We have a sizable user-base that never EVER posts outside the Music Section of these forums (or even cares to look outside this congestion for that matter). Without being verbose -- The purpose of this thread is to gather data on the financial status of every person that frequents the Music Section. Since we have an international clientele that visits these forums. ★ Here's the instructions of this topic: Post your internet speed. That's it, period. ★ Keep it civil ~ actually limit the discussion to zilch and just post your internet speed. If you wanna flame someone for whatever dumb reason you like → pls use another thread to discuss idiocies like piracy - anti-piracy - and love or hate of music genres artists & songs. (I bet this thread's gonna get zero posts haha!) ★ tl;dr -- Post your internet speed. YOU the guy/gal who's lurking these boards with a diabolic grin on his/her face... if you want that is. Enjoy! ♫ |

Someone with a 2016 Ferrari is in a completely different financial status than someone with a 1998 Honda Civic ~ asking for someone's net-worth outright is a little bit impolite, hey that rhymes! ♫

Except the speed highly depends on your location. Only one kilometer away, in the town's center, I'd get around 18k without paying more. In the past, I had 1k download without being poor. But our provider choice was just shit. I still don't really get the point. This post has been edited by KiraTM on Oct 30 2016, 05:57 AM | ||

But if you're living in a village, fiber optic is still unavailable... I've made some research, my department will be 100% covered in 2030 ... ... ... ... 1 year ago, on YouTube, the auto was 360p, now it's 720p I discovered HD this year |

There's no ulterior motive to this thread ~ an ISP speed test discloses also more than meets the eye. Anyone's welcome to post their bank account net or work salary if they wish, but that's a bit unsafe, and doesn't provide the same info a speed test does regarding a user in a multi-national forum like IDW. It's just interesting information to me; That's all I can use the data gathered in this thread for... save to solidify some random thoughts. 99% of the users on the Music Section have never posted what their ISP speed is ... to me it's just very interesting what a specific user says his or her internet speed is. ✧

Speed Speed Lover ☆ Group: Members Posts: 46 Member No.: 46,334 Joined: Mar 6th 2016 Location: Barcelona, Spain | I really hate my ISP. Contracted speed is 300Mb down / 300Mb up FTTH (Fiber To The Home). It's around 100€ each month (with landline and 2 mobile lines included, and a forced VoD TV service). (Long story; there you have all the financial info you asked for, xiao)
Summary: Don't have a doubt about it: Africa begins in the Pyrenees (however, I don't recommend saying that in a geography exam). There are other ISPs, but we don't feel sure about changing provider. Prices are always high in Spain. As an exception, there are really affordable providers, but they usually have coverage limitations. In spite of my bad feelings about Telefonica, we may consider that it really has advantage in that sense. This post has been edited by magiblot on Oct 30 2016, 12:01 PM | ||

Please, xiao! Remember: (from 0:00 to 0:06)
Also, you know artists from my country that I don't. Eurobeat must be keeping me away too much from other music.

Tho it's still a jipp ~ 50 bucks for 30 Down doesn't seem too bad, it's a bit more than the ratio my city-locked ISP Time Warner gets us here in the middle'o the desert. I was paying 75 USD for ~50 Down a month ... yeah ~ fuq'dat ~ I'm waiting for Google Fiber to take over the world in 3099 AD... ...orz ♪ ♫ This post has been edited by xiao on Oct 30 2016, 10:38 PM | ||

Seems like Spain is pretty much in the same situation as Germany. Differences here: The German Telekom is holding the de facto monopoly and is not willing to make FTTH possible. They do everything to not lay fiber cables (like forwarding a technique called "Vectoring" which basically shuts down other ISPs but was declared as legal) while they're still the most expensive ISP, though. However, it's possible in Germany to end the contract if you permanentely have less than half the speed you pay for because they bring too less service for your money. Maybe it's possible in Spain too. | ||

I'm very sorry to discover that there is people in a situation worse than mine. I feel sad that I had not been told your story before. I say 'worse' because it seems that at least we are going to have wide access to FTTH in my place. I don't think Movistar is upgrading our intallations because of a different reason than the one why DT has the behaviour you explained, though. Lately, Movistar has been purchasing the copyright rights of multiple sport competitions (football, F1, motoracing...) and taking over payment TV and VoD services (Canal+...), and is offering these contents in their own VoD service (which is forcedly included in all of their offers). So, their purpose is no other than to continue with the monopoly. However, in my case it seems that the customers will be offered more services.
I don't know. Luckily, I have never found myself in such situation. As far as I know, it should be possible to quit unless the contract forces continuity (then, you have to pay a redemption). This post has been edited by magiblot on Oct 31 2016, 07:23 AM | ||||
