I live in rural illinois.. =/ it's 30 bucks for 2.5megs.. I called my ISP "We have you running at 6megabytes, speedtest has to be wrong" I went to my router setup page, it's downstreaming 1,920kbps. I just yelled at them and complained, said words I shouldn'tve.. or maybe should have... and hang up. I restarted my router and it was back up to 6kbps for about 5 minutes and quickly worked its way down, 1 megabyte, at a time.
Damn, I envy your connection =[.. I think speedtest is off though. At my grandmas house, who has the same ISP, router, etc, it says her download speed is 29mbps... yes, 29mbps, but upload is at 417.
Oh, and that DS3 didn't get the worst that's happened to a controller, well mouse in this case. I got d/c'd on FFXI in the middle of a HUGE BCNM fight.. I threw my keyboard across the room and it broke, and my mouse(and this is a HEAVY, dense mouse) and it practically got stuck in my wall. It's an old farm house with little 19th century insulation in it. Easy to break through. Ugh... I have a bad temper, a bad internet connection... what's next...
Oh, and I can't threaten to stop service from them. They're the ONLY High Speed ISP available where I live. I live 25-30 miles from the nearest arbys!!!!!!! THe town I live by has a small diner, and that's pretty much it, population of 650 people...
