This is were I get back on my soap box and have a rant....
So after much drama involving many calls to my internet provider and Chorus (the phone line people), I finally have working internet.
Normally I would be thrilled, and I am. Or was.
I just can't get over how SLOOOOW my internet connection is. Seriously, it is barely faster than dial-up (I have a ADSL2 connection so should get max of 24mb/s). Realistically, I only expect a connection speed of 3-4Mb/s, downloading something at 300kb/s or somewhere around that. But 64kb/s is a little pathetic. My parents get faster, and they live out in the Wop Wops (lol, the Boondocks). I live in the CBD of our capital city and it took over 15 minutes to download a 40MB file (Yes, it was legal).
I find it sad that some third world countries have better internet than us.
Yes, I know I should be happy that I have internet and be grateful I am so fortunate blah blah blah, but I am paying near $100 a month for something that is barely usable!
