Re: it IS still the upload, stupid
I have 8/768 and I would be happy with 3/1
They say more people use the internet for just emails and such, well here is a quote from something I read from a gaming site... "Roger, our numbers guy pointed out that in the heyday of Halo 2, just after launch, we were seeing about 20 million games per month. Well, guess what? We're seeing about 20 million games per month still, almost two years down the line." This is just from 1 game mind you and the numbers are even much much higher for PC games. Most in here are adults that talk more tech. stuff. you wont find your kids in here, they are in gaming forums talking about Lag there, not here. The internet is in need of more upload and not to just move pictures and video. Microsoft is big in software and in the past few years has moved in a big way to games for a reason.
If Fios comes, you might not see the need for it but your kid will be asking for it because they want the speed. Some day you kid will decide for himself.
Fiber should have been here yesterday. It is the power of the ISP in that area that will decide if you get more or not, another ISP moves in with more speed,then you will see changes with your ISP.
I like my service with comcast, for the most part has always been dependable to a point. For me now it's not a matter of how good they have been for me, I will go with the best service for my needs which is speed and I would drop them in a heart beat just because of the games being played. |
