What about internet

Post by popdrome »   0 likes

hey guys

When I started (to join) FLM, some 15 years ago I think, 40 mbit internet was huge.
I was able to join and share at least at a speed of 2 MB per upload/ download speed,
and well it was an OK environment for Kad and Ed2k to operate.

I was able to upgrade the UL/DL speeds even further after getting a cable connection
in the 2008's and 2009's. No probs at all.

Usually someone's upload power is one fifth of one's DL power,
so having 50 mbit had me at least at 10 mbit upload speed, you know?

Today however, paying for cable or copper, no matter what - the max download speed I get is 1 MB
I have complained and they've sent passwords to the wrong clients,
They say (bull sh!t) that I have the wrong internet client software,
They will NOT tell me how to port-forward ports until I get my internet password which they keep saying is wrong.

OK, to up the sillyness even more, today I got a message -
They're installing glass fibre in my place! Finally I will be able to upload/download on superspeed! .. Or?
Or really? Does any of you guys have glass fibre?

What are the speeds like and is it affordable? TIA let me know your thoughts.

Thanks in advance

Don't go quietly into the night.
