I still remember the dial-up days god i do NOT miss that sounds beeeeeee bebe beeeeeeeeeeeep kinda annoying, ever since i started to get my social assistance $ I've been paying for my own internet nothing fast cause where i live we don't have fiber optic cables best i have right now is 100 download 80 upload. Though never get fooled by the high "speeds" they report they measure it in most - all ISP measure in Mbps which is much different to the Mb/s people normally use.
EX: 1 Mbps is 0.125 mb/s
if we take my download speed i said a moment ago:
100 Mbps is 12.5 Mb/s
so never feel cheated if you get lower speeds than you read cause more than likely they're measuring Mbps.
