I Think My ISP Upgraded My Line! Getting double the Speed!!!

[SFDMALEX]

:shock: Well this is the third day in a row, and I dont know WTF is going on. I am getting 700kb/s on my downloads. Saturday it was 500, now I check today and its 700 constant :shock:

I was at 360 for ages before, now its double :)

I hope it stays that way :)))))


BTW My ISP is rogers.

[SFDMALEX]

Oh snap, I just found out that I bumped up to extreme service. Thats 5mbps :)


Edit- :):):):):) Im getting 750 on 3 files in dap! weeeeee

[TransAm]

I get about 300k/sec on downloads for my $19 a month.

I used to get 150k/sec when I first came here (2003) for $29 a month

Same provider last 3 years, at some stage the speed doubled.

Only ever had 56k in the UK, downloaded a couple of CDs worth of MP3 at 5-6k/sec (used to leave PC on all the time). :mrgreen:

[No.1]

just to brag

1.2MB down speeds :twisted:
60K Up speed :roll:

ntl @ £34.99 p/m :roll:

[SFDMALEX]

Any Canadians on rogers you have to reset your modem so it can download the new firmware. Aprently express is bumped up to extreme and Extreme users over the next few months will be bumped up to 8mbps or something like that.

[ARMAN]

WTF? I get from almost 2mb/s to 200~250 and for doble of the price :roll: I am changing my provider!

hmm.. i think in estonia we have the smallest salaries compared to the countries where the previous posts were made. and we still pay for lots of services much more than you. 230 kb/sek d/l and 25 kb/sec upload i get for about 40 EURO per month. ok, my ISP is not the cheapest one, but not by far the most expencive either. Cheapest one on same speeds would be about 25 EURO. and theres ISP which offers same shit for 55 eur.

[Zot09]

I just got around 1mbps down/up using a measurement tool online.
Price: free :mrgreen: hahaha

Someone else from my domain was able to get 77523 down/44728 up kbits :shock:

BTW, how much do you pay for your ISP SFD?

[SFDMALEX]

50$ CAD, or 36 EUR or 43$ USD

[thekillingroad]

$39

troublesome 256Kbps.. No, not my dl speed, my connection speed! :)
:(

[TT]

Interesting :D my line doubled speed lately too ;) but I got a letter informing me about this some weeks ago. I can finally touch some 480 KB/s when the server is fine (and almost 50 in upload). But well, I pay around 50 bucks a month :roll:

Same here. Internet is very expensivre in central Europe. I pay the equivalent of 45eauros for a 2Mbit/256kbit line. Traffice is limited to 35GB per month, if I pass that point my speed will slow down to 32kbit/s, luckily that has never happened so far.

[philios55]

For me:


D/L: 500 kb/s
U/P: 50-60 Kb/s

4 Mbit Telewest Connection £30 Per month

[saadie]

congrats .. .
if my isp doubled the speed .. i would be at 8kbps :lol: :fist:

[taygunho]

My internet connection speed at home is 512kbps (3 gb limited) and d/l speed is 64KBps and it is about €17. 2mbps internet and 256KBps d/l speed (unlimited) connection is €170 in Turkey.But at school I have broadband connection (I am not sure its exact speed) my D/l speed record is 1.3 Megabyte per second and my average d/l speed is abput 300-400 Kilobyte per second If I am not wrong in japan 10Mbps speed internet costs €43.

[yg60m]

When you are well located in France (not small village like me :? ) you can have a 24 Mbit/ 1 Mb line for 30 €/month. I have a 512 k connection for this price and I am happy as I was on 56 k not far ago ...

[SFDMALEX]

Well I think Ill upgrade to a new service. It will be 6mb but they are supposed to increase to 8 sometime soon. For 3$ more monthly.

[Toronto]

yes i know lots of people that have extreme, it is good, but it really slows down during peek hours for them,

also rogers allways likes playing around with their ports and block stuff you can't upload as fast or download as fast from 'some' places, but there are ways around it.
