[asianpridefOru]

my college has 70mbps upsteam and downstream. I can dl movies, music and etc. O_o

[salsoolo]

i have her same keyboard and mouse lol :D

[OmarThePug]

I can't wait for somebody to take over my box and use my 20Mbps line for a DDoS attack! Woohoo!

[telmnstr]

Great, just what we need. Thousands of people with infected Windows computers, compromised and under the control of botnets, with 20mbps upstream of bandwidth for attacks.

[BloodxGusher]

omg is this faster than T1 and T3?

[Bryan1342]

BloodxGusher:

T1 is 1.5MB/s 20mb/s is around 2.5MB/s

So, faster than T1.

[meowsauce]

T1 is not 1.5MBytes/s ...try 1.5 Mbits/s

Regardless, its many times faster than T1...

[Bryan1342]

Sorry, meant Megabits

[asianpridefOru]

I agree with you. many ppl think t1 is one of the fastest internet in today society. >.>

[n0n4y]

Everything is getting faster.Can we now go 100mhp on the highway?

[helimeef]

Well I'm not sure what MHPs are, but futurists say that cars will be controlled by computers by 2037 and average highway speed will be about 200 MPH. I think this is bull, but just figured I'd let ya know.

[Inmate527]

In the 1950 scientist said that their would be flying cars by 2000.

[helimeef]

lol, or that airports would have no wait time and food would be served to you via "human interface machines" (computers lol) by 1990-95.

It's sad how bad we are at predicting future events.

[Inmate527]

lol.

[sWErVU2]

but guess what that all they did they said they took no action on creative or inavation flying cars becuase they fell in love with those cars of today that why todays cars resemble old 50s cars dont fall in love with a machine.

[sWErVU2]

i dont think its bull becuase look at our air planes and trains they today. They are controlled by computers and are automatic.

[helimeef]

Yeah but planes are not traveling in heavy traffic, and trains don't need to steer.

I can see a computer doing a much better job than a human at controlling a car, but what happens when some crazy guy hacks one and kills 100 people?

I'm sorry I should rephrase my comment; "I think this is a bad idea, bu..."

lol

[sWErVU2]

you have a point there i see a day coming in human society that all humans will lose power to machines and that day isn't very long because look around you. People are more reliant to machines that ever before and the number keep growing.

[helimeef]

Can you imagine the chaos if America alone got hit with an EMP?

No cars, no cell phone, no communication, no flashlights, NOTGHING...

We couldn't even fire an EMP back for several months because of the massive power outage!

Also, I don't know what I would do without my computer :) It's my job pretty much (I design websites and Mac OS X Software).

[Firestunt]

I hate Verizon

[helimeef]

And Verizon hates you.

[Firestunt]

Nah, they love me, I've been with them a long time.

I posted my orignal snarky comment after a long struggle with Cust Service trying to get my DSL fixed.

I got the 5mb FIOS now and it's great.

[sinsagoodmansbrother]

Bullshit...

[ztmike]

What about Chicago?????

[chulo258]

Nice. I live in Floral Park, Queens NY and they installed fiber in may, but they still haven't activated it yet!

HURRY UP VERIZON, TIME WARNER IS RIPPING ME OFF! :(
