When I left Sweden some 6 years ago, I had 12mbit(ran me about $19US/month...) Now we are on 1mbit... And the year is 2010, soon 2011... In lack of a better word: R*tarded.
Just saw this on MSN - Kent village has slowest web speed - Technology & Gadgets News | MSN UK They don't know how good they've got it....
Does that mean we are a broadband blackspot ??? LOL Ok ok ,just did the test and I assume my landlady's connection is the whole definition of a broadbland blackspot... made the test from speedtest.net and I got =0.32 mb/s download and 0.10 mb/s wtf!!
My wife spoke with them and they said the max on offer is 5mb and that's only if your within 1k of the shop in centro, after that it goes down so i think the best i can hope for is 3-4 meg. I'm going to have to go into Telmex as my wife swears she saw a poster about 10 meg in there. On a side note, anyone know how i can get a static IP withouth having to pay 1000 plus pesos a month for it from rip off telmex plus i HAVE to have a commerical line apparently, any other country they just set you one up, here they want blood, bastards.
How many sharing that connection mate? You should try and download something and see what speed it in K it comes down at. My mate has that speed in his house for a tenner in Ashford with Virgin, you can see it now in 2050, "Telmex announce 50mb connection to celebrate the new year" :icon_frown: I read some bullshit article the other day, some boss of Telmex saying Mexico doesn't need more than 10mb as that is fast enough to stream anything, I can barely get VoIP working through Skype on this connection!
Our plan is listed as 843.50 pesos - not sure why it's a weird amount but that's what it says. We are over 1km from the telmex shop in centro but it's not by much.
I can never get past 1.66 and that upload speed makes me cringe. I think i have no choice but to go for the same package as your on Steve but I reckon i'll only get about 3.5 with me being at the very end of Bonampak.
