Joe + Cable = Wee!

Charter plans to run cable to my area this April, and my parents, tired of never using the internet (I'm always on), have agreed to get it the first week its available.

I'll post more information as soon as I find it. Aparently its going to be 3mbps. Whatever it is though, its going to pwn the shit out of my dial-up. It's gonna pwn the shit outta (satelite) DSL too, cuz thats an automatic 7,000MS ping.

You might be right about that, Joe.

Goddamn.

Congratulations. 3 mbps is pretty sexy downstream compared to your shitty dial-up. ;)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

700 (A full CD -- MB) / 3 (3 mbps) == ~233 (seconds)
233 / 60 == 3.88333 == 4

Now, we never get what they tell us we're going to get though. Lets say worst case senario.. 1/4 the speed we're supposed to get..

4 * 4 == 16.

I can download a Slack ISO in 16 minutes.

16 * 2 == 32

I can download both Slack ISOs in 32 minutes.
What would you prefer? 32 minutes, or 12 days? (Depending on 100MB a night. I don't always get that.)

We're supposed to get 6mbps downstream on this cable line, but even with all downloads off, my father said the other day he tested at 4 - 5. Comcast's probably gonna get a call about ripping us off ;)

Incidentally, speed is measured in megabit, not megabyte.  So 3mbps = 3/8mb/s, which is something like 400kb/s.  Same as me :)
