I just got an upgrade on my hi-speed internet service to 8MB download, and 760 kps upload :) I still remember the AOL dial up days

I'm thinking of switching providers for a few months to take advantage of the "new customer" perks. [extra movie channels etc]

I'm thinking about going back to dial up... broadband is wasted on me these days. No time to take advantage of it... well... cept for a few downloads that'd take a week on dial up but part of the enjoyment in downloading stuff was the wait..... yeah right!

Comcast's CEO appears to be against net neutrality - his focus on making the web faster...which is good for moi :)

Meanwhile, Comcast is expected to announce next week the launch of Powerboost, a new feature for its high-speed Internet subscribers that will provide users with bursts of speeds up to 16 Mb per second.

According to Mr. Burke, the service would offer consumers the super-high speed only when they are using their computer. When subscribers are not using the terminal, the speed will automatically drop to a lower level.

i`m on 3.5Mbps/512Kbps......upgrading to 6 Mbps shortly....our govt has just ordered the main telco Telecom N.Z (american-owned) to unbundle its copper wire infrastructure (paid for by generations of nz taxpayers) so other companies can put their exchange h/ware into the main exchange system to provide their own separate ISP services...more competition.....cheaper.....higher speeds..privatisation of our telecommunications structure was an absolute failure resulting in a major monopoly being created....new zealanders have been royally fucked on both broadband pricing and speeds for the last 15 years since privatisation.....the govt had to re-regulate to get real competition into the local market......it should improve rapidly from now on...... :)
