Meh. 100Mbit and 200 jitter STILL sucks hairy dogs bollocks.

[rb]

[TriniXaeno]

lol @ 200ms jitter

yeah, they need to work on that, seriously.

low pings ftw

Have more than enough bandwidth as is.

What would have been great, was a 1mb upload for the $199.99 package.

Would have downgraded from the 10mb for that.

[Crixx_Creww]

well yu said it correct
you woulda downgrade...less money por flow
but wow... they real over doing it now..
my latency is just fine ty very much
i wil gladly take that upgrade to 5 megs
tstt.. your move

This^^

But flow come on give us a good upload at least

[Spazosaurus]

I simply cannot stomarch giving 'slow' $400 a month for fcuking retarded service I have been getting of late.

I will simply have to learn to live with quarter the upload speed and half the download for the $200.

Current 2Mbps users, how your Battlefield goes in terms of ping? Any allyuh around?

[haterforever]

i have the 2mb and i hardly have problems with bc2. ping stable except for a couple weeks back when everyone had problems.
i get an avg ping of 33 from speedtest and avg ping of 94-104 on bad company 2 sever browser. the week things were bad i was gettin 187 as the lowest so i didn't play that week.

[Crixx_Creww]

i also have 2 mbit and do not know what this slow or "lag" is that you speak of

and .. a couple days/weeks/months? of less than optimal service from flow
vs a lifetime of DELIBERATE SHAFTING!! from tstt
nah man
does not compute

[suzieboy]

i also have 2 mbit and do not know what this slow or "lag" is that you speak of

Same here an i livin South

[Fkacn_tt]

will we need a modem upgrade for packages >50mb since that looks like DOSIC3 speeds.

[Spazosaurus]

Well I have been having no end of horrors with my connection.

But good to hear @ bess play with 2meg. Im definitely going to be downgrading. I refuse to pay more for participation in lagfest 2010. They lucky I doh go back Blink.

[Saxito Pau]

Time for a downgrade indeed ...Especially when you hardly at home

Save that $150/month for some good use

[Spazosaurus]

Flow is some bastards. Why the HELL they eh keep the existing packages and offer these new ones separate.

I HATE strongarm tactics that basically making you pay more just so. I doh care if is 1gig down, doh make me pay more. F**K man.

[TriniXaeno]

lol @ lagfest 2010

I dunno, I feel its areas that are congested that getting shaft.

People always said flow would be great in the beginning but deteriorate to shit when everyone in your area got the service.

I'm starting to believe that's true.

However, I've also heard tstt bought into flow. So maybe they starting to shaft us like the green machine, since we're back to no competition.

Either way, not impressed at all with these offerings.

I should have 1mb upload but it behaves closer to 256k.

Shuddering at the thought of what the 256k upload behaves like.

On the other hand, maybe I'll pay for 256k and get precisely that.....at least it won't be robbery then.

decisions, decisions.

[Spazosaurus]

My main concern is how it behaves in gaming.

Them men give the green light dey already.

Besides, it cant be worse than the shaft I already getting.

[captainchris]

well if u gonna get ur connection for gaming alone ( which makes no sense to me ) i guess u gonna have to wait and get feedback if u want to upgrade.

but i download alot of 1080p movies.so i am glad for this


i get my speeds we

10mbit down ( 1.2megabytes per sec easy )
1mbit up

more like 900 up tho

browsing on my macbook pro is nice..i cant imagine it gettin better

[Arcmanov]

Well, I recently got the 2 Mb package, so yay for 5 Mb.  As for lag, well, you guys never heard me complain yet.
I gettin mih speed, all the time.  Yes the upload could be better, but 1000 VSS kills later, who's complaining?  

OK, so I'm paying $10 extra for an extra 3 Mb in bandwidth!!?  HOT DAMN!!!  Thanks Flow.  Full of Win you are.
