In my opinion I can't see why consumers need higher speeds than this, I never reach the max speed because the sending end doesn't, exept using usenet.
Luckily not everyone is as shortsighted as you are...
And when using usenet my single SATA drive can hardly keep up.
Check your hardware, copying files from my home server goes with a speed that's at least 500 Mbit... Let me guess your internal network is only 100Mbit...
I think the fast speeds being offered now by the cable ISPs here is to proof to our government they don't need to invest in fiber networks and let the market take care of itself
What fast speeds. 10Mbit up is NOT enough... maybe for the coming 1 or 2 years but after that it's probably no longer enough.... and that 10Mbit up I only get when I take the most expensive subscription. I want a symmetric connection.
CAI Harderwijk is just a small provider with probably a relatively new network. UPC and Ziggo all have networks that are largely more than 20 years old with all the age problems included. Theoretically they will be able to do the same, practically not...
In the neighbourhood where I live, there will be fiber next year and I predict a marginalization for UPC in the coming years around here...They just won't be able to keep up...
A country that now allows city mayors to issue search warrants without aproval from a judge and even without any prior suspicion of criminal activity. A country that is slowly making sure that we are never anonymous anywhere.
Nonsense, in the Netherlands a search warrent is not issued by the city mayor...
A country that is slowly making sure that we are never anonymous anywhere.
As is every other country in the world if it's citizens have any freedom left...
That's not the main cause. In the early days, whey you heard a song you liked, you had to buy the album (if it wasn't released as a single). Now, if you hear a song you like, you buy that track on iTunes and ignore the rest of the album...
I guess you all can do the accounting yourselves...
That took you a long time to come to that conclusion...
I'm sure the CoS will explain why their detractors are "like Nazis" oppressing religious freedom, their speech thus outlawed - enjoy that hurdle.
Except that the CoS is considered not to be a religion in Germany.
There is a small problem with the French regarding the Tour: They're not thrustworthy in their judgement. If Floyd Landis had been named Richard Virenque the tests would probably have mysteriously disappeared. I'm not saying that he didn't cheat, but the French are very often using double standards regarding cycling...
I guess it has something to do with Armstrong winning the tour 7 times in a row which their own heroes Anquetil and Hinault never could...
Would it be possible to wipe them both of the face of the earth?
I'm not sure where you're living but here the average car does a bit more on a tank of gas... 700 to 800 is more realistic around here....
I wouldn't even buy a car which only does 500km on 1 tank of gas...
Not to burst your bubble, but here in the Netherlands there are AFAIK no providers with limits. I think that for the most you can scrap Europe from your list (well except for Belgium)...
Yup, you're right....
Those two are the same one as far as I know. There's a 10% transfer tax on the purchase of a house, and it's usually paid by the buyer and funded by the mortgage.
And who do you think is paying the mortgage...
Add to that... about 70% extra excise on petrol, extra excise on liquor, sigarettes etc, and several other articles...
If you sell your house you have to pay, if you buy a house you have to pay... if you buy a new car you have to pay (on top of the tax)...
And probably there are some more taxes I just missed...
Nope, I well tell you (in the case of 31-3-2009) that it is "31 maart 2009"
They're not dug by slave labour. Most of the canals are way older than the 17th century... They're from the time we were still part of the Spanish empire.
What the gods would destroy they first submit to an IEEE standards committee.
