Kenshin_sama Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Eh, even if I were given the option, I still wouldn't take Norton. Pretty much everything on my computer was running slower and I even had to run 3rd-party software to get rid of it. Plus, having the extra protection isn't really worth the extra resource usage. Sure, MSE can let some malware through on occasion, but it'll still pick it up and remove it. And if things ever get out of hand, Combofix will be your best friend. The only payware I would recommend is Kaspersky, because its detection is perfect and it's surprisingly light-weight. It's kind of expensive though. I'd go back to it in a heartbeat if my budget allowed me to. AVG is okayish, and it's pretty reasonably priced, but I still wouldn't take it over MSE. Quote

FinalChaos Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Oh seems like I ain't the only one with super-shitty net. Â The given download speed for my net is 2 mbps though I only get 1-1.5 mbps. And my data cap is 12 gb. I generally finish my cap half-way through the month. Quote
NhKPaNdA Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Yeah, speedtests say i download at 4mb/s, but thats a lie, the highest my downloads have ever been were at 450 kb/s. Atleast i dont have cap, but once i download 400gbs, my internet is severely throttled, so in that sense i do kind of have a cap, but its tolerable. Quote
Ouraibaa Hjyuraa Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 How much of that can you actually use? The ISP is some kind of institute, so I'd imagine that the bandwidth is spread out over 1 or more big buildings. Quote
havoc Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Â doing fine i guess, not nearly as high as i could get in my area but i am a cheapskate Quote
Kosakyun Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 My restriction is 3GB. About one VN a month. Â H-Holy shit. I don't know how I'll deal with that. I wouldn't be able to keep up with my hobbies if I had a cap like that. No worries. I'll give you games in the future. After all, we're in one archipelago. Quote
Satsuki Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 How much of that can you actually use? The ISP is some kind of institute, so I'd imagine that the bandwidth is spread out over 1 or more big buildings. Well, the actual download speed is about 7MB/s at day and >10MB/s at night. Good enough Quote
Kenshin_sama Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I'm not sure what you've tried yet, but I find that this method tends to help a lot of people and is a little less known about. Â Inhale as much air as you can, then exhale as much as you can, and finally hold your breathe until you can't anymore. Keep doing this until your hiccups are gone (you usually only have to do it once or twice). Â I know it's been like 5 hours and they're probably gone already (at least I hope they are), but give it a try if it comes up again. Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Hiccups? I just stop breathing or breathe really slowly and that does it. Quote
FinalChaos Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I can bet that no one is in a greater misery than me right now. Â Â Â Â Â Yep people I am barely above the minimum speed for browsing right now. Quote
hydro Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Â I'm not the worst one here! "Faster than 68% of AU" surprised me though, our country's internet is worse than I thought. I know some people's perception of Australia is "barren outback with animals that kill you", but the reality is more a technologically advanced, sprawling metropolis. So while I love living here, its strange to me my 850kb/s is faster than most of the country. I mean, relative to my country, I apparentally have better internet than havoc and his 50mb/s (B rank vs C rank, better than 68% vs better than 57%). Â The upload speed would be exaggerated as I get nothing like that in practice. When I download things I tend to max out at around 700kb/s of the 850 odd from the speed test, but it's enough for my VNs and girl cartoons. Â Yeah, speedtests say i download at 4mb/s, but thats a lie, the highest my downloads have ever been were at 450 kb/s. Atleast i dont have cap, but once i download 400gbs, my internet is severely throttled, so in that sense i do kind of have a cap, but its tolerable. Â 4 Mb/s (megabit) = 500 kb/s. Unless you meant MB/s (megabyte), but these things tend to be in megabits. Quote
brawlbankai Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Just ran another test just in case, it was barely any better than the previous one. Â And yeah, this is in megabit, so 0.73 megabit per second. Quote
atorq Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Still better than some of your but cmon I live in Finland   And so do I:  But 7Mb/s is not that bad, we had 5 for a very long time just until recently and it's only the downloads that are a pain. Netflix, Youtube and any other streaming service worked just fine when watching 1080p content. Unless someone else got on.    I can bet that no one is in a greater misery than me right now.      Yep people I am barely above the minimum speed for browsing right now.  How do you even internet?

Â Oh wow you live in Finland didn't know that Actually I pay for 15 and usually it is that. But one thing I want is a better upload, download speed is okay Quote

Kenshin_sama Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Oh okay. I tried holding my breath without using any kind of inhale and exhale technique, but it didn't work for for me. I don't think I've ever seen scare tactics work on anyone, but I've seen a few get over it by drinking water. Not sure what it is that gives variation to this, but I guess there are some things that just work better for others. I actually only discovered the method I use about a year ago. Before that, I would just let it go away by itself (really sucked). Quote
Satsuki Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 They are so nice. Not blocking the website itself, just ALL the image. Quote
brawlbankai Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I googled "40k yen" to see the exchange rate, and this was the second result. I'm not exactly surprised, but why would people actually pay for that? Just how desperate would someone have to be to pay for that. I'm not the least bit surprised something like this exists, but I'm utterly astonished that someone would actually pay for this nonsense. Quote
Kosakyun Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 They should just give it to people that are unfortunate. Like the people in Africa. Â ...Or me. Quote
