Me? Maybe, yeah. If I was renting and there was another place up the road that was very similar and could get cable, why not?

I run 8mb here have done for few years now its fine, find i dont need anymore to be honest.. i download the odd film game over night when sleeping takes like 3hrs 40 tops i think it is for full dvd size.

Hardly in a rush and all streaming is fine with it regarding youtube etc etc.. Im not on virgin but Bt, but ive had virgin bb before bt in diff house and was also all fine no trouble in 3 years i had that with them..

I guess the good thing for me is though, cause ive been with bt long term all paid no issues, i get the exchange upgrade to 20mb line in november for no extra cost change on bill ... but not suprising as they will prob be bringing the prices down lol.. Knowing them buggers ill be still paying more than the avg joe that signs up new for 20mb lol..

Oh boy oh boy... Grow up kids. 8MB is more than you can use anyway. What you gonna do? leech the interwebz 24/7?

Just make a queue and go to bed and when you wake up, even with 100kb/s you will have 5GB. So i really do not see the problem?

Why do you think 50Mb speeds exist, people want stuff quickly. Leaving my PC on all night, 7 days a week would cost me an extra 20 pounds a month at least in electric (had a meter at my old place).

No thanks. Rolling Eyes

oh yeah, only an 8MB connection is a horror to live with... You guys really still leeching DVDRs 24/7 and then just throwing them away?

I've had a 100kb/s connection for almost 10 years now and i still have more shit downloaded then i can play or watch.

Then of course nobody needs anything higher! You are correct, sir. Your wisdom in this area is unmatched and Microsoft,Apple+ all ISP providers should use your for marketing strategies.

Then your computer is on 24/7 and you don't watch much or use the internet for anything else than leeching.

@ zipfero

Exaggerating doesn't make for good arguments. I'm with spankie, you can live with 8mb just fine. Maybe it would be cool for some ppl to have more, but definitely no biggie, your movie will take half an hour or a full hour more to download, so what ?

I'm on 2mbit, lol, and I still download everything I want to, even hugeass games, it just takes many hours, but you know, RL or sleep can fill those pretty good.

Since when has internet speeds been about necessity? It's a luxury item and talking about needs are completely redundant. You could survive just fine with a 256/128 ADSL connection if you really had to but this isn't about needs it is about want. If you are a car nut and you restore muscle cars you don't put a Hyundai engine in your chevy do you? "Pfff 40 miles an hour is just fiiiiiine, you'll get there eventually"

In Poland there is 25 MB connection available for ~30 dollars a MONTH.

I currently have 10MB but after my agreement is finished they upgrade it for free to 25 MB.

And there is a 120 MB one for 70 dollars. Laughing

well since i had to move twice this year i am on a mobile UMTS/HSDPA connection atm
it starts with 768/384 kb/s
and when i am over 400 MB data (monthly) the connection speed becomes 128/64 kb/s
so in general that happens on the 1st of each month Laughing
and btw that is b for bits
needless to say this sucks big-time
anyway i ordered a cable connection with a decent 20Mb down and something up
i can count me lucky we do have some competition between the providers
