Re: It has begun

Ogero Subscriber so far no speed upgrade and no Quota update but ping speed seems to have improved.

Personally I think the upgrade is overdue but I think that as far as prices go the quotas along with the new speeds will not result in lower monthly bills people will end up downloading more than their quota and the overages will bring their bills up to previous monthly totals or more.  I think without a true free market economy prices will always be higher than other countries the ISPs here will all price their packages close to each other +/- 10%  after all they all are more interested in their profit margin above all else.  Introduce a not for profit ISP and see how many of them last ;-P

Also you have to keep in mind that I've been using 'internet' since 9600bps if i remember it's around 1994 and I've waited for 17 years for a day where i could be happy with my connection, so forgive me if i'm irritated by someone giving me false dates.

i was there a year or two after with my 486DX2-66 and cyberia dial up connection on the most reliable US-Robotics

at that timne i had heard the ACK signal of my modem so much i could replicate it perfectly

awesome trip down memory lane :)

you can relive it here, they save pages from 1996 onward with the "way back machine"

Re: It has begun

"4 times faster" should be a phrase used in substitute for "Bullshit"

on a more related note, still no sign of action from Ogero - from what i can tell from my side at least.
