That should say

ISP: America Online.
 
ISP: Lol dial-up

No wonder it takes like 5 minutes just to load the main page. (GBAtemp.net)

Yeah, except it's been happening for a lot longer than a couple of days. A few other people I know are having similar issues.

I've never really had a problem with them til this week, plus it's one of the few unlimited download providers left in the UK. We've had a BT Business Broadband line put in as well but I can't access my bleedin newsgroup provider through, it just tells me it can't find the host whenever I try to connect.

dont know what school you go to but at Carson High School we always got atleast

16000+ kb/s download and 6000+ upload
 
I once tried to measure my school's connection and I got some very interesting results:
Approximately 9000kb/s in download speed, but 80000kb/s in upload speed :wtf:
 


I'm actually shocked with my speed considering it's a low-tier cable speed. Guess I'm still used to DSL.
 
My school's bandwidth is excessively throttled and filtered, leading to shitty ping times and download speeds. However, using the DMZ network leads to ungodly speeds, thanks to the fact the have a dedicated fibre-optic line direct to the nearest exchange.

    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs
    +2
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
    +1
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
