o just not in my area. I live in roanoke texas.

I think we are getting at&t u verse. They claim that the elite package has 6mb a second download. And they dont even mention the upload. But I think it is like 1.5. I am supper bummed. but thankfully at my internship they have blazing speeds for their servers.

I have seen it reached transferring files over a network, but that was with the wireless card on the desktop and the router being manufactured by the same company. Also, steaming video on a fiber compared to a coax network is noticeable when you see the difference. HD movies download in no time, as compared to a COAX shared network which will have speeds going all over the place. The FIO's network is consistent all the time when it comes to downloading files when I was using it. So, if I start downloading a file, my entire neighborhood using FIO's services could jump online and start using their internet, streaming and watching HD TV and movies, using their phones and so on, and my download speed wouldn't change at all, which isn't the case at all with cable or DSL. I tested this theory when I lived in an apartment building with some of my friends. I started downloading a 2 gig ISO via HTTP download, and had them all start downloading files from other sites while I was using my FIO's internet, and my download speed didn't fall at all. Now with a coax cable network, it would have without a doubt once other individuals started using it.

I need fios for when I play XBL and PSN... just like the fios commercials say:"you will be going so fast, it will make your competition think you are lagging."
hahaha

and it's fast cause they are using the newest in FIBER OPTICS.

That slogan doesn't make sense. Lag is caused by lost packets.

It's Verizon, it doesn't have to make sense.

Their slogan is actually "This is FIOS, This is BIG!"

Before wireless N was an IEEE standard a few companies manufactured wireless N routers and just called them something else (example: Linksys SpeedBooster Technology). Many companies followed this trend, the protocols were proprietary and therefore only worked with other products from the same manufacturer.

I had Netgear or something like that.

I still don't like 802.11 frequencies.

I can understand it, I think. For instance, when you speed hack in some games it looks like you're jumping from spot to spot while the actual player is just moving rather fast. Jumping from spot to spot like that could also be indicative of lagging, which I f*cking hate when f****ts can't get internet that's not going to shit on everyone else's play experience.

Which is why I love servers that kick players with a high ping.

Got at&t uverse.

Nice ping and download, but what the f*ck is up with your upload?

Idk man. I guess at&t figured that download is more important. Which makes sense considering that people download a heck of a lot more then they upload. But it stinks for me.

Btw, they let me use servers but only if I have a static ip. Do you know how to get one?

By paying a crapton of money.

You can still run a dynamic server off a dynamic IP, but you need to update the domain every time your IP changes, which can be anywhere between every day to every year.


Edit:

Try no-ip.com or whatever it is.

Yeah, same here -- Time Warner doesn't offer anything better than 1Mb up in my area, even on the upgraded plans.

The plan we got said 1.5mb/s but I wasnt expecting more then 1. And I got .94mb/s. Im happy with it.
