I JUST SWITCHED TO COMCAST!!!

Post #1by Celestial_Planets » 25.05.2007, 00:26

Here's Celestial_Planets with the news...

I recently got comcast high-speed internet. The highest "dial-up" speed in that time was 5.77 KB/s. Now, with the new ISP, my latest highest speed was now 720 KB/s. Everything downloaded faster now. Even my normally slow "impossible to do" videos had sped up.
My First Computer:

448 MB of RAM
Speed: 2,540 ft/s
71.2 GB Space
Celestia 1.4.1
Windows XP Service Pack 2

My Current Computer:

16 GB RAM
Speed: 98,500 mi/s
iMac 21.5"
Mac OS X Lion
500 GB HD
Celestia 1.6.1

Yeah. Don't forget the download speed. It is in the 600s. My estimated data transfer is 4.3 Mbps. Now that is fast!

I'm still a dial-up guy :cry:

Takes me a while to get upgraded, and haven't found a way to plug broadband into my Commodore 64 yet. I'll get there someday.

Anyway, congrats to you! :o

I think my 1.6-1.7 MB/s (~20 Mbps) is very enought to browse this forum :wink:

There are some times where my speed is slower than normal. There are other times where my speed is at 1.2 MB-2 MB/s! Now that is fast.
