Nothing compares to the craptastic internet solution that is Hughesnet. (Gen 3, not 4)
1 Mb/s (At peak, 0.5 or lower on average), Upload around .5 MB/s, and 1500 ms PING. That means if you hit the teleport key on a mage in Maplestory, combine the ping with the game server's own lag, and you're looking at a 2-3~ second wait between teleports. And forget attacking. Yes, I know, its satellite internet, but the sad thing is that its all thats available to me at the moment. Theres a rumor going around that I might get access to U-Verse soon, but even then, the fastest we'll get is around 20 MB/s or so, AND with a data cap of 250 GB.

My residential Comcast used to look like that business Comcast. Something like 1.4Mb/s. Then AT&T started trying to compete. Now it's 25Mb/s. Or Comcast did some general system improvement for the hell of it. But I don't see flying pigs outside, so I'm thanking AT&T for my faster Comcast.

I don't care if I would never use that much power I still want it.
My current internet service ranges from 15 - 25 on good days. |
