New Computer, or Better Internet?

[xJ33]

I can't decide. Help and why, please? my internet is about 156 k/b, or should I get a gaming tower around $650? (can't make a poll, I'm on my iTouch.)

[Heartview]

You wont be ably to do much with that new computer with slow internet can you?

But honestly a 1.5Mbit connection is pretty normal. Unless you are making a jump up to >6.5, I would go for a new comp.

[Gaz]

I would get internet first, because if you have a gaming computer and slow internet well that fails. BUT
Fast internet and shit computer, you can actually play a decent game, but then you can change into a gaming computer.

[xJ33]

No, it's 156 KILOBYTES, not mbits. It's that slow. i'm fairly used to it.

If you live in Australia you would be so lucky because here we have TPG ADSL2+ 180GB per month with the payment of $49.90 per month, unlimited downloads.

Then it would be kb/s not k/b.

[Stevenom]

i'm not bsing, you should check out TPG, i'm on 200GB ADLS2+ $50 permonth plan. I can torrent 7gb in about 40 minutes.

...
SILLY!

I think you mean 100-500 kbps At 500Mb/s you would download that 7gigs in a matter of seconds.

Yeah, 14 seconds.

Oh shit, got typo, i meant 100-500 MB/S, soz was talking on phone.

Still wrong.
100-500 MBs is too fast for Aussie net.

You sure , change your internet plan to TPG but you need a telestra telephone line.

Well, depends if you live near the communications tower.
I live near Liverpool.
But seriously, 100-500Mbs is still way too fast...

[Heartview]

Your download speed is ~150kbps? If so that that is a standard 1.5mbit connection.

[Gaz]

I download at 100-500mbits.

[Stevenom]

I download at 100-500mbits.

That sounds like bs.
I has Optus.
I average about 600 kbs on Steam.
And 2Mbs on EA games.

And get net first.

Ok, so by the looks of it, I'm going to get internet first.

Downstream Speed Up to 7 Mbps
Upstream Speed Up to 512 Kbps
E-mail accounts 10
Web Storage 50 MB

Is that good? This is the price:

TPG Broadband-Off Net Plans

About 20mb/s is the fastest I see there, and that would be 2000kbps download speed.
