So you could just use that for your main connection, or shell out $$$ for a normal home plan from verizon/att or whoever

speeds will be faster than your dsl connection for sure, for gaming it will be worse ofc.

Get a yagi

look for open wifi

procede to better internet

gonna have to break our contract, but if its not working for me..well then its not working..soon as I land my job im going cox or comcast..

I'm moving soon too into an apartment complex with FIOS :D Goodbye Qwest and your 1.5mbps speeds, couldn't be happier to be rid of you. Granted not many people besides myself are very active online (the most bandwidth intensive thing any of my live-ins do is YouTube and Hulu, and they're usually not around anyway) but that's still no excuse to have to put up with speeds satellite internet can match.

4 mbps is slow? I'm not sure what the maximum speed is with my connection, but when I'm downloading things, I never get more than 1.5-2 mbps tops. And I do plenty of online gaming, with zero lag.

you sure you are not getting confused with Mb/s and MB/s?
your browser tells you your speeds in MB/s
ISPs rate in Mb/s
so his max theoritical dl is 500 kB/s

Maybe I am confused, then. What's the difference between a capital and a lower case b?

Not great here, but guess it depends on the tier service one pays for.

my results. These are my throttled speeds. I already used up my 2.5gb of regular 3g ussage.

Yeah, and in case you don't know 1 Byte = 8 bits. So a 4Mbit connection is only 0.5MB/s download

I had no idea that Lynx still existed, let alone had people using it!

A normal local connection. £11.50 a month and due to be increased to 120Mb/s sometime in the next 6 months, unlimited use and no large file capping.

Not too bad considering I'm outside Glasgow in Scotland and the server is in Wellington, New Zealand. Can't get one much further away :)
