anyways T1's are a billion times faster then these so called "high speed" connections..... then again OC-3 is even better

did you read that i said in the first stages of testing...they say its capable of sending at that speed, they havent reached full potential yet

Bell Sympatico removed all their download and upload limits.. anyone notice?

speed is now 150KB/SEC and upload is around 40KB/sec..

used to be 100KB/SEC and 16KB/SEC

regular high speed, not the ultra shiet

not sure if it's true ... first time I've herd of it I'll look into it monday ... I think it's because rogers and other cable services do not have a GB/month cap (sympatico's is as far as I know 5 GB then you pay per extra GB used) and as such have been losing tons of business

Damn you'd get the world record, by winning the fast stroke per second category!

off topic......

BoOsTZeX, why do you do multiply posts in almost every other thread that you have posted in?

Just wondering.

And Rice Burner, the second pic in your sig no longer comes up.....if it does for you, it's becuase it's in your cache.....but the rest of us don't see it anymore.
