciated yet another gigabyte patch...primarily because the appropriate words would violate a number of forum rules here.
STAR TREK ONLINE Our ongoing Mission:
--> To constantly seek better ships
--> To acquire and upgrade bigger weapons
--> To boldly grind what everyone has ground before.
Global average speed is 12.7 according to speedtest :P
It all depends where you live. Here in North Wales we've only had broadband for about 4 years, fiber-optic and the like is still waaaaaay in the distance time-wise. Current estimated line speed for us is only 8Mb. There are people on SpeedWave (internet epeen comparisons ) getting a download speed of 950+ Mb/s...
You know what, though. I'm happy with what we have. So what that it might take me 10 minutes to download something others can download in 2-3 minutes. Set up the download, and go and do something else for a few minutes.
But then, I remember 56kbit dial-up. Fun times, starting a download at night and getting up the next morning to a download that's STILL not finished.
I live way up in the mountains. The only broadband here is satellite. That means that I'm stuck with a monthly bandwidth cap. I have more than enough speed, but a gigabyte download is a huge chunk of my monthly allotment gone in one day. Once I hit that, they throttle me down to near dialup.

My internet is quick but it's not near GB per minute quick.
Pretty much this^^
I didn't even realise it had patched.
It's no big deal as it only took 20 minutes or so to download. I don't mind large patches.
All I know is that people who rage about large patches need to get better internet.
I mean Christ. 15 meg connections are pretty basic these days..

I have enough trouble justifying the money I already spend broadband and computer upgrades.
