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.

30 minutes form the nearest town?

shouldn't you be, you know, living off the grid so they can't find you.... :shiftyninja:

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

    • You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event.

Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter.

They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function.

The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery.
