Default My college internet blows.

Here's a wonderful example of how bad it can suck sometime. This is a log of me messaging myself on AIM. Take a note of the times.

[11:02] banditcom: hmm
[11:03] banditcom: FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT RNS
[11:05] banditcom: omg
[11:06] banditcom: hmm
[11:08] banditcom: FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT RNS
[11:08] banditcom: omg
[11:09] banditcom: jeeze
[11:13] banditcom: jeeze
[11:13] banditcom: ...
[11:14] banditcom: ...

By the way, RNS is Residential Network Support.

My connection sucked last year but has improved somewhat this year.

At least this year I can let AIM idle for over 10 minutes without it disconnecting itself.

And I have yet to have any <500 bps downloads this year.

I know what you mean, DLing anything at 25MB/s really is terrible, I mean who wants to wait less than a minute for a 700MB DivX rip?
