Meh. It'll have to do.

How do you guys get such great download speeds. I'm supposed to be on 100 Mb/S.

So much for Comcast "Crappy" Cable.

Are you using your own modem? I think you need 16 x 4 to get the big speeds. If that makes no sense, then I've got it confused. Anyway, my personal modem is 8 x 4 and it limits me to 110 Mbs or so. If I use the cable company modem or buy a 16 x 4, I'll get 300Mbs. It took months to squeeze that info out of my ISP.

It's ridiculous actually, I have no use for this kind of speed most days, it's actually the 2nd fastest with this provider, the top one is twice this speed at 1Gb per sec. I'm going to downgrade to 250mbs in a month or so.

I use the modem that my cable company gives me.

I wasn't even aware that I had a choice.

Hey Man, I'm from Dublin originally, I remember the days of using a 14k modem in my shitty bedsit in Rathgar, would take hours to load a page of plain text. Although net speeds have increased a bit now when I visit the folks.

Did not check the latest prices but for 1Gbit/s you'd pay a fortune in Germany - in any case much more than about 100 Euro your provider wants (or similar for the other speed/contracts).

Ah cool... I know Rathgar well. I've emigrated down to Kildare.

. Lots of peace and quiet.

Man, when I lived in Sandyford about 11 years ago now, you couldn't get broad band (where I was), so I had to use a 'professional package' cost me 60e a month!

Things are a bit better now to be fair. A lot more available but Still behind the UK.

20 gigs for Omni is going to take a while!

Since the start of the year here in Sweden the speeds have shot way up while the prices have stayed pretty much the same across the board. It's about 60 euro per month for 500mbs but like I said I'm going to drop down to half that speed (and price) as soon as possible.

When they start rolling out the optic fiber it'll pick up no doubt,

20 gigs, technically that should take me 40secs,

depends on how fast spectrasonics servers are.

Omnisphere 2 is here! (yes, it's really here!)
