I've finally got a CABLE MODEM!!!!!!!

[Jordan]

YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

After about 4 years of waiting, broadband has finally arrived in my area!!! I can't believe it, it seems much faster than any other high-speed connection I've ever used!!! I've posted my speed results from bandwidthplace.com so we can compare, MistaX. Of course, I'm going to download the hundreds (maybe thousands) of huge videos I've always yearned to see but couldn't, but I also want to know if there's any sites with streaming content or other high-bandwidth features that I shouldn't miss? This is so great!!! It's like a life-changing experience!!! I am so excited!!!

WAPOW! Congrats Jordan!

Hahaha - you are like the proverbial kid in the candy store.



Congrats to you.... That being said, I have absolutely no streaming video sites to recommend so I'll just and <nod><nod>

Woow Jordan, that are some nice results, man.
Wish i had a dl speed that fast

u can download some videos and stuff. May i suggest CKY2K (500mb est), the 3rd one is OK, but the 2nd one is the best. Hilarious stuff. Though u must have kazaa to get it, unless u can find someone who's got it.

What is CKY2K?

 

[troy]

the ppl from Jackass made it, its uncensored..about 45min. Just like Jackass but better. Sometimes it can be gross, but funny.

Nope, I haven't done anything to it yet. I do plan to give speedguide.net a visit once the initial shock wears off...

thats not bad, DSL is slower than cable. And ur results are just under avergae cable speeds.

True, but I have to wait till September to get rid of ISDN...then ADSL is being installed

These are my ADSL results:

Your raw speed was 419302.88 bits per second.
Communications: 419.3 kilobits per second

Storage: 51.2 kilobytes per second

1MB file download: 20 seconds

DSL Internet speeds in Europe
