Time Warner 15/1 package. Yeah there is a speed boost that lasts for a couple minutes that brings me to like 25/2 but I don't count that. I always get 1.87MB/s down sustained from fast enough servers.
The largest download queue I've had was about 300GB from usenet it went at full speed the whole way.
I did hear they might be testing caps again and if that happens I'll probably switch to business class.
It's because he didn't use a proper ripping program like EAC. Who else is http://www.accuraterip.com/ able to verify my rips with other users if they are all different then? The hashes for my rips match the ones in that database when the CD is ripped properly.
Not if you use EAC (exact audio copy) in secure mode. The whole point of using EAC in secure is to rip a bit-perfect copy. This is also what databases like http://www.accuraterip.com/ are for. To see if your CD was clean enough to indeed get a prefect rip. The only way it's not going to be perfect is if your disk is too scratched.
I my friend and I both buy the same pressing of a CD and rip using EAC in secure mode its almost guaranteed we will have bit-identical copies.
Well I assume it because with my cable Internet provider its true. They never cap or throttle my speed and I have ran it full out for more than a few days in a row before without any problem.
I've easily used 1-2 TB in a month.
Of course there are limits. My internet connection at home is 15 megabits down. So my download limit per month is 4.928 Terabytes. There is no way I could go past that.
I'm sorry that you think I'm a jerk for buying an iPhone with an unlimited data plan so I can listen to Pandora at work, watch Netflix on the commute and use Skype to video call my friends.
Both Skype and Netflix have received updates to allow them to run off 3G networks. Why would they get these updates if according to you 3G technology isn't meant for these uses.
10GB isn't a lot. 128 kilobit/s audio for 8 hours a day at work for 21 work days in a month is 9.7GB alone.
Again, I sorry I actually use the features of my phone.
I agree, I think ATT provides great service.
I've been with them for 4 years now and I only have good things to say about them. Examples?
1. Their plans are cheap.
My iPhone 4 runs me $50 a month with unlimited 3G, texting and plenty of minutes with rollover.
2. Their customer service.
I upgrade my iPhone after every 12 months and they have always allowed me to do so with the full discount of $199 for the latest model. When I do the upgrade, the system automatically applies a $18 upgrade fee to my bill. I simply call customer service and ask them if it can be waived and they always have without any problem. Also when my father started using my old iPhone 2g which I unlocked for him to use on a non-iPhone SIM card, he was accidentally sipping KBs of data which incurred a charge on my bill. I just called up customer service again and explained that he doesn't use data on that line and they happily removed the data charge from my bill and offered to put in a data block on the line so it wouldn't happen again by accident or anything.
3. Technology and service quality.
Well, after using them for 4 years I can count the number of dropped calls with my fingers so not very many. Since about 2 years ago I don't think I've dropped out of 3G service more than a few times. Speed is about 3Mbit down 1Mbit up which is faster than any of my friends using Verizon or sprint around here.
4. General things
I get an electronic bill each month and it's never been confusing or had any hidden costs. My bill is exactly the same to the penny each month and I can easily account for each dime in cost.
Overall, I've been happy with the network performance, and never had a problem customer service couldn't fix and have never felt that I was charged unfairly for anything. So I just don't see how some people can seem to have so many problems with them.
I wont say that there aren't any network holes in their service (and if you live by one then by all means go with a provider that works better in that area) but I can't imagine Verizon or sprint doesn't have similar holes in some places. the USA is a large landmass to fill with cell towers. I haven't had any extensive service problems when I go on vacation or anything so it doesn't seem to me like a very big problem.
From my point of view, ATT has the cheapest smartphone plan, no problems with customer service and no problems with network service. So why would I complain about them?
In Wisconsion at an AMC theater with a new IMAX dual 4K projector setup it's only $9.25 per ticker for the IMAX version and 3D doesn't cost any extra.
Yeah, there is a good summary here with some useful links:
Portal 2 will probably be released tomorrow actually.
I'm sure it's perfect for the iPad 2 and iPhone 5 as they are dual-core so there should be plenty of background CPU cycles to add in the head-tracking.
Yes, the demo kiosks. They are running a "beta" build so I call it a beta.
There are plenty of buyers of used video cards. The main places that people look to buy them are from the For sale sections of high-end hardware forums like EVGA forums or HardOCP forums. The highest-end cards do have the best re-sale values as well.
Guild Wars 2 does not have auto attack like Guild Wars 1. You have to attack each time you want to swing.
I've already played some of the beta and this is how it was, and it had an incredible feel.
