Virgin media, you will still warp. when i play on uk servers and i see 25-30ms warping, it is virgin isp.

LOL @ 100mb xD In my country 200mb download and 10mb upload for 50ish euros, for more then a year now.

And if you want an 1Gb connection you have it, but you will pay with your soul.

lol@still portugal with shit routing outside portugal and shit network inside of portugal lol@still warping like a .pt

Its Romania theres like 5 of them with internet, most likely kids of government people and leave next door do the countries backbones inside a compound to keep the pestants out

In Romania there are 7.8 million connections to the Internet, out of which 4 million are broadband (end of 2010): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_Romania (very outdated)

i just linked to a ISP website above: http://www.rcs-rds.ro/internet-digi-net/fiberlink/pachete - i pay 39 Lei (9 Euros) for my 100 Mbits connection. a 50 Mbits connection is 29 Lei (6 Euros).

http://www.netindex.com/download/allcountries/ - Romania is #3 in the world behind South Korea and Lithuania

problem?

TILT

Fucking sky broadband give me 40 ping on maidenhead servers and 60 ping on frankfurt ones.

With 15 quids a month.

same shit here bruv. It's disgusting.

.

and you're romanian?!

you have a point here.. good or bad internet, my country is all sorts of fail at everything else :)

at least now we know where all the EU billions went :P

they didn't go anywhere m8
the internet infrastructure was built around 2003-2004 (we acceded in the EU in 2007) and the government had nothing to do with it.

also because the EU fundings are very hard to steal and you actually have to do something with the money (instead of dragging endlessly with virtual projects on paper) , they were almost untouched! we may even give more money to the EU then we get back for investments.

only in a country like this, politicians inaugurate a strip of 10 km (ten!?!?!) motorway, which isn't usable and breaks down from the weather after a few months..

now back to the internet.. because the housing in cities consists mainly of appartment flats (build in communist times) young people connected into lots of LANs to play games, share stuff.. then all these LANs interconnected into bigger and bigger networks, until people organized and negotiated with the underdog ISPs for access to their networks.

these underdog ISPs, who before that didn't have good penetration because of lacking infrastructure, had no choice but to sell at very low prices dragging the prices in the whole market down.

(excuse my poor writing, i barely arrived from a protest and i'm kind of tired)

I was kidding :/

nah man.. you should've replied: tl;dr

:D

(excuse my poor writing, i barely arrived from a protest and i'm kind of tired)
ahah, good timing

a protest, one like this one?
http://www.frontpress.ro/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/000000.jpg

nope, that's some kind of a far right protest

i was at a protest regarding a TV Show (something like The Daily Show and Countdown combined) getting fined for political reasons :D

i was only half serious, but good to know :p

i thought these speeds were only when using the romanian network (or something like that?) and when you go outside that (rest of world?) the speeds are more normal

yeah it used to be like that for a while, now i get fair speeds everywhere (depending on peering)

I like your connection.

ah, warezcountry #1 has cheap 100mbit pipes, expected!

btw; is that avail in most of Bucharest? Or just near the uni's? Other (smaller) cities as well?

virtually in all of Bucharest.. and the bigger cities. i have no idea about countryside, small towns.

btw some ISPs provide exclusive torrent trackers for their clients or DC++ hubs :D

lol :D

jew

I was gonna get BT Infinity until i read they were traffic shaping :(

4Mb\s for around ~15EU
We actually have good internet for cheap here in Lithuania, but people in less populated areas with that shitty "monopoly" ISP's internet, like me :(

Cool, but I don't really care about 100mb download, I just want better than the shitty upload speds they currently have.

yeah in the uk we do really seem to get the short straw with upload speeds. even the download speeds are very limited by area anyway

Greenland with better internet than USA? bump'd & LOL

http://www.netindex.com/download/allcountries/

yeah yanks have to cheat to compensate for their terrible interweb, please refer to the numerous cheater threads for more info.

lol@UK warping ISP

even the packets practice binge drinking there

They could of done this years ago but they couldn't due to competition laws but because Virgin have made a deal with BT to use Virgins fibre optic cabling, Virgin can now make deal like this.

its nothing todo with compitition laws, BT is and always will be a monopoly who wont let any other telecoms into their exchanges or do minor maintanence on the network

BT cant afford to upgrade the whole network to fibre without a goverment grant while the goverment was try to force them to start an upgrade

the only way BT could get £20billion over 10 years was to open up a little

virgin sells janet connection cheaper then BT

99 problems, but internet ain't one

Poland, Wroclaw:

UPC, ~ 50 euros for televison, internet (120/10 mbits) and telephone (free calling no matter what time is, and free calling on cellular phones). 20 ms on polish servers, 45-50 on NL, DE, FR

I remember 2002/2003, I had 128 kbps, I think there was huge step forward in internet infrastructure from that time.

upc are amazing

32mbit down
2mbit up
tel flat
digital tv
25 euro

Cable @Frankfurt

amazing pings

de 5-10
Nl 8-15
Uk/SE 15-25

oh and recently my ISP has set up ~180 free Wifi access points throughout the city (including most subway stations, malls and central pedestrian areas)
all i have to do is login with my bill number and a password i have to set. bandwidth is like ~800 KB/s (6-7 Mbps), but hey.. you can't argue with free ^_^

gets kind of obnoxious, i know :D

hmm I can get 1gbit @ home for like 100 eur, quite tempted :D

dedicated?

yep

1Gigabit dedicated for 100€ is huge!:).
I have 100Mbit for 16€. It's more than enough for me because I'm not torrenting, but I'm still curious: are you sure it's dedicated? Can you paste the link please?

I know they have 10gbit lines or more to the box on the street and the uplink to your home socket is already gigabit, then downgraded/locked to 100/50 mb depending on what you buy, so even if it's not fully dedicated as in server terms it's still kick ass!

http://www.telia.se/privat/katalog/VisaProduk....product#9

ty, (it's not dedicated, but still nice)

1gbit dedicated for private use is also ALWAYS a lie. ISP's know the use will never be close to even 10% of what the people buy and thus can advertise those high speeds even if they only have a 10gbit backbone(=only 10 dedicated 1gb/s lines available)

Fuck you

ok, you win. plus you moved to a far better place
am auzit ca au shaorma buna in Suedia :D

Can you actually use that to its full potential?

VM cable in my area isnt bad so when its available ill probably get it.

Currently getting my share of the 50mb - > http://www.speedtest.net/result/1541906450.png

Thank you for making me a super sad panda :D, gonna punch the people working at the ISPs now.

2mb down/1mb up for 80~ euros a month.

you will have 4g cellphones in a 2 or 3 years, use tmobile web n walk, it will probaly still be £2.50 for 5 days

I'm not in the UK anymore.....
was just there on holiday.

tmobile is international, and better then skodafone, tmobile and orange merged, tmobile was the biggest and best with all the deals and media loving and kept its name

no1 says a bad word about tmobile, all the journalists and on the move workers would be lost without laptop and web n walk, they wouild all be back to paying per page or kbs used, instead of £2.50 for 5 days

:(

What about these guys?

can't play with wimax tbh even though I'll ping 60 I'll prolly get 90% pl
it is 5 times the bandwidth though.

Your own personal internet speed is kinda pointless unless everything to your destination can keep up. I had 100mbit around 11 years ago but it was bleh since no-one else had a proper connection. I can still remember the idiocy of direct connect, trying to find someone with more than 10mbit upload and still only using 10% of your connection...

Nowadays it's gotten a bit better with torrents and stuff, but it's still kinda the same problem. It almost never happens that you cap out your connection, because even though you have been on 100/100 for over a decade, the majority is on shitty cable/dsl with crap upload speeds.

I remember direct connect and yeah, it was shit unless you found someone with a XXmbit connection, thank god those days are behind us :)))

DC++ has clients with segmented downloading (like StrongDC++)
still, direct connect is pretty outdated, but for some reason (habit?) it's still used a lot around here. i don't use it anymore since it's pretty filled with viruses from people who are computer illiterate

I max out my 100mbit all the time with torrents.
