NhKPaNdA 10 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yeah, speedtests say i download at 4mb/s, but thats a lie, the highest my downloads have ever been were at 450 kb/s. Atleast i dont have cap, but once i download 400gbs, my internet is severely throttled, so in that sense i do kind of have a cap, but its tolerable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ouraibaa Hjyuraa 1052 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 How much of that can you actually use? The ISP is some kind of institute, so I'd imagine that the bandwidth is spread out over 1 or more big buildings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
havoc 157 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 doing fine i guess, not nearly as high as i could get in my area but i am a cheapskate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kosakyun 789 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 My restriction is 3GB. About one VN a month. H-Holy shit. I don't know how I'll deal with that. I wouldn't be able to keep up with my hobbies if I had a cap like that. No worries. I'll give you games in the future. After all, we're in one archipelago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ISP is some kind of institute, so I'd imagine that the bandwidth is spread out over 1 or more big buildings. Well, the actual download speed is about 7MB/s at day and >10MB/s at night. Good enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zenophilious 1459 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I've been hiccuping for 10 minutes straight. They just won't stop >.> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenshin_sama 1357 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm not sure what you've tried yet, but I find that this method tends to help a lot of people and is a little less known about. Inhale as much air as you can, then exhale as much as you can, and finally hold your breathe until you can't anymore. Keep doing this until your hiccups are gone (you usually only have to do it once or twice). I know it's been like 5 hours and they're probably gone already (at least I hope they are), but give it a try if it comes up again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Poltroon 2465 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hiccups? I just stop breathing or breathe really slowly and that does it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FinalChaos 130 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I can bet that no one is in a greater misery than me right now. Yep people I am barely above the minimum speed for browsing right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hydro 119 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm not the worst one here! "Faster than 68% of AU" surprised me though, our country's internet is worse than I thought. I know some people's perception of Australia is "barren outback with animals that kill you", but the reality is more a technologically advanced, sprawling metropolis. So while I love living here, its strange to me my 850kb/s is faster than most of the country. I mean, relative to my country, I apparentally have better internet than havoc and his 50mb/s (B rank vs C rank, better than 68% vs better than 57%). The upload speed would be exaggerated as I get nothing like that in practice. When I download things I tend to max out at around 700kb/s of the 850 odd from the speed test, but it's enough for my VNs and girl cartoons. Yeah, speedtests say i download at 4mb/s, but thats a lie, the highest my downloads have ever been were at 450 kb/s. Atleast i dont have cap, but once i download 400gbs, my internet is severely throttled, so in that sense i do kind of have a cap, but its tolerable. 4 Mb/s (megabit) = 500 kb/s. Unless you meant MB/s (megabyte), but these things tend to be in megabits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brawlbankai 30 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Just ran another test just in case, it was barely any better than the previous one. And yeah, this is in megabit, so 0.73 megabit per second. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atorq 139 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Still better than some of your but cmon I live in Finland And so do I: But 7Mb/s is not that bad, we had 5 for a very long time just until recently and it's only the downloads that are a pain. Netflix, Youtube and any other streaming service worked just fine when watching 1080p content. Unless someone else got on. I can bet that no one is in a greater misery than me right now. Yep people I am barely above the minimum speed for browsing right now. How do you even internet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh wow you live in Finland didn't know that Actually I pay for 15 and usually it is that. But one thing I want is a better upload, download speed is okay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keep doing this until your hiccups are gone (you usually only have to do it once or twice). I know it's been like 5 hours and they're probably gone already (at least I hope they are), but give it a try if it comes up again. I managed to make them go away by not breathing and clamping a hand over my mouth and nose for as long as I could without hurting myself in some way. That's the best way I've found to get rid of hiccups. I've tried having someone scare me and drinking a lot of water, but neither of those helped at all. I was just getting irritated because I thought they'd go away by themselves like usual. Hiccups? I just stop breathing or breathe really slowly and that does it. Pretty much what I do. I actually developed my current anti-hiccup technique during high school when I had them so bad they hurt my throat and I was having trouble breathing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenshin_sama 1357 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Oh okay. I tried holding my breath without using any kind of inhale and exhale technique, but it didn't work for for me. I don't think I've ever seen scare tactics work on anyone, but I've seen a few get over it by drinking water. Not sure what it is that gives variation to this, but I guess there are some things that just work better for others. I actually only discovered the method I use about a year ago. Before that, I would just let it go away by itself (really sucked). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zenophilious 1459 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I googled "40k yen" to see the exchange rate, and this was the second result. I'm not exactly surprised, but why would people actually pay for that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not exactly surprised, but why would people actually pay for that? Lol that's really weird. And it was 8 years ago so the price is probably higher now if the service still exists. I wouldn't do that for free much less pay for it, just seems like a waste of time. Maybe if she's super good at video games I'd get her to unlock some harder trophies for me.

Funyarinpa 1306 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 This is actually way (WAY) better than I expected.... Keep in mind though that my internet is inconstistent as FUCK so sometimes I cannot even connect to the modem from my room and there is an issue with my network adapter where I usually need to manually update the driver software to reconnect to the internet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
