man the upload is crap but . . .

**Drools** the download speed is ok

 

[MichaelD]

IIRC, a T1 is 1.5MB/s up and down, right? Hardly worth $400/mo. But, it's the LEVEL of service you're paying for. 99.99% guaranteed uptime, blah, blah.

But yeah, your download speeds kicks ass. I have a 512KB/s DSL connection and top out at a positively BLAZING 42KB/s DL on a good day.

har har

 

[mcvickj]

oh my :shocked: !

looks like I'm not as special as I thought, but 18mb is definitely a step up from 1mb cable back home

Man, that upload is weak. Must be trying to kill the file sharing that way.

Just wait til everyone moves in and are downloading all of their mp3s that pipe will be down to a crawl soon enough. Now if you dorm during the summer, you will be amazed at what you can download at.

F.F.S., go outside. Girls. Bikinis. You can putter around on an internet connection after you graduate, but you'll never see that many hot, available, attainable women in one place again.

:roll: everyone's sleeping and hungover in the morning. going out is for the evening.

not worth it, if you are living in a dorm you are blocked from doing anything.

I still prefer to live at home with the rents instead of a dorm.

Mb/s, not MB/s. Even worse.

same here, but in the research labs, the packet shaper isnt on so I get a full 30/10.

Comcast 6mbps isnt too bad here either. I get 24499kbps dn and 360kbps up according to speedtest. This is comcast with probably some power boost thing.

Working for the university kicks more ass
