You upload faster then I can download. You find you're maxing out your 13mb connection a lot?

Is that MBit or Mbyte/sec?

Anyway, if it's not too expensive the faster one then go ahead, always nice with faster internet. [thumbup]

You can never go wrong with a faster internet service. Just make sure it's not one of those companies that throttle stuff.

It really depends on the site, but yeah, sometimes.



I decided to go for it, my UL is now 5.13mb but my DL is only 15mb, decided to see if it was my router, and well... ****.[cursing]


And yeah, it's megabits.



Anyone want to recommend a good router?


Edit: I already confirmed that they do not throttle blued888.

Just to add, I picked up the D-Link DIR-825 wireless router (to run wired). Got it at best buy for 129.99 + tax (usd). I have to say the D-Link setup beats the crap out of the Linksys setup. Overall, I'm really pleased [yes]
