I changed my ISP: now it is WIND INFOSTRADA.

The contract sets up to 20Mpbs. Same as the contract with my previous ISP but before I obtained 16Mpbs - 0.89Mbps.
I protested for over a month and they promised each time to increase the speed by saying that my line could easily reach 24Mpbs!

Thank you WIND INFOSTRADA.
(this is just my first advertising for your very bad service. The next will have a much wider audience, be sure).

[Jaames]

Nice!

 

[LucaMs]

My intention, through my post, it was not to receive yours to increase my anger against Infostrada (it is already more than enough).

I meant to emphasize how far we are from gigabit/sec, at least here in Italy.


BTW, the call center operators do not know (or perhaps pretend) that they are bits, not bytes.

@DonManfred : Really? In Düren?! In December I will have 50 MBit here in Kerpen (is 15 MBit right now).

 

[DonManfred]

Really?

Yes

In Düren?!

Yes. Unitymedia. But wait for next year... Telekom will extend it´s Glasfiber net... More possible when going to telekom then....

 

[RandomCoder]

Yes

I'm in envy, 16MB is the best I currently get. Looking to change to fibre soon but even then I'll be lucky to get over 80MB.

About a year ago, when I still was still a terminal client install tech, I left someone here in the outskirts of Paris, Orange Operator, a (common) 600Mb/s OOKLA tested Fiber Line

 

[inakigarm]

New of today !!!

From 10 Mbps ADSL (8,5 Mbps real) to 30 Mpbs Fiber (could be 300 Mbps but 30 Mbps is cheaper...)

 

[eurojam]

wow, sitting here with 1,12 Mbps (down, Orange F 3G net) in the french alps is realy comfortable...I can read the B4A forum, that's all I wanted to do

 

[eps]

Hmm...

This is FTTC here in the UK.

We're (hopefully) moving at the end of this month and I think we'll be back to ADSL for a bit... Then hopefully FTTP! Fingers crossed on that one, it can go (alledgedly) from 50Mbps to 1000Mbps (mwah ha ha!) both ways! Although it is yet to be installed in the village...

Would it be feasible to buy a raspberry Pi, then host my own server at home using something like dyndns? I don't want to leave my PC running all day, but would love to have something very low powered running a b4j server app hooked up to my router.

 

[MaFu]

Shouldn't be a problem. Additionally to dyndns you must configure port forwarding to the Pi in your router. And buy definitely a Pi 2.

Here even at sea level, thanks to Infostrada

Once I visited Perugia, Italy.. a small university town on top of the mountains.. When I walked with some friends from Ostello to (downtown) to buy
things and have lunch, actually we had to walk while our body is 20 degrees leaning forwards. while 20 degrees backwards when came down to our Ostello.. (I was
young and had an ID for the Ostello (youth hostel).. I told my friends to call it uptown not downtown.

OMG, how am I going to get down to one server? I recently retired four servers and replaced them with one, bringing my total down to about six or seven. I don't think I can go much lower than that...

 

[sorex]

virtualize them onto a decent sever with vmware
