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

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.
