Argh, this is the second time they've severly ----ed up the lines in this area...I get so much static that my connection's been reduced from 49~80 kbps to about 5 Kbps. :angry2:

It's hard for me to believe that my connection hasn't had any major problems in over a month.

Broadband wouldn't help me any since the only available broadband in this area is Cloud 9, Earthlink, and a few others, all running on Verizon lines. :mad:

BTW, I'm getting lag every 5-10 seconds, and it lasts from 10 ms to 2minutes.

Using bt openworld adsl in the uk I can do 100mb in 30 minutes. Is that any good?

a 600mb takes me hmm 45-1 hour. I'm on cable. 1 Way cable. so right now my download is around 1300kbps and upload is around 20kbps. 2 way is around 3400kbps and 128k up

In the morning [at school of course, when only few are around...the true nerds :D], my bandwidth is about 3250 kbps down, 2200 kbps up.

Dual T1s plus Cable [why they installed that too is beyond me, one of the T1s comes from the nyc board of ed]

The T1 is probably capped by MSI.

600 mb files generally take about two weeks for me to finish. :cool:
