Yup.. robbery... ISPs need to pull up them socks and do better...
Nuh tek it to heart bro... But I agree with you... I feel the same way wen i am on vacation in JA and I have to resort to using a connection less than 10% of what I have here lol
Buffering is the worse thing known to man lol... once i see that it starts buffering I just download it with Internet Download Manager and watch and delete. Does it much quicker than letting it buffer.
Thats a shame and a half... and definitely says something about the quality of home connections.
I have had times were my mobile connection beats the fixed connection available at that time..
lol... if your connection takes more than 1 second to load you have a problem lol.. rather more than 500ms
lol... dial-up connections are still offered here in the US on a wide scale.. it would take a while to load lol
and the price could still be lower... Oh yea remember those days yes lol... then DSL came along ... 256kbps lol
those burners were so damn slow but at least with those you rarely got coasters when burning cds
The discussion going off-topic far every now and again still. In any case let me do some bashing. And most if not all of my post going be off-topic.
Jamaica is a third world country not only because of our economy but because of our people. IMO - we need someone like Castro to come and throw out every single person out of parliament and run the country. If someone here knows of a politician who is actually for the country then power to them. From what I've seen absolutely none of them care about anything rather than lining their pockets. Throw some marl into potholes close to election or b*tch it up then likkle rain wash it out few weeks (months if you lucky) down the line. Ever see the way our leaders argue in parliament? Not even street urchins or market women stay so.
The people are another set entirely. We all want the luxuries that the first world countries excrete and we gobble up their filth quickly. Speaking for myself - if I go to the market, supermarket, corner store or anywhere to buy anything - if I see it MADE IN JAMAICA or done by a Jamaican company (though they outsource at times....) I will buy it over the foreign things. Build Jamaica with that.
As a somewhat patriotic person I believe we have the best of everything. Why the backside we import things like JACK FRUIT and WATER? Going a step further (and somewhat back on-topic) why we have to import PEOPLE? By this I mean - you in your company and there are perfectly capable and experienced persons in the field, yet persons from overseas are "imported" to do the job because they have the "credentials"........I not knocking the fact that some of the persons we "import" know their stuff, but why not send over someone for training and let them be an asset to the company? Or train the department?
The companies that have come here and literally raped the country don't care about the people - they care about their pockets. Much like our politicians. So they come in, buy a license, make their money then continue to rape the country. CWJ is a prime example. We can go on and on about the change of rates and the age of the technology that they used when they had the infrastructure, resources and ability to do better - but why bother when we can charge the same for significantly less service?
The fact is that people on a whole - not just Jamaicans - don't really care about quality but are more concerned with quantity. Wish I knew how to equate it to something tech related but I can't............aside from the fact that we've won various awards - Imagine Cup among other things - in the tech department. The fact that the gamers we have here are world class but get no exposure because it costs money for us to travel to competitions. But on the quality/quantity - take a 10 mm piece of local ginger and compare it to TWO from any other country. I dare you to tell me that the two from the other country together have more flavor than the 10 mm piece of ours.
We want more internet but not willing to pay for it. We want more of everything tech and otherwise related but we don't want to pay for it. Everyone wants things free - not cheap, but free. We're not appreciative of the fact that we have many things easier than these "first world" countries and that getting to be more like them things will be much easier and much harder. Easier because in the tech arena things like number portability will be in effect - due to actually USING the tech available theft would be forcefully reduced (of mobile devices), but harder because they may start the same foolishness they have/had overseas where you pay for outgoing and incoming calls.
Let me end the rant by going back on topic......I going quote some stuff and edit the post.....
Even today when burning is being done I burn at the slowest speed because it helps when reading back the data. Ever notice the number of rings when you burn fast? It doesn't keep the speed you set it at - it gets progressively faster towards the outside. Makes it harder to be read in some devices too - and more likely to fail earlier with wear.
Where speeds are concerned - we never going see those prices for half those speeds. Not in my lifetime I think. We'll see.
While the technology is there the sad part (to me) is that LIME is coming with the better thing. FTTH. Once that rolls out (depending on pricing) I wonder what FLOW going do? They have it too, but it's the "direct fiber service" for business only...

Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".
