It’s a bit slow today :wink:

Ha-ha, I feel your pain.  :imp:

Don’t know about where you live but a 56K frame relay was $900 a month in 1998.
A dialup (max 56 down 28 up) was $40 a month.
The entire cable network in 1999 Vanderhoof shared 1/3 of a T1 (512-512)

I call bullshit.

I’ve had the same DSL line for about 10 years now.  Prince Rupert. 

Citytel introduced ADSL back in 1998.  It was a real leader back then.

46

I’m pretty sure that was an April Fool’s joke.

47

You were. I don;t think Telus rolled out DSL in Prince George until about 2000…

48

globaltvbc.com/technology/Te … story.html , come on , citywest step up and do the same for Prince Rupert , give Prince Rupert  faster internet service , instead of giving the customers the run around , oh it must be your telephone lines / you get faster internet if you live closer to downtown , it’s so bogus that they give everyone shitty answers instead of giving the people what they want , which is faster internet service .  :frowning:  :frowning:  :frowning:  :frowning:

They’re doing it again

Just got fiber.  For some reason, the closest site I can find is in Okinawa, about 950 miles away. I’m hoping to run another check when the server in Tokyo shows up again.

As far as Citywest goes I’m screaming.

I didn’t believe the first one I did was so slow and the second came even slower.

57

i dont get this are they not giving the same bandwidth for the price or is there some sort of un-equal throttling going on for reasons unknown.

58

Why doesn’t anyone indicate whether they are on dial up, DSL or cable?  I’d be interested in seeing the differences between each…

I had better result this morning at 21.07 Mb/s
