Raheel · June 6th, 2005, 06:59 PM

TechZ · June 6th, 2005, 07:28 PM

congrats

jensked · June 6th, 2005, 08:20 PM

1Mpbs???

Upload you mean?

Raheel · June 6th, 2005, 09:26 PM

1 Mbps download dude..

massy · June 6th, 2005, 09:38 PM

Belgian standard cable speed is 5Mbps so you still have a long way to go.

jensked · June 6th, 2005, 09:40 PM

yes but we pay too much...

Belgium: ADSL 4mbps/256 with 10 Gb is something like 35euros/month
France: ADSL 8mbit/8mbit with unlimited download is 15euros/month

I just read in 'test aankoop' (consumer magazine) we are the most expensive country in Europe for broadband internet. BUT we do have the most broadband connections.
80% of the internet users have broadband here.

FireFox · June 6th, 2005, 09:50 PM

80% of the internet users have broadband?, so the article below dows not make sense. or?

http://frontpage.fok.nl/nieuws/54661
broadband in netherlands is around 12%,
Dutch: "Zo wist Nederland de koppositie te bemachtigen gevolgd door Denemarken en België."
"Netherlands take the lead, and then Denmark and Belgium".

but 4mbps/236 for 35 euro/month.....that's quite expensive.

jensked · June 6th, 2005, 10:23 PM

Read carefully, I will say this only once, René...

80% of all internet connections is broadband.
Not 80% of the people have broadband images/smilies/smile.gif

and yes it is expensive.

Probably they didn't have the up to date numbers or so. Place 1, 2 or 3, it doesn't matter.

Glad you got a faster connection.

Speed is something most of us can never get enough of. images/smilies/wink.gif

bone · June 7th, 2005, 08:46 AM

^speed is more than enough

the amount of data is to limited. what in gods name can you do with 10gig a month?
if you aren't carefull, you fill it in 1 week

TechZ · June 7th, 2005, 08:54 AM

10gb a month, could do that in a few days, if I had the speeeeeeeeed images/smilies/wink.gif

bigfoot1942 · June 7th, 2005, 12:56 PM

i do that within a day usually, and i have ADSL lite....

Roman · June 7th, 2005, 01:02 PM

Who said anything about 10gb ? images/smilies/dunno.gif

My isp suits my needs. Apart from seeding TG, I don't use a lot of upload and I only reached once my d/l limit (20gb) in over a year so ...

Most of my need is speed. When I sit in front of the computer, I don't want to wait, at all. 8)

jensked · June 7th, 2005, 02:21 PM

pff, in Belgium there is enough speed. But why do you need speed if you can only use it the first 10gb? images/smilies/smile.gif

We can buy 5Gb extra for 5euros.

bone · June 7th, 2005, 03:12 PM

^if you have ADSL you can keep buying blocks of 5gig, and at the beginning of the month, you start with 10 again

i have cable and can go up to 30gig for 1€/gig, but when once set, you can't undo it, you pay for the 30gig all the time, even if you don't use it

that sux

and you can only choose between 1 ADSL and 1 cable provider images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Hmmmmm, NO. This is true for cable, but when you choose to have ADSL you have lots of options. Belgacom is just the main provider.

Man us Americans are getting ripped off images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I have to pay like $55-60 a month for 2.5 Mbit download and 30kilobytes/second upload.... Man overpriced broadband is annoying images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

TechZ · June 9th, 2005, 09:00 AM

Live in the right place and get FIOS@10/2 mbit for 50$ images/smilies/smile.gif

bigfoot1942 · June 9th, 2005, 12:19 PM

about living in the right place: in Holland they're selling ADSL2+ connections for E 39,95 and you get 20/1 (Mbit that is) so that would mean over 2MB/s downstream...
