Because if you reply to someone AC they didn't posted by an account and won't be subscribed to the answer so chances are they will never see it anyway.

So unless it's of interest for everyone it's rather unnecessary to reply since they likely won't see it anyway.

If they ask questions/made statements which begs for a reply it would be way better if they did so from a registered account so like.. you know, one could really answer them!

The Comhem Cable from:
30-50 mbps down / 7-10 up
to:
500-1000 mbps down / 50-100 mbps.

Bredbandsbolaget from:
6-10 mbps down / 6-10 mbps up
to:
500-1000 mbps down / 60-100 mbps up.

Stadsnät providers from:
1 mbps down / 1 mbps up.
to:
100 mbps down / 100 mbps up.

I won't check all the DSL and mobile alternatives but:

Telia DSL from:
2 mbps down.
to:
60 mbps down.

Tre cellular:
4G: max 64 mbps, typical 20-40 mbps.
3G: as implemented it seem to be 42/32 mbps max, and the typical according to the 4G page seem to be half that of 4G so 10-20 mbps.

This may be it.

For me:

The telephone copper wire belong to Telia.

I can get *DSL services from them or from others depending on the station.

The cellular network belong to I believe Telia, Tele2, Tre, Telenor, Net1.

Beyond that many operators buy capacity from the networks above.

The first by Ethernet provider I got here was Bredbandsbolaget.

The Stadsnät belong to &Oumlrebro&Kumla municipal and the providers in that is Telia, AllTele, T3, Tyfon, Tele2, Bredband2, Bahnhof, Bredbandsbolaget, NETatONCE and Universal Telecom.

Finally I can also be hooked up by cable modem using Comhem.

So how many options can I pick from? A bunch.

I don't know what is considered "uncommon" and I don't know what it mean "in the cities" (anywhere in them? In them at large?)

I personally assume most people was stuck with ADSL or cable TV modem if they wanted to upgrade from telephone modem at that time.

Maybe the few of us which didn't was more vocal about the services we had.

There's some good things too though.

That conservatism and nationalism help defend US of A against throwing away the values which has always made the country great and the reason so many people on the planet long for a life in the country.

What we need in Sweden is like 50 million Americans moving in here helping vote and change our laws to those of excess and wide freedom, and then you can move to the next country and do the same, and then the next, .. ;D

Our constitutional law is changed the whole fucking time.

At the moment we have a government which in-between has decided that the smaller of the "ok" (as seen by them) two blocks isn't going to vote for their own ideas if that mean that the bigger of them wouldn't get theirs through (because the majority would had voted for something else.)

So yeah. A "fix" to enable minority rule because supposedly that's damn important because how on earth could we ever demand majority votes for things which is passed or that the majority choice is the one to go with?!

The law still say it's ruled by the people one way or the other but I guess it depends on what people you mean.. Can't entrust the voters with such a thing!

When look at how far we'd develop if we all were religious fundamentalists.

That's what scares me in Europe and in "my country" Sweden the most.

People should be free to call out the nasty destructive bullshit for what it is.

How much of value has people in say Saudi Arabia produced / capita vs the people of the US in the last 50 years?

(What I really failed to see is how something called "Games For Windows Live" could be any better than Steam. Just sounds like it's not. But I don't know. GOG likely kicks Steam ass but it's not the standard so .. Sadly the standard is kinda no standard at all so one is doomed whatever version one pick. And that really suck. Next up Xbox for Windows 10.)

G2A and Kinguin are places where either or both of the following happens:

* Some other sellers list and sell their keys which they have got in whatever way.
* Physical games are bought in Poland or Russia and a photo is taken of the key and then the games are sold and that photo delivered. Since prices are lower in those regions .. .. There's also the case where games are cheaper in say Russia or Malaysia/Indonesia or whatever on Steam and may not be restricted by region when you add them.
