Hey d00ds, well me is from the UK yeah.. and over here we are mostly still using the crappy 56k modem dailup hahaaa.. its crap!

Cable and ADSL is only just starting to arise and it aint coming out in my area for a few months http://www.speedguide.net/ubb/frown.gif

But using a UK dailup to online games i get a ping of about 130-150 :E thats playing kingpin :laugh: cable users are getting pings of about 40 and ADSL are getting pings of about 60-80.

ADSL only allowing 512kbps and ADSL 512kbps but cable was released later than ADSL and pings are getting higher due to the bandwidth being used more.

Goood the UK are soo far being, you lot are on about 2+ mbps aaaahhhh

i wanna come live over there, you lot are still moaning with the connection, will it ever stop?? noooooo!!

hehe..

Just talking a load of shite as per usual

Ya it seems like the british teleco needs major upgrading. Just wondering, is there a limit to how long you can be online in the UK?
