HOLY SHIT COMCAST
Nikaido:
This thread gave me the idea to test my speed. Since this ISP just got put into the complex several months ago.
Oh man. I now know my ISP bites the big one. I'm spending $70 a month for this piece of shit. Best download speed I can get with a torrent with a lot of seeders is 180KB/s. I'd change over to something else but this is the only ISP the apartment complex allows. Fucking Broadstar! >:(
And not 5 minutes after I did the test, my internet went out and had to restart the modem.
[EDIT] After some research the company who supplies the internet for this complex (Broadstar) actually rents the signal from Grande Communications, and uses their lowest connection. But they supply it to us for $20-$30 more than the original price. ASSHOLES!

Do they supply lube with that, or do you have purchase your own?

The place gets faster internet but who knows the place controls on the bandwidth since its sharing off one signal. If you have a phone line where you live you should consider DSL over that. The speeds will be faster for you
Mag-X:
Seriously, my dad lives in the middle of nowhere Texas and gets 6Mb/s DSL.
Nikaido:
Had DSL which I got very good DL speeds with. The place was called Rioplex and was the original company that was only allowed in the complex, then they switched to these guys. And if I were to go with someone else they can terminate the lease and throw me out on my ass, so...
I'll hang in there until I move to Houston this summer.
