They screwed up, you're paying for it. Welcome to the real world. :shifty:

I think you hit the nail on the head. I have been saying for quite a while that they have to be adding more and more without upgrading their servers. How else can it be that they always slow to a crawl in the late afternoon/early evening?

That's why I download most things at work and stick them on a usb stick to take home! :D It reckons that at 4.74 Mb/s it'll take just 23 mins to download a 800 MB movie - and yet when I download a game smaller from Steam it takes several hours? :nope:

I think there's a 100GB monthly cap on this connection, "inherited" it from my landlord so I'm not entirely sure :woot:

That's very good!

I'd probably be already dead before my ISP offers such speed at reasonable price.

20Mbps would cost US$225 here :damn:

I refer the right honourable gentleman to my previous post, now edited with my shameful home speeds. You ain't got it so bad :yep:

Capping and charging money per GB transferred is so 80's and 90's. Welcome to Finland. I currently have unlimited 24 Mbps for about $7.5 a month.

pay about 60 fixed price, including TV, Phone and the Internet. Plus extra line for fax. But i received a new modem from provider with the explanation my current modem could not keep up with the speed build up on the net. Still have to do so... :oops:
