AT&T starts capping broadband

From work:

Is 100 Mb/s some sort of hard limit?  It seems like a lot of mega-fast Internet connections get close to that number, but none go over.

Some places in Sweden you can get 1000mb/1000mb full duplex broadband for about €58/month.

Looks like the Old Country Internet Buffet is shuttering its doors and it'll be a la carte from now on.

Fatmai has an iphone? gay.

for like the last two years.

I can't believe these freaking speeds you Euros are getting.  POS RCN gave me a whopping 7 something with the ethernet.   

[The Brain]

To be fair I must of course add that my broadband is free, in the sense that I pay nothing for it personally. I haven't seen the actual cost per apartment but it's something like $15 per month.

So, who's picking up the rest of the costs?

The $15 is picked up by the condominium thingy with no increase of my "rent" necessary. Before it was installed a year ago we all paid our own individual broadbands, this one "comes with the condo". The words in the previous sentences may be way off, I don't know what terms to use in English, but I hope you get the idea.

I'm in arts and entertainment biz man. I get enough dirty looks not having a Mac laptop!

I hope the Apple marketing person who managed to get them to be such a dominant Hollywood player is a billionaire now, since they surely deserve to be.

You should get a iPad like me and be a douchebag.

[katmai]

If I could data transfer from cf and sd cards I would!

[Caliga]

I have to admit the iPad is pretty cool.   Guy I work with always brings his to meetings.  When he gets bored, he starts playing Angry Birds.

It's all about product placement - they just gave the laptops to everyone doing a movie or a tv series. Pretty much everyone in HBO series (such as Six Feet Under) uses an Apple.

In Poland you are lucky if you have 4Mbit.

Yeah got to check out the 2.0 version that one of presenters had on last job.

[Caliga]

This dude doesn't have a 2.0 and he said he probably won't get one, since the one he has is totally sufficient for his needs.
