gotmilk Posted August 2, 2006 CID Share Posted August 2, 2006 I just had this idea last night, but I was too lazy/tired to post it. I was thinking it would be helpful to have a database of all the advertised speed packages of all the major/semi-major ISPs. Ideally I would like to have all the advertised speed packages of all the ISPs in the "North American Providers" and "World Providers" sections of the forum, and maybe even more. So basically, post the speed packages you know your ISP offers, and I will update this post with any new information I recieve. I'll start by doing my research. I'll have some info posted in a few minutes. Pricing would also be helpful if you can include it. Include both residential and business packages if possible. Also include the type of internet service (DSL, Cable, etc.). Adelphia (Cable) 4/384 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amc11890 Posted August 2, 2006 CID Share Posted August 2, 2006 I think CA3LE already started a thread like this one. I cant seem to find it tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotmilk Posted August 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 2, 2006 The whole point of this thread, though, was to get all the information from people on different ISPs and put all the information in one place. I guess I can type up what I find and put it in the next post, though. AMC: I know what post you're talking about and it's in the "Public Polls" section, but I was going to get all the information I could possibly get and put it in one small point of reference.

gotmilk Posted August 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thanks, Swimmer. I'm working on it right now, it's going to take a while, but it's coming. If anyone has any info on advertised speed packages, either off the top of your head, or from resarch, post them please. EDIT: Lunchtime, then back to work on the database. EDIT 2: Dang, I forgot, I've gotta cut the grass today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted August 3, 2006 CID Share Posted August 3, 2006 What if the ISP has different packages for different prices in different areas? Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 3, 2006 CID Share Posted August 3, 2006 I think general packages would be a good start.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotmilk Posted August 3, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yeah, general packages is what I was aiming for, at least for now. I spent a long time working on this today and I'll have it ready tomorrow. There was a lot of information I couldn't find, though, and for that, I'll have to rely on other sources (that's you guys, and maybe some other people). Wait until I get my share posted before you make anymore contributions to the databse. Chances are I've already got your info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
