Some of these numbers are either distorted or incorrect altogether.

First of all, about the static IP - yes it is static, but most cable providers give you a static IP as well.

3-4mb speeds on DSL? Um.. you'd pretty much have to live next door to the backbone, or pay a shit-ton of money to get a main line pulled into your house.

And 3.5mb on cable? Residential fiberoptics cap out at 2.8mb (or something like that) and most cable providers won't let your speeds get in excess of 2.0-2.2. In order to get 3.5mb download on a cable line, you'd need a commercial-grade fiberoptic hook-up.

Unless the world changed while I was in Florida this weekend.

dont know what to tell you, but me and everyone i know in IA get 3+ mbps

I have DSL through Direcway, and it totally sucks....When I first got it I was excited since Id be able to game, even if I was out in the middle of no where. Well, I joined a server and I got 700-999 ping, I thought oh well, its in the uk. I joined several servers after that and my ping was still 999. So I called Drecway up and they said it was made for gaming...I was pissed. Anyways, in one month I am moving and getting cable.

ROFL 33.6kbps = 300 ping you got fukked dude

well if its MOH i dont know, badly scripted.... lots of bad pings

We live in Iowa and get cable from a very local service. Connection speeds can get up to 3.5 mbps pretty regularly. I can pull downloads from newsgroups at about 3 mbps too. Sweet stuff.

There ya go. Only download at 300 kbps tho on a 3 mb connection? That sucks.

how much do you pay for that?
willing to bet more than 30 dollars a month

$20 - canadian. solid 300kbs. im not complaining

Upload speed is probably nice thats one advantage of DSL
but just FYI that 3mpbs isnt your real speed... just connection to server speed

my dial-up says im connected at 33.6kbps but i only DL at like 3-6

thanks bill nye oOo:
