New ISP is here

Re-test with the new ISP (it's DigitalPath, don't know why it shows as Sprint):

That's pretty close to the 6/1 we are paying for, and a heck of a lot better than the 1.5/1.5 we used to have. Plus, it works on weekends now, and with a ping low enough I can play FPS again :D

Although, nothing close to the FIOS ripmf666 tested, yikes! Man, if I could get that... *jealous*

To make myself feel better, I installed SpeedTest on my server and ran that. 375.4Mb/s down, and 166.0Mb/s up. If only, if only :eek:

I pay for up to 25/25, 5 HD, and 3 sd tvs with almost all the channels hbo/shotime/skinamax/starz/encore, plus 1 phone line with unlimited nationwide calling for $60 more than I used to pay, and I used to hate Verizon.
My previous tv and internet I had 84 sd channels and up to 12/1.5(more like 1.5/.7) internet.
It would be faster but with all the hardware on it right now im happy.

f-in hughes net. Like $60 per month and......



were working on become a wireless host for our area, meaning ultra fast internet, and free. However the people who set this up are very hard to contact.

Our IT guy hates our internet with a passion, and as you can see its insanely slow, but still better than dial up.
