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.)

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.

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.

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

[Gaz]

I download at 100-500mbits.

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.

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.

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

[xJ33]

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

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

About 2 mins 20 secs.

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

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

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

[Heartview]

About 2 mins 20 secs.

I did a rough calculation. The difference between the bits and bytes and mbits and megbytes is what slows me down.

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

Depending on where you live, that sounds like an OK deal. I payed about that much where I used to live, for 6.5 mb/s.
