Driver Madness

Was just wondering what kind of broadband services are in everyone's countries and how much it costs.

I have 2MB broadband (which is really like 1-1.5MB) and unlimited local calls and 30 minutes to mobiles for like €60 a month ($70 roughly).

What is everyone elses?

Also, whats the fastest speed broadband you get everywhere else, for homes.

Here, it's 8MB but you can get 20MB in the capital, Dublin.

I could get 50mbpsbut it would be £50 / month, so i'll stick with 4 meg for £7.50, haven't you asked before?

Nah, I don't think so.

I might have asked that in another topic though. Not sure.

Just curious.

I have no idea what I get.

Actually i have 2MB and i pay 15 Euros every month,if you want 20MB you will need to pay 56 Euros.

Where abouts is Abacete by the way?

North or South?

South east of Spain
I live in Castilla La- Mancha State,Abacete's province,in a town called Villamalea(50 km from the capital,Albacete)
It isn't a small town,the population is more than 3000
If you look closely,in north east you will find Villamalea.

Sorry mate, never heard of Villamalea.

The only places in Spain I know are the teams in La Liga.
Really want to go to A Coruna and get a Deportivo jersey.
They cost €155 to get them over here, from Spain. f***ing crazy prices.

In Spain you surely can buy for 30,40 or 50 Euros( i'm not sure)

You know of Deportivo La Coruna?

You support any football teams?

All you need to know is that it's really expensive. I have a 250kbps connection as I can't afford anything higher than that.

Obviously i know it,the team's coach was Luis Aragones,the guy who trained the Spanish team,who won the European Cup in 2008 beating Germany
I support "Futbol Club Barcelona"(in spanish)

Yeah, the team's manager now is Lotina.

I don't like Barcelona. They're too good.

Barcelona is just awesome. Messi + Ibrahimović >>> all.

Yeah, I know, they're a great team.
But they aren't all good, I HATE Henry, he's a hand balling c*nt. (Excuse my language, but I feel its necessary).

I wish I supported them in stead of Deportivo, Deortivo are kinda crap, they're fighting for fourth spot.
The team I really like is Celtic, but they are crap ATM, they sacked their manager on Thursday.

Who do you support Nik?

Barcelona doesn't used to be a good team that it's now,before 2005 it was a crappy team and Real Madrid was the best with Zidane,Beckham,etc.It was called The "Galacticos" team(in spanish)

Yeah, I've heard them being called the Galacticos - I'm not a total idiot. LOL

OK,i didn't pretend to insult anyone,i only wanted to say that Galacticos is a spanish word

CR Vasco da Gama.

Albeit they lost 3 consecutive matches in the last 2 weeks and fired it's manager, they managed to finally win a match again yesterday. I hope they classify to the quarter-finals of this year's Campeonato Carioca.

Yeah, I've heard of them, more than likely through FIFA on the Playstation.

Celtic aren't doing to well at the moment either.

They haven't won any Old Firm games this season, they've just sacked their manager, but on the bright side, the Huns (Rangers) lost 4-1 tonight and Celtic have former captain Neil Lennon as manager.

PS, Vasco da Gama; they Brazillian?

Yup.

The service of the broadband and the speed is really depends on the country service provider and at the same time the country has control the speed of all the broadband holder that if the real speed is 10 MBPS and the country wants 2 MBPS then you can't get the higher then 2 MBPS. So the service is Dependant on the country policy.

Martine, i noticed you are using Ubuntu 9.10, why not upgrade to 10.04

I'd love to be a Finnish now. They've just signed a law that every citizen must have at least a 1GB broadband connection. And here I am, in a country with one of the worse and most expensive Internet connections that exist.

Yeah, Ireland has something like that, everyone is supposed to have access to broadband, but lots of people in rural areas don't
