Comcast has something called a spike download thing where it boosts your download to unbelievable speed for the first few seconds...then it gets back to the normal speed

comcast is just cable, can't have speeds like that.

No, DOCSIS 2.0 can have a usable downstream of up to around 40Mbit. Those speeds are definitely possible and I seem to remember reading about Comcast offering somewhere around 20Mb in some areas. I wouldn't be surprised if that is accurate, especially in the Atlanta area, which is known for having some of the best telecom infrastructure in the country.

Just wait until they start using DOCSIS 3.0. It will offer upwards of 400Mbit possible downstream. Still nowhere near FiOS (the current BPON is approximately 650Mbps possible over a single fiber strand, but when the GPON upgrades go through, that will be brought up to around 2.5Gbps per strand), but it will be better than most current providers.

Belgium has one of the suckiest internets in Europe, we even have a download limit! Standard 12 GB downloadlimit, and if you pay double you get 22 GB downloadlimit.

My old ISP (direcway satellite internet) had 700kbps for $70 a month and a 200MB per day download limit. Then I switched to Cebridge Cable

  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
