Holy SHIT - Slow ass internet

So I just popped over to my friend's house to chill out and I brought my laptop along so I could get on totse and IRC. I decided I would quickly update my Backtrack Linux distro, so I fired up the terminal and entered the commands... Now I'm downloading at a HORRIFIC speed, and I can't even load half the pages on Totse without an insane lag! :facepalm:

I hate when people have shitty internet connections :(

    I feel your pain lol, if I want to use the internet outside my house my 3G modem only gets a GPRS signal (rural area), it downloads at 8 kb/s max. :(

    That's not something to complain about. Mail used to take months to get from one end of the continent to the other.

    I should have considered USB tethering with my Android device - I could have gotten much better speeds this way!

    I've been getting 1.5 megabytes per second dling on this connection. Be jealous! Don't worry though, I'll let you borrow a couple hundred kb/s.

    Get a white or yellow modem next time. They work alot faster than the black ones.

    Meh, I'm trying to download a movie at my local internet cafe at the moment. Course there are six other people doing similar things so I feel you on the speed issue :(

    Yeah having slow internet sucks, but just imagine what your friend has to go through on a daily basis haha. You get what you pay for I guess
