Marc Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Once upon a time there was a person call Marc who had a 3mb download speed and 0.25mb upload speed on his internet. This had been the case for many a year as nobody wanted to give him a house that was in a cable area. One day a new fibre provider called BT Infinity was brought out, so Marc thought to himself "Hmmm this looks good, I'l have it!". Much to Marcs dismay he was told he couldn't have this as the new magical powers had not been extended to his realms. Months and months Marc waited, until one day (today) a man turned up at his house and said "Sir, I am the BT wizzard and I am here to give your computer magical powers", and with a wave of his magic broadband meter he made this happen!!!!

Elyse Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I thought this post was going to be about fibre and how it helps you with digestion. But then I read and I was like: "Oh, 'fibre' is another weird British word that means something completely different!" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazz Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Pretty sure its fibre optics everywhere LOL We spell it a bit different. It's fiber-optics here in the Colonies. But essentially pronounced the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lucky your not posting by carrier pigeon LOL I was surprised that I was faster than @Rosemary, from what I've read we ( the US ) are one of the slowest "developing" counties when it comes to internet speed and availability. @SolitaryHowl must be benefiting from her proximity to Toronto ... ??

Actually, I'm in Sudbury right now...which is 4+ hours away from Toronto. The server that was from was in Barrie, which is 3 hours away from me (in Sudbury)...or 150 miles. If there was a server that was near me, I'm sure my 'grade' would be better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormchaser09 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 definately carrier pigeon would be quicker for me, download 1.54, upload 0.36 and 79ping no idea what it all means other than mine wind hands down for the slowest speed ever.
