Maes Posted July 22, 2013 EDGE "broadband" internet here (pre-3G), with a 5 Eur/1 GB prepaid plan. That's what I've been using the last 4 months, as it's too much of a commitment risk and a bureaucratic iter to get a normal landline. Location detection also fails big time, as I'm nowhere near Athens (just the telco's server that takes care of data traffic is). Basically it's like having 4 dial-up/GPRS connections in parallel. I won't be winning any ZDaemon deathmatches with those pings anytime soon, but 'm surprised that it was possible to have a somewhat fluid Skype conference (with video, too!). 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted July 22, 2013 Oh good, a bump. Well Maes, since I've moved house, I'll leave you with the title of slowest DW internet. I've never seen numbers this high before.. I actually clocked 2.93 on a Berlin server. What will it take to get to 3!? 0 Share this post Link to post
Ledillman Posted July 22, 2013 That's normally cool, but no one is with wi-fi in my house, so it's pretty 'fast' today... 0 Share this post Link to post

You at least have a faster upload speed than my IINET connection from 4 years ago, when I was the slowest on the forum. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shadow Hog Posted September 13, 2013 Sure, I'll chip in. I just recently moved out of my parents' basement, which meant I have to start paying for my own Internet. I decided to splurge a little bit. Old: New: In spite of the insane speeds, most websites can't keep up the pace, so it feels pretty similar to what I'd already had. The websites that can though, well, they load practically instantly. It's great. 0 Share this post Link to post
Acid Posted September 13, 2013 Dear god that is fast. And for kicks, me to Russia. Turns out I did the same thing months ago. Funny thing is that I picked Russia then as well. Bell sucks. For fun, here's a server in Russia: 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted January 11, 2014 Just trying out a X200 USB "3G" modem I found at a flea market FWIW, I'll mention that using mobile broadband for internet access results in hilarious mistakes in "user geolocation", which shows why IP-based location is not a reliable method. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted January 11, 2014 Wow, we've cracked 3! We did it Gromit! Bournemouth is definitely more than 50 miles. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted January 12, 2014 I moved one step closer to optical fibre on Friday, it's now a matter of deciding how fast I can afford to go then arrange for the Network Termination Device to be installed. Broadband's still fairly expensive in Australia so it's unlikely I'll be signing up for the full 100/40Mb. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted January 12, 2014 It's incredible what benefits switching to 3G brings...for one, ZDaemon actually gets playable ;-) Turned out I had a SIM card from another operator I never used, and which happened to have 600 MB free traffic per month AND 3G coverage, and I missed it all this time O_o 0 Share this post Link to post
Nuxius Posted January 15, 2014 The sad thing is that my cell phone data connection is faster than this. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sokoro Posted January 15, 2014 WHAT? that is much faster than I expected... cool to have this only for $15 per month. Why do I have 0ms to Prague? (50miles) is it bugged? To London: I do not uderstand why is the upload so enormous when connecting to the London.. It seems that most of commercial ISP provide much slower upload than download for its users.. how sad.. my upload is almost always on par with my download.. and then there is even this weird case when it is three times bigger. 0 Share this post Link to post
