I'm getting Verizon Fiber Optic

[Dar_Win]

-15 mb/s download speeds
-800 some channels including ondemand and playboy channel ;)
-They're estimating they will only be here for an hour or two
-Crazy game speeds
-My pages will load faster than anyone on Zelaron
-I'm not paying a dime

What's not to love? :grin: :grin: :grin:

[Grav]

Neat. Watch out for verizon, they will burn you.

[Asamin]

Why aren't you paying a dime??

[Dar_Win]

Landlord is getting it, I don't pay utilities.

[WetWired]

I've heard that the phone companys' fiber TV has issues, but that was months ago. Good luck.

[Asamin]

You are the single luckiest person!!
I can't imagin how fast Diablo LOD would run on that.

[Grav]

This fast ------> .

[Lenny]

You lucky bugger!!

And I thought upgrading from 2mb to 5mb was fast. :rolleyes:

Enjoy it! And just hope that your landlord doesn't try to force you out - you'll never want to leave your apartment again! :p

[Chruser]

Very nice! The channel part sounds awesome too! But no, you won't load Zelaron faster than me. HAHAHA!

[Mantralord]

I get about 14 mbit down on my Comcast connection.

[Dar_Win]

Where is the server?

[WetWired]

How's that work? Every cable modem I've ever seen has 10-BaseT ethernet.

[WetWired]

Dallas.

[Dar_Win]

Then my page loading > Chrusers.....for sure.

Wait, WW you live in Dallas?

[MightyJoe]

Mine is supposedly up to 10, can't really see a need for faster than that though.

[Willkillforfood]

I remember when my 500 kilobytes a second was insanely fast =P.

[Chruser]

I get about 14 mbit down on my Comcast connection.

"Up to 100 Mbps downstream, up to 10 Mbps upstream."

In reality, about 30 Mbps downstream, 16 Mbps upstream. No transfer cap. Around $26/month.

[Mantralord]

except your ping times are european

[WetWired]

No, I don't live in Dallas. The server is in a datacenter in Dallas. When I went to drop off the server, I was surprised to find that the building is above ground and covered in glass windows...

[Medieval Bob]

Is the server at the Infomart by any chance?

[WetWired]

Yeah, that's what it was called. Had forgotten myself, untill you mentioned it.

[Medieval Bob]

Coo. I had a friend that worked there back in the day. We had a lan there once. Best. internet. ever. A buddy of mine has a screenshot that says -1 ping.

[!King_Amazon!]

How is a -1 ping possible. It's like dividing by zero.

[Lenny]

I've just noticed something... how long have custom titles been under people's names? !K_A! has "Evil Santa!" beneath his, I have "Resident Crazy Guy" below mine... except not everyone's is shown. H'interestink.

And yeah, how is a -1 ping possible?

[!King_Amazon!]

It's something new today, I didn't notice it this morning when I was on.

[Lenny]

Interesting how it's only shown up for a few of us so far - the only three I've seen with it are you, myself, and Kagom.

[!King_Amazon!]

And oddly enough, me, you, and Kagom are the 3 top active members. Perhaps it's WW screwing with the activity system or some sort of new reward for having your activity so high.

I checked Grav, him being the 4th most active, and it isn't showing for him. I didn't bother looking at anyone after that because I don't care.

[Lenny]

Well ain't that something? Must be a reward for being so active. :p

[Dar_Win]

o_O Holy crap. I guess Lenny gets a special thing for being #1?

[Lenny]

Hahaha! That's amazing!! :p

I love you WW! :D

[!King_Amazon!]

Poo face.

[Lenny]

Don't worry, !K_A!; keep going at the rate you are and you'll have it instead of me, soon... unless everyone with 100% has it, in which case we'll both have it.

[!King_Amazon!]

Perhaps I already have it but you just don't know and can't see it. Ho ho!

[Medieval Bob]

It's not possible. I don't know wtf it was, but he showed everybody in the room. You can't have a ping of 0 either for that matter. The lowest ping I got when I was there was 3.

[!King_Amazon!]

I think I vaguely remember seeing pings of -1 in starcraft with some hack I used, I think it would say -1 for the host. Maybe he was hosting the game or something, that's the only way I could see you having a ping of 0 or -1. Not that that even makes any sense.

[Mantralord]

hows this bitch woop

[Dar_Win]

They're her putting it in. :jump: :jump: :grin: :grin: :)


If you couldn't tell, I'm excited.

[Willkillforfood]

A -1 ping would mean your data is traveling faster than the speed of light ...

[!King_Amazon!]

Which would mean it's trapped in time forever.
