    Default Good Internet Connection

    Okay, so right now my internet connection is (when plugged in directly) 100 kbps which seems extremely slow for everything I do; however, my dad says that thats the best he can get for a low cost. Right now we are using Road Runner. Does anyone else think this is really slow even if it is "cheap"?

    I think thats pretty slow, thats about 2x faster than dialup i guess. I'd rather spend a few more bucks and get a faster speed. But it depends what you need the net for.

    RoadRunner's lowest packages are not that slow, as far as I know. Get a real router (RR support should give you one for free), and have them run line-tests on it.

    Internet sticks are a fair option for low budget, if you're on HSPA+ area.
    For example I have a HSPA+ stick and I get speeds from 2Mbps to 8Mbps for only 13,90€
    That's in Finland where here are only 3 teleoperators, If you're from US you'll probably have more options and therefore even cheaper prices.

    That is quite slow....100 kbits or kbytes per sec? Either way, still very slow .
