Well, this is more a story than a problem, but I am moving in with my grandmother, because I refuse to live with the people my mother is living with, and because it would be to hard to get to school if I did. So anyways, I am a born gamer, was basically born with a gameboy. Now I face my worst nightmare. My grandmother gets 1MBPS download when shes lucky most the time its around 0.5MBPS, and shes paying for a 1.5MBPS service and there one of the only 2 service providers out there..so I figure, no problem they offer 5MBPS, I will just pay for that for my grandmother..so she gets around to calling them..and gets done, I am smiling thinking 'Soon I will be able to game' then she says 'They only offer 1.5MBPS here' and I was about to cry.. so now here I am stuck with 1.5MBPS internet which is very hard to game on, and the fastest possible is 2.0MBPS through clearwire..Ugh..$60 a month!!
![]() So here I am, an enthusiast gamer and enthusiast 'Builder' w/ the slowest internet EVAR!

Dude, I'm on 680 kbps speed right now! It's the only thing I can afford. It's actually not so bad. Download times suck, but no lag when gaming (seriously!)

Com112, and Idiot for shame gentlemen. Why would you guys post your high speed connection details to someone whos feeling down about having slow internet speeds? To rub it in? Have some heart.
$60 for 2Mbits a second is criminal. I feel for you M3T4LM4N222
