my100!

A quick word about one of the best things to happen to me since I started subscribing to WorldCall's broadband services. Forget the fact that their FTP is dying a slow and painful death, crushed beneath the feet of a thousand users fighting to download every last byte avalable on it. Forget the fact that WorldCall's Customer Service is single handedly the most unabashed bs-generating machine in the history of customer support. What I want you to focus on is the fact that all 64 kbps connections (shared by ten users, by the way so in an ideal scenario, you should get approxmately 6.4 kbps speed on average) have been upgraded, absolutely free of charge, to 100 kpbs connections. The above screenshot is on an average weekday downloading from three international public torrents and at nights, I get upto 80 kbps downloading speeds per international torrent, which is amazing considering how long I have had to sit through crawling 2-5 kpbs speeds on international torrents previously on the same connection. Take that, DSL! =D

By the way, even with the new package, browsing speeds aren't anything special however, as I advise everyone who asks (which is a surprisingly small number of people), if you want brilliant downloading speeds, for example for downloading gigabyte upon gigabyte of excellent quality anime files, tv shows, movies, software and so on, you can't go wrong with Worldcall's new my100 package. If, however, your primary concern if with superfast browsing, you should stick to DSL.
