Grav 2007-04-06 08:07 PM

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

Asamin 2007-04-06 08:10 PM

Why aren't you paying a dime??

Dar_Win 2007-04-06 08:11 PM

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

WetWired 2007-04-06 08:15 PM

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

Asamin 2007-04-06 08:21 PM

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

Grav 2007-04-06 08:22 PM

This fast ------> .

Lenny 2007-04-07 05:10 PM

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 2007-04-07 06:07 PM

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

Mantralord 2007-04-07 08:46 PM

I get about 14 mbit down on my Comcast connection.

Dar_Win 2007-04-07 09:31 PM

Where is the server?

WetWired 2007-04-07 09:43 PM

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

WetWired 2007-04-07 09:44 PM

Dallas.

Dar_Win 2007-04-07 10:22 PM

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

Wait, WW you live in Dallas?

MightyJoe 2007-04-07 11:25 PM

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

Willkillforfood 2007-04-08 01:07 AM

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

"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 2007-04-08 10:55 AM

except your ping times are european

WetWired 2007-04-08 11:08 AM

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 2007-04-08 07:14 PM

Is the server at the Infomart by any chance?

WetWired 2007-04-09 07:48 AM

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

Medieval Bob 2007-04-09 10:21 AM

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! 2007-04-09 10:37 AM

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

Lenny 2007-04-09 10:42 AM

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! 2007-04-09 11:14 AM

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

Lenny 2007-04-09 11:19 AM

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! 2007-04-09 11:29 AM

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 2007-04-09 11:31 AM

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

Dar_Win 2007-04-10 02:26 PM

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

Lenny 2007-04-10 02:30 PM

Hahaha! That's amazing!! :p

I love you WW! :D

!King_Amazon! 2007-04-10 02:35 PM

Poo face.

Lenny 2007-04-10 02:42 PM

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! 2007-04-10 02:43 PM

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

Medieval Bob 2007-04-11 11:32 AM

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! 2007-04-11 11:54 AM

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 2007-04-12 07:37 PM

hows this bitch woop

Dar_Win 2007-04-19 08:10 AM

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


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

Willkillforfood 2007-04-19 08:57 AM

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

!King_Amazon! 2007-04-19 09:10 AM

Which would mean it's trapped in time forever.
