Old connection: ~30 mbps. (Total bill for TV and Internet: ~$100.00) New connection, total bill went up $20.
not sure what I get. on old copper telephone lines, in a 40 year old apartment bldg. tv never pixelates like shaw cable used to do. have you got fiber optic cable infrastructure OP?
Yep. AT&T has been laying fiber cable as fast as they can. We're a working class neighborhood so if we're getting it means the hoi polloi have had it for a while now. The great thing is that the 'net operates as fast as anything else on my computer. I'm almost tempted to get into online gaming.
the US is prolly 5 years ahead of canada. remember buying an awesome Sony trinatron 38 inch tv. 176 pounds of entertainment. great sound, picture pretty good. why are they selling it so cheap- oh , flat screen TV's. doh. can carry my 46 inch tv under 1 arm.
I watched a guy try to load a 70" TV onto his Corvette convertible Monday. He was near tears and I had to take pity on him. "Call a cab company, have them send you a minivan. Put the TV in that and follow the cab to your house." Cheaper than renting a van for an hour.
that'd make it a hard top convertable. they are worth more. I drove home from home hardware with 5 feet of drainpipe out passenger window. think jousting.
good lead into what 5g entails. why do I need 5g again? what are its benefits what are the concerns hope I dont get censored, because this thread could infringe on politics. if a picture of booze shows up, lefty has struck again. nothing but the best, y'know.
The benefits are super fast connection...this will open up the possibility of autonomous cars...aerial/flying taxis and super computers to name but a few necessary upgrades. Download movies in less than a second kind of thing (buffering should be a thing of the past). I haven't heard much in the downside except that the power of these transmissions are going to be stronger, which will probably mean more and bigger towers. The emmisions from these towers are said to be more powerful than now...
Actually we use a dart board to decide when to censor you, tends to be 96% accurate I'm kidding of course. Or am I?
thanks for the dart isn't the collected data kind of showing that cell phones are carcinogenic can feel my ear get hot after 10-15 minutes.
The cancer thing is a myth/conspiracy theory. But if you're really worried, just hold it in front of you instead on your ear. Or get a ear bud.
That would be due to heat from the mobile device, rather than the signals being transmitted/recieved from the mobile device as part of normal operation. Don't believe me? Run a streaming video on your phone for 20 minutes or so to put the processor under load and then touch the screen or case -- it'll likely feel hot (more obvious for some phones than others).
Downloading /pha. Four thousand files d/l'd in one half hour. (PDF heavy.) The progress bar looks like Sonic Hedgehog trying to catch the Roadrunner.
UNLESS the electromagnetic radiation reaches critical mass due to quantum reactions with one's tinfoil hat. The tinfoil's inherent reflectometric properties causes the radiated fields to coagulate in one's brain. This not only causes cancer but also makes the tinfoil transparent to spy satelite rays!
The speed 900+ is fake because measured inside the internet provider (AT&T) network. The provider internal network is technically very different from the Internet, fast speeds are easy and the norm there. But it's not the Internet. There is nothing on that network worth connecting to, the internet is outside of it. Click Change Server (lower right), select servers in California and Europe, and calculate an average of the speeds. That will be the real speed of your connection. The benefits of 5G are limited, it is actually an old technology, it trades range for speed. 5G is mostly marketing, especially the "autonomous cars" claim is fake. All Gs and all radio transmissions are safe for living things. It's a well-established fact. if someone finds evidence to the contrary literally the entire science of physics as we know it will be destroyed.
Would the birds fried by the Jim Creek transmitter count? Put enough power in a radio transmission and it can quite clearly be less than safe. Microwave ovens for instance are not safe for most living things although roaches apparently are rather impervious.
