Me over here with 40mbps taking days to download games.

Same. In a large city no less. With new apartments down the road, less than a quarter mile away, having fiber while we have DSL ffs in our whole neighborhood. No other choices for broadband. Fuck ATT.

No, I like my ATT 1gbps symmetric with no caps

[–] SaltySalamander@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I hate you, because ATT's fiber stops about 1/2 mile from my house. My house has never even been able to get fucking DSL.

[–] gnurd@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I'm happy for you. I get 45 with a 1.5 terabyte cap. Fuck ATT.

Go get them FCC! Lets move into the future.

[–] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm out here living on 10 Mbps up / 1 Mbps down.

I hate living in LATAM.

I found the HPB

[–] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am sorry, friend, but what does HPB mean?

It's an old school diss

High ping bitch/baby

I was one of the first LPB (low ping bastard). Back in the 90s, some servers would just flat out ban you if you were one or the other. I was very competitive in Quake/Halflife/Counterstrike and even had a shirt with the Ethernet symbol and LPB under it. I fucking loved that shirt.

I was i.am/zzottt if anyone remembers the first days of Counterstrike

Look less then 2 years ago I was in the upper 20s at the best of times. Fiber rolled in. I got gigabit and its spoiled me very quickly. I'm not sure why I'd need more but I'm sure they'll find a reason eventually.
