looking forward for 10mbps....

3 yrs ago, i finally fed up with the so called dial up service, therefore , i opted to enjoy the so called "high speed" streamyx package.

The happiness didnt last long, as my sponsor decided to dump me into the so called "IB World school ", nightmare of waiting 2 hour for a hotmail page to load began.....

finally , 2 yr finished and i am back to my home, unfortunately, the telephone line and modem not so good as it used to be....

Therefore, it start 4 months of connected, disconnected, hanging, cant connect at night dilemma....

And now, 2 more weeks i will be staying at the Garden Hall, Imperial College, which claim to have the fastest network infrastructure among European university...... Hope things work well...

You might want to ask, what so significance about the speed, well , as far as i can tell,

10mbps means, you can stream a movie in AVI format in 11 minutes, which like watching movie in cinema....

you can download a 100mb file from rapidshare within 2 minutes, or, a song in less than 10 second....

even if you want to download software up to 2/3 GB, you probably finish it within 1 hr, provided the connection is optimize.

The sad thing is, IC still imposed 5 GB for total download and Upload volume in any 24 hr periods, but thinking about it, i will have 39 weeks times 7 days times 5 = 1365GB of download and upload volume for the next 9 months, which is more than enough for watching 2 movie perday, 2 tv series per day, get a new software every weeks, etc...

Time to get a new external hardisk...:p cheers !
