Angel Blue01 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 My family's got 6Mbps down (AT&T), 150KBps down sounds awful but its certainly good enough for Web surfing, Google Earth and Youtube (one at a time :p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neufuse Veteran Posted August 25, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 25, 2008 Road Runner? isn't that 6Mbit cable around there? if it is, keep it, 1.5Mbit is about 4x slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temple_treefrog Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm on a ADSL2+ service (8Mbps downstream/1Mbps upstream). I get about 150GB for about $70AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhon Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 1.5 was fast in 1999-2001. I'm on a ADSL2+ service (8Mbps downstream/1Mbps upstream). I get about 150GB for about $70AU. My friend had two ADSL lines back in the day for his game servers. I remember it being very smooth and when I went home to my dsl it felt like crap lol.

kingroach Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Its time warner/Road runner lite.. I would call them ask about the cap.. The roadrunner lite is supposed to have 4GB cap and overages if you pass the cap. Even with 1.5Mbps, its really easy to pass 4GB cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJenkins Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I used to work for RR, 1.5 is RR Lite and as far as I'm aware there is no cap on it, there is no cap on any of their packages....at least not in the market I was in. RR Tiers are: Lite - 1.5mbps Standard - 7mbps Plus (must have 2 digital services) - 10mbps Digital Combo (must have 3 digital services) - 15mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm on a ADSL2+ service (8Mbps downstream/1Mbps upstream). I get about 150GB for about $70AU. Damn, wish the exchange near where I live was ADSL2+ enabled (which it isn't). I got the fastest speed you can get around my area, 1.5Mbps :p and I'm paying a fortune for it. Still 1.5Mbps isn't that bad, if you download alot (which I don't) it's painfully slow but if you just surf and only download a little bit, it's fine.

Fuzzymath Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The thing to consider is the fact it's only $17 a month. Right now I'm paying $40 for x8 time that speed. If I wasn't doing heavy downloading, gaming and using VoIP (at the same time) it'd do fine. Email, Web, some gaming; it'd do fine for the price.

yottabytewizard Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm over 20 mbps by ADSL on Mexico, but it really depends on your browsing style. If you download a lot of stuff obviously you will notice the difference, however if you just surf the net on a regular basis, you won't even notice the difference.

8 Bit Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 i think it doesnt matter what people think... it depends on yourself the user if you require a faster connection and depending on the things you do over the internet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i||uSi0n^ Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 lol orignal post dates 2008...but anyways still even for that time 1,5Mbps was very slow...in 2007 we already had adsl2+ with 24Mbps down/3Mbps Up, unlimited trafic for 39,99? and since 2009 i have 100Mbps down/5Mbps up, unlimited trafic for 59,99? per month (in Brussels/Belgium).

cacoe Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I get about 5mbit on my line and I think that's slow. So no, it's not fast. Sometimes my line struggles to stream HD content. That's my personal benchmark, if it streams HD footage, it's good enough. Anything better is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It is considered slow by today's standards, however $16 is VERY cheap. I have 7mbps cable but I'm looking into FTTH options that are supposed to roll into my neighborhood soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
