I finally found a high-speed connection

I am sitting here happy with my 24MB / 1MB ADSL 2+ connection, but damn this 10GB download limit to hell!!!!

I has no download or upload limit. The only thing I dislike is the PPPoE and that Verizon blocks port 80, as well as deliberately cycles everyone's IPs around every few days (I have mine set to keep-alive) to sell their static IP business FiOS.

10GB limit! Y'know if you really tried you could burn through that in just under an hour

Since I only recently moved I got 10GB to trial, but I've decided to add another 10GB for an extra $10 a month (so now $69 a month).

It sucks being in an area where data is so expensive, but I do understand why it is so expensive. They need to hurry up and build more connections to the rest of the world!

Plain and simple, Aussie ISPs suck ass.

Score. Be* just emailed me, my 24mbit unlimited connection is now £18 a month!

Lucky bastards. Over here I've got around 7Mb down, 1Mb up. Latency on American/European game servers is another story.

I usually find while on US servers that I get pings of about 150~250 ms but the game is still stable and playable (it's not dropped packets, just extra travel time for the signal). I often join US servers because I find 15~40 pings on Aussie servers a little easy at times, having a slight lag is a good challenge.

One thing I also notice that most US people playing on US servers seem to have pings of about 100~250ms, sometimes my pings are better than people actually in the US. Why is that? Do you all have torrent going 24/7 or something?

That's possible although I suppose they also didn't do any shopping around for their provider. Most places in America have at least two broadband services to choose from.
