The Need for Speed...

Or what counts for speed in this country. At the start of the month I upgraded my internet to 1.5Mbps. It's only costing me $4 more each month than what I am used to paying. I get a 10% discount with my internet provider now because where I work is an agent for them. So instead of paying $59.95 a month for 512kbps with a 14/14GB download limit, I am now paying $63.96 for 1.5Mbps with 10/10GB download limit. The download limit isn't really a big deal, as a lot of my downloads are from the free peering network in WA. This month so far I have downloaded: Peak: 802.65 MB Off Peak: 186.98 MB Free Peak: 5,314.75 MB Free Off Peak: 2,790.89 MB
