Im off on japanese new year holiday - gift for you

Hmmmm. Interesting and funny. There for a second I thought that it would be a Hello Kitty Movie.
 
I think it's supposed to be wierd and interesting. Like some of those European car commercials.
 
I like that. I like that alot. :D

There is no "getting it", except to say that ninjas are really cool.

(pretty large clip though, about 29 megapopsicles)


...yes, but it downloads at 387.4 KibbleBites per second

"No Pets," Bill

BTW What broadband service do you use. I am DL at 300"kibblebits" per second....
 
I only get 103.
:grumpy:

I'd have to pay more to get the fancy super high bandwidth connection.
 
More often the problem with slow downloads is on the server side Bruise...you can have the fastest connection in the world (except that I do) but you'll still only get it as fast as the server sends it to you.
 
"It's the commies isn't it?"

Yes Bruise thats correct -Bill Gates is to blame. The default RCV window and MTU packet size settings on all Windoze operating systems suck. That and your DSL line is probably capped-off :(

Nasty, now I know d@mn well you don't have fiber to the wall in southern Ohio. Read'em and weep boys.
 
Er..uhmm...duh :o

Upon retest I got 1561 down and 359 upload speed.

Not as good as I thought but OK I guess.

Thanks Rag.
 
hehehe...I meant my line at work Bill (military line and all fiber).

Here at home I run a wireless laptop. Slow (because of my wireless router) but *so* convenient! I've posted here from the pond while I was fishing, relaxing in the tub, resting in the bedroom, the kitchen etc...
 
3060 down and 232 up.

That isn't bad at all :)

I ended up with 359 upstream and 3538 downstream. God Bless Broad band

You mean your line at work actually works? The joke at over here is that NMCI stands for Navy-Marine Corps Incompetence/Impotence/on and on. If you log on at 2400 PST or so, it's only very slow, not impossibly slow. I think Diego Garcia has better connectivity than the naval region PNW.

This is in the armory on base, of course. Out at the Camp, we have a 28.8k modem on one of our two 'puters and we're thankful for it. No, that wasn't a joke. I'm dead serious. Trust me when I say that a 28.8k modem doesn't run at the advertised speed over Seabeck's phone lines. Even the fax machine has a hard time. :)

Hmmm...I tried that speed tester out. There are people in my zip code, on my ISP, with the same level of service, getting (no joke) over five times the bandwidth that I'm getting, both up and down. They're enjoying the ISP-advertised 3 MpS download speed. I'm enjoying...err...I don't want to talk about it. Such are the joys of being wired. My first impulse is to call up customer support and raising Cain with the first person that answers; on second thought, customer support is one of the few jobs in the world that I prefer my own to and Wave tends not to answer after 3 P.M. or on weekends. :D I'll let them slide on their claims. Someone is downloading at 3 MpS...just not me. :)

Guess I live on the wrong street. :confused: :rolleyes: :)

Before I complain too much, I should mention that the highest download speed I've ever gotten was 200kps or so...well below even my modest download speed. Outrageously fast download speeds are well and good but I have yet to top out. I've heard this argument made for DSL vs. cable before - yeah, cable is theoretically faster, but no one's ever going to realize the difference. I don't know. It's all magic as far as I'm concerned. I remember purchasing a 2400 baud modem back in '94 and being excited about it. I also remember stepping up to a 14.4k in '95 and feeling like a bad man. :)

And here I was, ranting about how great my download speeds were.

This thread got hijacked like nobody's business, huh? ;)
