The Jazz Out: 4000 Posts of Holo to Lure Him Back

I wouldn't mind 150mbps, but the fastest I can get in my area is 30mbps, which is what I'm on now. Mt friend who lives in the city has fiber. CenturyLink offers Fiber for $60-$65 where it is available. I think Comcast offers it for a little bit more. Those are the only two major ISPs in my area, besides some other smaller ones.

I'll be content with my new speeds whenever I get them. It's a shame that my down:up ratio isn't staying the same or improving but, at least it's a modest increase. The smaller providers may be more competitive if you haven't looked into them yet.

More than I'd pay . At 100mbps it's more than enough to handle anything the streaming services offer. You'd fall short of UHD BD discs at full bitrate but, the streaming services aren't going offer bitrates that high anytime soon.

I'm guessing that's CAD, which seems about right compared to what I have to pay for 75mbps - $70aud. Cheaper deals in cities over here, and higher speeds too... but rural fixed wireless there aren't many options.
If I drop down to a slower tier like 25 or whatever I don't save a huge amount, it's only like $20 cheaper iirc. The lowest tier is 12 but the cost is dumb for the speed, plus ul speed is only 1 iirc

If it's in CAD that'd be around $75US. It's not completely insulting but I wouldn't pay it. The rates you're getting sound much better than nearly anything on offer here.

The only reason I pay as much as I do is that the lower speeds just seem even more overpriced
And the lowest tier seriously seems pointless because of the upload speed.

I pretty much have the best value for money locally.

DSL is capped locally at about 5-6mbps iirc (has to do with the exchange that was never upgraded since fixed wireless tower was built)... and the other thing is that my line was moved to another address since I stopped using it and no free lines left now. So going back to that would have a hefty connection fee.

[deadlegion]

Actually local DSL cap might be lower than 5
I'd have to talk to someone about that. It's really shit anyway... the only good thing about is stability, but you can't use it for gaming or anything like that.

I play some things on my pitiful 3mbps connection .

Older gaming yes. I did play some PS3 titles on 1.5 DSL but honestly a lot wouldn't work at all and in the best case scenarios the lag was terrible anyway.
Current gen stuff I wouldn't bother trying.

The only improvement I expect to get for games is not having it wet the bed if other things are eating some bandwidth. It'd be nice if the dips don't drop to <80kb/s; I won't hold my breath.

The problem with fixed wireless, here at least, is that when local usage is high you can notice it. But I haven't played online for ages so it doesn't really bother me.
It is nice being able to update a crapton of XB1 games in a couple of hours instead of taking weeks or more
Also large PS4 pkg's don't take forever to dl.

[deadlegion]

So I could only pay like $50 per month instead of $70 but my speed would only be one third of what I have now.
I have thought about it recently but it just seems like a terrible idea to save such a small amount of money.

Hey Grouch have you played ET The Extra Testical?

Hey Grouch have you played ET The Extra Testical?

is that a hack of ET or you just making fun of it?
I have 2 carts of ET I got them from jazz some years ago.

[deadlegion]

is that a hack of ET or you just making fun of it?

Yes and yes.

hack of Atari's E.T. The Extra Terrestrial that mocks previous attempts at creating adult titles on the 2600. Yep, that's right, Christian Samuel has created an adult version of E.T. In this modified version, E.T. has returned to earth because he left his sex toy behind. You must help E.T. find all the pieces so he can return home!

It's a really old hack but I don't recall noticing it before.

so close to beating painkiller I'm at the last boss. tried to beat him yesterday but couldn't so I looked up a guide, the guide said it was so easy I only got two chances to do what the guide said an both times it didn't work.
so I started up penumbra overture and found out that black plague was a sequel, it feels like overture might be a little harder than black plague.
