I will soon be getting a new internet plan
Not too sure which I should get (:eyeroll: My area sucks for internet)
AT&T  (Max Plus Up to 18Mbps)
or
TWC (Ultimate Up to 50Mbps)
Really my only options.
Also, What are your guys ISPs and speeds?

I don't have Verizon Fios in my area

Zero One



Download should be about 10Mb/s faster, but oh well.

You pay 30$ for that?  :whoa:

Zero One

£19, which is roughly $30. Also, unlimited uploads and downloads, which is nice.

It downloads at 500 kb/s

Parabox


We pay 40eur for this? We're an 'outlying' area, so no interest for fiber and a lot of signal loss; we should be getting double. However, my download speed used to be my upload speed, so I'm very glad with this right now.

Mine hasn't changed since last time. :^_^:

wtf Dman, how come i get fucked?

I pay 75$, maybe i should complain? its supposed to be broadband 50

You aren't using 5Ghz band wireless from your computer to your router, are you? I find that it's not interrupted as much due to less devices being on the same radio band, but at a much less viable speed:



This is why I always test my connection speed on my laptop, or on a wired connection, if possible...

Its wired, though the cord is quite long coming down through the ceiling and on the other side of the house.
i imagine the cord length wouldnt effect it, im prolly just getting screwed by shaw. its greasy up here in canada

Well, since last time I have acquired new internets!



I think the total cost for my internet comes to £34 which is the same plan as ZeroOne's, who I think forgot to include line rental in his price :P (which is about £14, internet being £20)

Good thing I don't host servers. :P

I was asked for my Internet, not my line rental  :^_^: . I'm also quite certain that our Internet is cheaper than yours.

Be prepared to be amazed!

God damn it.

Edit: So I unplugged an accessory that's supposed to make my internet connection faster, and this happened:

It's also worth noting it connected to a place farther away than in the first test :neutral:

Parabox

I love the way that it can't just present you with figures either.  It has to spell it out for you: (SLOWER THAN 89% OF GB) :neutral:
