Today I read something on how your ISP puts a cap on your download speed. And they place that cap inside of your cable box outside of your house.
I’m supposed to be getting 3.5mbps, because that’s what my ISP promised me, instead I am getting a measly 500kbps.
So anyways I went to this little box, spent about 2 hours trying to open it and took me 2 minutes to remove the cap. Yea, I was suprised. I jumped back on my computer, started a download of Americas Army and BLAM! My download speed was about 2.5-3.0 mbps and the download was so fast I lulz’ed.
So I just wanted to know, what’s your download and upload speed!
DISCUSS!!!
Oh and Find your download and upload speed!

So what’s a good lie when you get caught?
Luckily fiber optics is coming to our city. Hopefully it won’t be much longer. I got to test it at an old place I used to get tutored and that shit is hella fast. Way better than cable.

See what caps do? They deceive you.
Oh and Mr.Bungle the cap is a silver-grayish little round thing with 2 wires connected to it.

I don’t think that it’s coming here(Gerogia) for while. Maybe by the next election and maybe I can vote from home.
