Jee, from what I hear in Australia you Americans have super fast net compared to us. I want some of whatever South Korea's taking.

Re: Now I get why Americans always complain about pictures being too big.

A comment about things like "100mbps" and "100/1000mbps" connections (plus wireless 110)...

...That's LAN speed. Theoretical limits of local connections, not the network.

Ever figured out that people have bigger monitors than you? I've had it with babies who complain about a 1200x800 image being too big despite my monitor being 1920x1200.

I'd like to see you upload a 720p full movie in less than twelve minutes.

Your wireless catcher states the connection to the access point, router, whatever it is, not the connection to the internet.

0.5mbps upload isn't that bad.

Not always. Here we can get 100mbps easily, not only for the local connection.

Today our internet was ideal, so this is my best.

Not exactly. While our internet is lousy, our health care is better than what it would be socialized.

Re: Now I get why Americans always complain about pictures being too big.

I believe I have an explanation for why America has been doing so poorly when it comes to internet connection.



Do you notice that huge empty spot on the west side? Yeah, that's America's rural area, and it's massive. I can imagine that setting up internet in those areas would be difficult.

a) Obama and his ideas are really far from socialist.
b) Europe's healthcare seems to disagree with you.

No, you really couldn't. It would require a 91mbps upspeed to upload it in exactly twelve minutes, and that's talking about a x264 compressed 720p video - if we aren't talking compressed, we'd talk about 300+ mbps speeds, which are what universities use for everyone to share... You said you'd upload it in less time. I call bull♥♥♥♥ here.

However, most people don't have a 1920x1200 monitor and it's just common courtesy to resize your images to fit an average resolution.



I tend to download stuff around 50kb/s. :L The highest I generally get is around 80-90kb/s. The other day I downloaded a 1.1gb game using one of the game download boosters and it only took 45 minutes or so. It was averaging around 500kb/s. But I never get that normally downloading, it was just a one-time thing. D:
