New speed record internet - about 7.6 million times faster than what you have

[crufflers]

Oh great even more adds while I wait for a page to load.

You gotta love the 4k video car commercials or whatever while you are trying to stream mediocre quality audio on Pandora or similar music app.

Whippersnapper. Some of us remember 2400 baud.

[Mute]

Yeah but can they do ludicrous speed?

[Rakso]

Meh, I'm happy with my America Online Dial up 56Kbps.

[flhxxx]

so USA will get these kind of speeds in about 30 years. since all the internet companies here won't want to pay the money to upgrade their infrastructure to support these new tech until they are forced to by the government.

even though at the same time, they are asking for and accepting grant money the USA is giving them specifically for infrastructure upgrades.

god, the internet service needs to be turned into a public utility.

private companies competing will always be faster than the government...

Saying the government should take over industries is straight up commie talk, you should reevaluate your position.

modem play; DWANGO.EXE, the client software for the NEW multiplayer
gaming environment of the future; IPXSETUP.EXE, the IPX Network Device
Driver that enables you to play DOOM over an office network that uses
the IPX protocol and SERSETUP.EXE, the Serial Device Driver that enables
you to play DOOM over the modem or serial cable.

The documentation for the DM.EXE program is named DM.TXT, the documentation
for the DWANGO.EXE program is named DWANGO.TXT. The documentation for the

Whippersnapper… some us remember 300 baud!

...and some of us remember the crank phone and operator/multi-party lines.

Talk about social networking and sometime just as hostile as today.

I just recently tossed my old 300 baud cradle phone modem.

I guess I should be thankful for the 5.9 or 6.0 mbps I get from AT&T for 60.00 a month.

This will surely solve all our world problems.




...Just like one minute microwaved food and 30-minute delivery pizza.

Luxury! my first modem was 300/175 baud (I think that was the split - was a long time ago)

Yeah. How many T1's is that?

Why do you get those speeds in San Diego, though?

I recall being in La Mesa and having Dial-up... MSN? Also had a second tower PC that was a Cyrix CPU, hahah (for serial gaming).

If T1's is phone lines, just one.

As far as cost I pay, 60.59 for what they call "Internet Basic 6". Year and a half ago it was 1.5 to 3.0 for about 10.00 less. According ATT the max that I can get is 8.0 to 10.00 mbps for a 110.30 a month. This is as of about two months ago that I last rattled their cage.

I think I know all the field techs that work my area for the last 20 years by their first names. (Old brittle copper wire infrastructure dating to 1972).

I guess it's still better than the old dial up and using GEnie as the Internet provider. (18.00 an hour daytime rate, but free after 18:00 hrs.)
