if you mean “calling the provider”, I already did, but it didn’t help, they say, it’s not their problem and that they can’t do anything to change this situation.
I mailed the one who made the upgrade possible and he says, that anyone in this village should have DSL16000 now.
Fail. 1024 bits = 128 bytes. Unless you’re a hard drive manufacturer.
Also fail.
b/s = bits per second
B/s = bytes per second
Unless you’re sure that everyone involved knows the difference, it’s often safer to stick with the words rather than the abbreviations.
Generally, as a rule, if you have a sync speed measured in megabits/s, divide the number by ten and you will get your realistic throughput in megabytes/s.
So, for example:
1 megabit/s = roughly 100 kilobytes/s (0.1 megabytes/s)
16 megabits/s = roughly 1.6 megabytes/s
Oh god that was soooo funny! Except it was not.
Also, how can you suicide NOT yourself?
Try phoning, or going to the offices in person, in which case, do speed tests at different times of the day and take those results there in person.
It’s harder to avoid your issue for them if you go there in person.
If that fails, isn’t there an industry regulator you can complain to?
16-54MB!
and after viewing this thread, I feel really lucky all of a sudden:o
I’m on a 8MB connection over the phone lines. I get no more than 1MB down. But i’m fine with it.
Thanks, I’ll do.
That would be nice, indeed. That guy is so annoying.
well, I guess you could suicide someone by convincing them to kill themselves, but I think that would be 2nd degree homicide…I don’t know!
That’s interresting.
Have someone else suicide you.
Anyway my internet speed grew non-stop since I got my modem back in 2006, right now it can download at 950KBytes/s
I wish my country had the infrastructure, Sersoft.
Then he would just kill you 
I’m pretty sure that’s because you found a way to use all your neighbor’s connection at the same time.
Screw that one up every time
STFU, I have no DSL, and no Cable. Instead I’m forced to use Alltel Wireless internet (over a 3G network) for 60 a month. which is unreliable as shit and has bad latency.
Though I do get ~100Kb/s in downloads…
If you call and they say that it is not their problem you ask to speak to their manager and explain the situation to them, as a paying consumer you have the right to the service that was promised to you. You need to make it clear that they failed to upgrade your connection.
If you go to the office in person it’s actually very unlikely that you’ll get past the front door since you’re not an employee.
In any case try this speed test it will give you a very accurate reading of your connection speed. Remember that 16mb/s is your peak/maximum speed… so in reality your reading will probably come back about 0.5 - 1 mb/s slower than it is.
Disregard my previous statement I was too stoned and that joke seemed funny.
I haven’t used my neighbor’s (or my own) wifi in a while, I moved to the basement for summer and it’s almost completely shielded from wireless, even my cordless phone fails down here.
Of course, speed is also limited by the gear at your end - can your modem/router do that speed or will you need to update it to get the faster speed?
E.g. I got an ADSL2 modem when I last moved providers as we are (sometime this centuary) due to get faster line-speed… If I kept my old one, I would have been unable to use the faster connection when it is rolled out in my area.
My isp tried to force me to upgrade my modem 3 times and each time I ignored them. They sent me a 2wire modem by mail and requested me to send my old one back, but after a week with the 2wire I gave it away and kept my old modem, the new one took almost 5 minutes to restart and had weaker WiFi reception, luckily my old trusty speedstream can change my IP in 1 second without restarting and the only problem with it was that all of the indicator LED lights were dead (that’s how old it is). Both the upstream and downstream speeds were exactly the same with both, except the 2wire blocked torrents 100% accurately whereas the speedstream just gave higher torrent speeds during throttling hours.
I wish it was possible to get higher upload speeds here, my website would be faster, VNC remote PC would be alot faster and my torrent ratios would be alot more decent.
What’s your ISP? Because I’m wit Videotron and I still use an old WebStar modem.
