I finally upgraded my 256k and I am tripping out at the 220 kb/s speeds I'm getting on this torrent!! Infact, I'm so excited I decided to demonstrate my joy to you all with my excessive amount of exclaimation points!!!!1!11!!!one1!1oneone!11!!!!!

the only thing fast internet speeds are good for on the web is streaming video and huge download files. other than that your internet experience will be the same, just a little faster

soooooooo like Hulu.com is good for american TV shows. you've already discovered torrents....

the only thing left would be what buckaroo said

Hey, I've had 256k the past year and its a big deal to me. 6 times faster means no more month-long downloads, no more constant singleplayer gaming to conserve on bandwidth for a download, Steam actually works for me now, I can actually talk on Ventrilo... If you think about it, I have loads to be excited about, more bandwidth = more possiblities and less time wasted. Don't judge me because Im 14, you try living with dial-up for years and you'll see what Im all about.

Sorry to cut your excitement but I too live in the mountains in a small town but not too far from a major city and i can get ADSL2+ at about 18mbps which is about 2mb per second.

You see, I live quite far from any major city. I am getting the best out here at the moment, I'm a 30 minute drive from the nearest town.

I'm safe from zombehs dun worry.

I live on a lake and I can float out into the middle with days worth of food and wait until they leave....if they ever get here. If they don't go, I can take my truck up to Glacier Park and hide up in the pass to Canaidia with many others and hold them off for many weeks due to the narrow roads and my oversupply of shotgun ammo... If all else fails, act gay and scare them away......

And if I lived any closer to the end of the "grid" I wouldn't have internetz at all :( The IP on this compooter is not registered in my name so I have nothing to fear until I go live on my own...then the pr0nx has to go :p

I still have 256. I had 1.5, but they downgraded me, those a***oles.

How much do you pay a month?

I pay 20$ mo I think due to the CenturyTel bundling deal.

See, I have CrapTel, too. I pay 31.50 a month for, get this, 256k.

I ordered 1.5mbps two years ago. They downgraded me and told me they never offered 1.5 in my area.

I just want to strangle those people.

Haha, I feel sorry for you and your inability to pirate games because of slow speeds :shiftyninja: ...

Really, companies can be bullsh*t that way. Told you they never offered it in your area when you had it for a period of time?! That makes absolutely no f**king sense.... haha, get ur satellite TV and phone from them and they take off like 40$ off your bill.

For now, I'm jsut going to shuv it in your face that I have 1.5megs before you :p jk

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
