I have mobile broadband and it is shit. It is really slow and it is not worth downloading anything substantial with it.

I got pissed at AT&T yesterday about their slowness in processing a refund.  I told the guy that since they were so slow, I wanted to drop my Ultra High Speed Access (or whatever it's called.)  He started in about I would be going down to whatever.  I interrupted him and said, "Bits, bytes or bastards.  It makes no difference to me."  Silence on the other end.  Then a meek, "Yes ma'am.  It may take up to four hours for it to go into effect."  I think he may have misheard "or" as "you."

This was the best of three.  It can vary between 5-13mb

I usually get the advertised 15 Mbps, but my Internet doesn't seem very reliable. Probably due to the modem I'm renting from the cable company only working well when it wants to.

My download speed usually goes around 900kb/1mb per second easily.

Let's just say it's slow, but still better than the alternative which is dial up.  :laugh:

I get 10 down and 1 up.  I have been uploading 125 GB of video to Google Drive for the past two weeks :(
