Seeing Ireland and Eastern Europe mentioned specifically in news articles.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

UPC/chello is also giving me a flat rate here, fortunately.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

It is pretty much the norm to have caps here. Lack of a cap is the main thing I look for in my broadband supplier.
Which at current is Rupert Murdoch.
Sure I have unlimited broadband but...at what cost. :unsure:

Don't you live in Vienna Syt?  :hmm:

Cybercable/Noos/Numericable was capped in Paris at the turn of the century but then I got broadband in 1998 there. Numericable (linked to Syt's UPC I believe) has not been capped in years.

Yes, the speed test connected me to a Brno/Brünn server to test the connection.

I'm not aware of any ISP in America that provides downstream speeds that high... :hmm:

There isn't.

We're lagging behind because the Telcos spend money on mobile infrastructure instead of the Wired infrastructure.



this is my work internet speed. It is 5 times faster in dl then my home dl speed. The UL speed is 100 faster then my home UL speed.

LOL. And here I thought mine was pretty OK, 5.3 down, 0.6 up, ping 70. Apparently.

That's basically what I have, though I've throttled the download speed down a hair as part of running QoS on my router.

To be fair to America the internet is still new and exciting over there. It is not yet a routine thing that people just expect to work.
