I use cox communications here in vegas. For 3 years we have been at 5mb/768k up. which was pretty decent. got an email today stating they are set to upgrade in 3 weeks, too 10mb downstream/1mb upstream

not bad!! i said.

what are all you running on? especially stateside?

i know some european companies are pushin 27mb in germany i beilive.

10 is about to become the new standard. The laws are changing to allow other companies (Such as verizon) to come in and compete with fiber. I have 15 which is an upgrade on my cable conn. My parents have 30 down for just a little bit more on Verizon.

I'm runnin 3 with Charter Cable - does it make a difference BF2 wise if you bump up to 10 (charter now offers it)

I've got Comcast here in FL.  It's a bit squirrelly though. A few Internet connection problems.  But for the most part is OK. I've got the "gamer package"  8megs but at best I've only seen 6.4...

If I could afford 80 bucks a month, I'd go with cox.

https://www.bethere.co.uk/ This will be in my area soon - I cant wait

My 56k v.90 FTW

I have the Verizon FIOS. I signed up for 10mb, but I think I got 5mb as the pricing is low and my speed tests cap there, downloads cap at 630k. It's plenty for me right now. I'm moving in 2 months and all the have where I'm going is SBC DSL that they say gets 3 to 6 mbs. Sad times for me coming up, as BF2 might have to go if my pings go to hell.

i use ntl in the uk my speed is 4mbps and 550k i dont mind it nice and cheap too.

damn that is cheap. what is thiat 30 us dollor?

im paying i think 49.99, thats because we have basic cable. otherwise its 60

seeing how s.korea and china are booming and EU with ever higher connections. hopefully the US will start to take the lead again in the next few years..after all this mess in the middle east pans out

and corporate bigwigs like bellsouth get there assholes out of the shitter.

and screw the RIAA also. they are pushing to keep speeds low, in fears of piracy. well piracy is at a all time high suckas!

what the US needs is a more indepentend competive factor. i.e smaller companies popping up everywhere to lower prices and increase line deployment. and educations on the facts of the web today. that daddys 56 k just cant cut anymore

Tesco Broadband.. expensive, slow, and unreliable... but its the same story with all UK DSL providers.

Also the fact that wired ethernet modems don't exist on this island makes it even worse. I destroyed the "free" modem I got from Tesco.. just because it was being a bitch to me. I had to buy another USB DSL modem.. and got charged waaay too fuckin much. But everything's overpriced in the UK.
