Gonna Fly Now!

I thought the "Gonna fly now" song was appropriate for this post Let me explain why.

 

I've been with my current cable/internet company for 15 yrs now. I really don't like them, not only does the service kind'a suck but they have issues with pixelating on the signal at times because they try to cover such a big area, plus my internet speed is "okay" but truely sucks for downloading or uploading videos, especially HD videos.

 

Well just today my sister whom had the same company I had decided to switch carriers. Now my nephew emailed me tonight and we got to talking about speeds so I had him to a speed test now with the new company just to see how it compares. Here's his test....

 

Download- 59.32 Mb/s
 Upload- 11.07 Mb/s

 

Here's my test....

 

Download 2.06mbs
Upload 0.86mbs

 

 

Not to mention the company they are went with is cheaper, plus have free motorsports and Outdoor channels (I have none of those now).

 

The speed difference just blew my mind. Needless to say I am going to call them and have them come out and chance carriers next week once I get back from a weekend trip this weekend. I'll be SOOOOO glad to not have to watch that stupid "buffering video" crap on youtube vids soon!

 

So my internet speed is Gonna fly now lol

When I read the title I thought you were going to take a sabbatical like Doc as well Steve.

 

Good find with the new provider hopefully that'll make your online experiences a lot better.

I thought exactly the same as Mark lol I was in exactly the same position about a year ago, changing my provider was easily one of the best things i've done. (i sound like i work for them lol)

 

The only thing that annoyed me was i always pulled host in COD, then lag comp would take effect but i refuse to complain about having good internet lol The fact i can game perfectly whilst having 5 other people using it is pretty amazing! Let us know what speeds you get, always nice to see the comparison

Yeah finding out the difference in speed was the last straw for me. I have been kicking around the idea of switching every since August because they ended up turning one of my favorite channels (SPEED ch) into yet another damn sports channel which really pissed me off because I'm a big gearhead. Now I find out not only does this other provider have a car channel, they also have an outdoor channel and much faster internet speed. So that was the final nail in the coffin there for my old provider.

I hope I am not the only one here that remembers the scrambled porn channels from the 80's and 90's

 

Man, every now and again the pic would unscramble and you'd see an 80's boob or even some ass, and it was glorious.

 

now I got porn in 1080p, 3d, HD, surround sound, and everything else. Hell I can see the Genital wart removal scars on Faye Reagans asshole, and thats just screwed up. I shouldn't see that stuff! No one should see that stuff, let alone see it in 27 inches of hi-def

LOL yep totally remember that. You'd stand there for 2 minutes to wait for that 3 second window when it was clear then it was scrambled again. Ahh the good ol days.

I remember sitting the lab with the other engineers and making a decoder so we could unscramble the pron.
