Finally got round to setting up my staff account with work and installing the XL30 broadband. Been living off the 10Mb connection for the last 2 years, before that it was only 2Mb, and now the likes of youtube and streaming sites have upped their speeds I could only watch youtube in 240p or less, if one of us was downloading then the others could hardly use the net.
Now on 30Mb the difference is huge. Just downloaded the entire first series of Game of Thrones (5.4Gb DVD rip) in half an hour, can stream YouTube in 1080p and STILL use the net to browse at the same time!
Pointless thread I guess, am just in a good mood today <3
Oh and it's even sunny outside
Welcome to modern day internet access

Unfortunately, this is quite true... :S
Never had a problem watching YouTube videos in full hd with my 10mb connection
Nah we're 100Mb enabled in Castlecary and Uddingston regions, I just don't see the need for it so settled for the "basic" 30Mb
Never bothered taking the staff account as I couldn't be arsed with the hassle of changing all the account details etc into my name, now I have though I've got XL TV, phone, BB, sky sports & movies, Tivo 1Tb, a second VHD box and the full HD package for... £40 per month. Win. Without the sports and movies id only be paying £18 per month but I want the Sky F1 channel.
Lochwinnoch (Renfrewshire) was pants for internet... Lanark isn't great either...
Oh f*ck off, already pissed off with traffic management this afternoon, 4.8meg? f*ck you. 50Meg ftw!
I make do with smoke signals down here
I get a beastly 2.5mb lol yes 2.5 not 25
100mb is where it's at! Sod watching HD porn on 10mb....
Ooh uTorrent just peaked at 4.8Mb/s there (Not 4.8mbps) and i'm getting 46mbps wirelessly which is ok I guess. Upload sitting at 3.8mbps too. result.
Pft bitchs *sat behind my 2meg dsl link*
Motherfu....
Wait until you see yourself syncing at 144kbps if it's rainy/windy outside... That's tragic...
oh how quaint, mines slow as anything

2mb is what we pay for as its the max we can get and can just about watcha youtbe video in 480 if you let it buffer for a while!
Its funny, I was posting a reply on the laptop then the internet crashed, tapatalk ftw
I get 25mb on my wireless at home on the iPhone. 50odd on the main wire upstairs.
120 in the summer.
If it works as planned mark..
I am sure it will, I have faith in Mr Usain Branson.

Ah so its not just me that's realised that Richard Branson had had the reverse Michael Jackson treatment!
120mb will be good but I can't see it going much higher soon as most sites won't upload at them speeds
It will be high enough for now.

This site will be close, but in all honesty there their network is quite oversubscribed so even if this site was busy you probably still couldn't max out it's connection on a 120mbit pipe
If it does then maybe we'll upgrade to a gigabit line for lolz
This is the only site that makes use of my Internet. I don't download much so it's a bit pointless me having 100mb! Lol
You lucky f*ckers. I has boradband dongle which isnt great but at least its better than the internet at work
I only use the internet for social networks now, and films and this
