i think that lots of you are getting your rates mixed up, for 100mbs it would be at a minimum 400 pounds per month, and 54mbps is an average speed for most 802.11g wireless networks

and i think it would take less than 45 minutes to download a film on 96mbs

Ah, but you guys are missing the big picture


i live in




AMERICA!!!


yeah, ok theres no white, so how am i going to be patriotic with no white?


--------------------

There are a few reasons I don't visit the forums as often as I used to, they are as follows:

1) I really don't have a lot of time.

2) My hardrive is failing

3) The forums honestly frustrate me to a point I cannot stand it, I've tried to help, I've tried to set people straight, but apparently, the health of these forums only matters to a few people. Thats just sad, most of us have grown along with these forums and along BB and frankly its disgusting to see the way you guys act sometimes...

until you pull your acts together, don't expect to see me around much.

This is what Ive said for the past couple months every time has requested source: BB source is highly unlikely because the mod team (Ironoak) has decided to use the crystal engine to create an rpg, although they have said there is a small chance of going to source but please, for the sake of all mankind, do not request a port and/or create polls, or even useless threads about the porting of BB, because it is most likely not going to happen, thank you for reading.

Oh man, are you guys gonna get SCREWED.

I hope you know they block all non standard ports(basically everything apart from http traffic) and you can only use services like Steam from 1AM to something like 8AM?

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...threadid=433455

Has more details, you better hope you can cancel that offer before it gets there.
