Quit yer whining

! The fastest I can get here is 3000/768...PERIOD. (Unless I have a T3 line strung 15 miles)

Currently I have only 768/128 (normally tests 730/135), but it's way better than the dialup days a year and a half ago

If I were to get internet in the U.S. it would either be Comcast or Cox... nothing else. Everything else is too slow.

School internet's flying today...it's a 15 meg RR connection if I remember right. If no one at all is using it, I can see the full 15.

Are you serious? Comcast and Cox are the two large companies in the US that throttle bandwidth. There are also plenty of faster options, like FiOS.

So much fun...sure beats my 90 KB/sec!

Yes I am serious. I thought they only throttle Bit Torrent traffic, in which case I think they have every right to do so because 90%+ Bit Torrent traffic is illegal.

That's actually pretty slow for a school.

Yup...but there's no quicker connection around here that they could get unless they ran a T3 line or something. Cable connections are only available up to 15 meg, DSL up to 6 meg, and that's it.

The elementary schools all have T1 lines to them, because they're in areas without even DSL.
