Woot... Axe gets fiber, 15Mbs down/2 up on Jan 4 for $40 a month.

[Rosslyn]

omfg, that's ridiculously awesome

[Tydd]

F@#k Me.   And I thought I was cool with my 3mb download.

[Nari]

That's a nice speed.  Who did you have to blow to get that?  

[Caohmin]

Haha!

[Axecleaver]

I should ask my neighbor that. The guy across the street got his fiber installed a few days after the drops were put in. I talked to the installer, called the Verizon numbers, got a commision-based sales guy, and he said he couldn't sell it to me yet no matter how much I wanted it.

I did get this offer personally fed-ex'd to me from him a few months after the drops got done though. Verizon really wants to sell their fiber service, it's part of their Master Plan.

[Caohmin]

Step one: Sell fiber to geek gamer noobs.

Step two: ...

Step three: Pwn the world!

[Axecleaver]

I didn't know you were a telecom exec Cao. That must be why they pay you the big bucks.

[Axecleaver]

Your download speed: 15.7Mbs
Your upload speed: 1.81Mbs

[Rosslyn]

<<<< friggin jealous as all hell

[Caohmin]

Your upload speed sucks! Relatively speaking.

[Axecleaver]

Now my problem is trying to find ways to saturate my download speed.

Oh... left out the part about latency. DSL was about 80ms to the first level router. Now I'm 4ms to the router and 7ms to the at&t backbone.

[Foopei]

/envy

the important thing is, how did it affect your latency to Blackhand?

Also, you need a computer that can run Vent and WoW at the same time.  I mean, really, with that bandwith, we should be getting Axecleaver in 5.1 surround (not that we would necessarily want such a thing)

[Rosslyn]

what we really want is for him to leave it on voice-activated chat so that we can hear Mizzaxe lay the smack down in 5.1   ....  lol!

[Lifesbane]

LMAO
