I'm lookin at 20 down and 1 up here....but then again I've got the low speed tier which is supposed to be 5/1. I couldn't convince the wallet that the extra speed was worth another $10 a month.

Well, my apartment has a contract with TWC Business Class (directly wired into ethernet ports in the wall), and internet is included in my lease. If I wanted to upgrade to a 5mbps connection here, it costs an astonishing $50/month extra. Don't bother trying to make any sense of that pricing scheme.

Yep apartments suck like that.

I've been eying that new Battlefield game. I was reduced to either tethering my cell phone or using my girlfriends smartphone for about 2 months. I am just glad to be back on the REAL internet. 23 inch monitors are far greater at viewing the web than 3.7 inch phone screens.

But yes, the new Battlefield might be a purchase in the near future. I'm going to play a little TF2 and one of these bad free MMOs so that I can get used to my new keyboard, too.

I pay 62.95 for this. I get the choice of 12 down / 2 up, 16 down / 2 up, 22 down / 5 up and 50 down / 10 up. The 50 / 10 package is 99.95. While I can't see myself needing that much bandwidth, I've considered it for maybe over the summer. Comcast has their fucking retarded power boost as well. I have the third tier (22 / 5) and they claim it can get to 30 down and 7 up when power boost kicks in. I don't really bank on that and since I live in the city the speeds are little weaker than what they were out in a more rural area.

You can totes rent a room from me. =P

The minimum package here, which isn't even listed on the "tiered plans", is 6 down and 1 up. It doesn't have any magic PowerBoost either. It's also 24.99 a month.

Well I am excited about the idea of playing on dedicated servers again but the hit boxes in BF2 were terrible. I hope this release has been imporved in this area.

I haven't played a BF game since... Vietnam. 1942 and the expansions were fun and entertaining. The free Battlefield MMO thing is cute and all, but it just doesn't have what I'm looking for in a shooter. I downloaded BF2 and BF2142 and I really didn't care for either one of them, at least not enough to buy them. The graphics were pretty, but the games were meh. MW2 sounds like something I would be completely against, so I'm pretty sure it won't be on my purchased list.

I'll probably need an upgrade to get the kind of performance I'd want out of the new BF game, but that's probably a ways off, too. I'd like to jump in and enjoy something.
