You're aware ping varies from server to server yes? I like gaming with 5ms ping ;)

Why does every thread like this turn into a "Post your internet speed" thread? Seriously.

I got the update sometime at the end of june and it's been amazing ever since, I normally get 800 - 900 kb/s downloading from rapidshare.

my fastest result has been:

Thats alright but I don't have a BIT line due to a tree knocking it down. If we wanted one it would charge us, so stuff that. Virgin all the way. :)

My internet is fine for games etc.

I have only problem where mine seems to cut off every so often if im over-using it loads (msn cam, habbo, youtube).
i dont know why it does it though :)

Faster broadband is always better.

Always. No exceptions.
