What do you guys consider "good" internet speeds? I did a speed test and have 24 download and 50 upload. That was with my VPN network also running. Rarely have any issues even when Princess is streaming and my nephew is gaming and I'm working... We pay for 50mbps service and an upgrade to 75mbps would be $35 more per month so not worth it since we don't usually have issues.

Put it this way, I can't stream

D'ya know there's a half hour video on YouTube of just Hockey Night in Canada intros?! And to top that, a video of 10 HOURS of the song the Hartford Whalers used, 'Brass Bonanza'. Even a rabid hockey fan like me doesn't want to listen to 10 hours of that. I don't think...

nah, I'm on the third time and that's about enough. How about under 3 minutes...

we have Vdsl 50 Mbps, but we could have 100 or 200 for a tenner more per month. not needed. technically we have fiber in the house, so if they would care to offersomething I could probably have 400 or more. I could also have cable but we do not own a TV set and do not need one. I read books, remember, these paper blocks with numbered pages?

I write my book online, later print it: Klimafarm: Gesunde Nahrung. Gesunde Umwelt. Gesunde Profite. - Frank Fremerey schreibt ein Buch über Biodiversität und Globale Verantwortung und gibt hier schon mal einen Vorgeschmack auf den Inhalt if you can read German

You got me dancing around in my underwear, thanks for that. I'm wearing socks though.

They play that song for everything in CT, haha. And not just for our AHL teams.

 

[vintagesnaps]

I see that!! Now you know what I've been wasting time doing... the Whale in the A, UCONN, games & teams I never get to see!

I don't see why a normal human being needs 1gigabit service, haha.

Agree 100%. I would expect that may be for people running some type of "business" out of their homes...

Put it this way, I can't stream

That stinks.

If Dave was forced to guess he believes Frontier may have bought out Sudden Link.
Several Frontier trucks have been seen.
And they are refurbishing a building in Shepherd. We don't get cable out here.
We have DirecTV and roundly hate it at times. Internet is through the phone company and probably couldn't stream if it had to. Such is a lesser part of life lived where we do. Besides, cable was at my cousins house and couldn't hold a candle to our DirecTV.

Gary's DVR is called internet streaming.

Sugar rush!!! Made the first batch of salted caramel for the cookie bars I’m making next week. Yummmmmmy and messy, lol. Candy making is a very specific art and not really my area but the store bought caramel sauce that’s made for sundaes doesn’t firm up enough for the cookie bars.

Side note - watching a Hallmark Christmas movie with my mom and daughter. Is Joan Cusack the worst actress on the planet? Even by Hallmark Christmas movie standards she’s terrible.

I have had Frontier for several years now, ever since they bought Commonwealth phone here in Pa. Hope you have better luck than we have. The technicians say they keep imploring the company to spend money on upgrading the internet equipment but to no avail.

divide your download by 3, and it's still faster than mine. We have a fiber optic cable in front of our property, and a box I can see from our bedroom window, but for some reason, they run our service from another box that's almost 15,000 feet away.

 

[Gary A.]

Gary has been very disappointed by Frontier’s service. Mary Lou called today to inquire about the new cable box as it was overdue. Frontier claimed they didn’t have any paperwork for the new box. After an hour or so of being on hold and speaking to several people, the box may be on its way.
