What's prolly the best internet connection I can get for about 40-80 bucks a month. I tried looking myself but I alway get this crap 50 times faster!!! or 11 Time faster than 128 ISD................... None of the places I looked could tell me an upload speed apparently everything's about downloading newadays. Anyway I have cable but this connection is shit for hosting a server...... I was wondering if you guys could help. Thank you
 
if you want to host a server you will probably need to get a T1 hmmm $500 to $1000 per month

any "home" ISP isn't going to give you huge upstream bandwidth

maybe a business plan from an ISP might give you decent upload, but you'd have to check the prices for your area and they possibly won't officially allow you to run servers
 
Primarily .. most residential ISP's like to cap their upload speed at about 128. there are some out there that will allow up to 1.5M but as Rap and NoName said.. you would have to check your local providers... try this link out to see what ya got in your neck of the woods.

enter your zip.. and it will return a list of broadband providers and their reported Up/down speeds.
 
ok thanks guys.

What's better for hosting a small game with friends Cable or DSL I have cable right now but I'm not happy with the uploading. There are a few modifications I should make to my cable. But basically the upload shouldn't be this slow. :(
 
It depends on your provider. My DSL provider gives me 256k uploads, a lot give 128k. You just have to check with the Provider because its different just about everywhere.
 
I would not recommend cable. If many people living around you have it, you share the connection with them. Think how dumb that is. I have a friend that uses it. Sometimes he downloads at 2k/sec and lags more than a 56k ! Sometimes we logged on Battle.net and he dropped at peak hours. He was lagging more than me and I had 56k back then ! As I said before "I'm quite happy with DSL".
 
that's only a problem if your cable provider sucks and doesn't keep their network upgraded

By the way, with DSL (or any type of connection) you are still sharing the connection. The only difference is where the sharing takes place. If a DSL provider's network is overloaded (at the point where all your so-called 'individual' connections lead to), you will be slowed down too. Same thing with dial up. The DSL providers don't like to tell you that in their commercials though.

My cable is much faster than my friends' DSL (I live in Ottawa just like you nonamerequired) :)
 
Well he has Videotron and they are having problems these days...
He tells me they will shutdown servers at certain places.

Sometimes, he would go faster than me. But those times are pretty much over now. His ISP is giving a poor connection.
 
Yeah so many people are getting Cable in this area becuase it was the first thing offerd. I've noticed a drop in service since i'm got my cable. Not only that Time Warner is the provider soo....

    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    cool take it easy
  • jonas jonas:
    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts
  • jonas jonas:
    :p
  • jonas jonas:
    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales
