dlewis23 Posted June 11, 2006 CID Share Posted June 11, 2006 thats quite a big difference there. i would worry about. if you do a larger test with opera do you get the same result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted June 11, 2006 CID Share Posted June 11, 2006 of course a good way to test it is to download large files from Microsoft or something on each browser and compare speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted June 11, 2006 CID Share Posted June 11, 2006 you just had to crush my dream didn't you tommie? haha jk...my speeds are back to normal Don't feel bad biker9075, I have actually posted legitimately over 5000 kbps. on a 700 D/L satelite system. It looked COOL though. It pissed off a few people. And they could not disproove, except that a 6000 cannot do that! Mwa ha ha!

xs1 Posted June 11, 2006 CID Share Posted June 11, 2006 Its still better then Dial up. Agreed. But with as much backbone verizon has.. I mean with all the profit and revenue that FIOS is making them... you dont think they could spare a little more to the users on a budget? They realy couldnt afford to make the 3/768 package the base package? They need to hand out this sub-standard crap? I think if verizon valued their customers they would upgrade us... Nothing major.. hell even 2/256 would be a step twards showing their appreciation for our business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
