You know what's funny? To this day I still forget that Vista and Win7 exist. XP continues to be my "standard paradigm" for what Windows is, and even that's a bit of a stretch as I run the "Windows Classic" theme in it, so it's more like "Windows 2000, but with functional support for real-mode applications." Which is weird, because I didn't always have these problems. The transition from the C= to my first DOS machine was pretty painless, as was learning Unix after having been immersed in VMS. But I just can't bring myself to embrace the new Windowses. (Windi?) I have the same problem with MS2/3 sometimes. |

Got this installed today. They said that the service would be 5 mbs down, 1.5 mbs up so I'm pretty stoked. http://www.speedtest.net/result/1850419792.png |
Grats man! I would have killed for numbers like that on my HughesNet
So your island has internets now? :rofl: |
LET THERE BE PORN (and xbox live)

Good luck with the XBL/PSN/WoW over satellite...
...but the porn works |
I thought he got rid of satellite and got broadband.

Based on the above? WildBlue is only sat provider, unless I'm totally mistaken.
Edit: @ 762ms? Yeah, that's satellite. Think of that as "ping" :rofl: |

That's awesome. I'm switching. Even with the POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!

Speaking of tethering, I have found that LTE phone connections will net me <50ms pings, while regular old 3G/fake 4G give me 150ms+.
I feel very sorry for anyone who has to play FPS's on a satellite connection. |
We are moving to a new house, and going from Comcast @ 26 down to Centurylink DSL at 7 meg down.
The surprising thing is that the Centurylink service feels much faster and has consistently lower ping times. I suspect that it takes more hops to get off the Comcast network and out to the sites I frequent than Centurylink. So, bandwidth is important, but latency and number of hops to get to where you want to go are really critical to total user experience. |
