    How much do you pay each month, SimGuy?
    Don't do the conversion to $US, just give me $CA.

    Theres no point me trying. 6 machines on the network and I run my own web and mail server, so I can't get an accurate result unless I change a few cables round and cut everything else off.

    I just signed up this month during a Look promotion, so it's $44.95 CDN for the first 6 months... then it's $64.95 CDN a month. :)

    Unlimited transfers per month, 10 MB personal storage space, Dynamic IP (which is nice), 5 e-mail accounts and the ability to host a website on the connection.

    It's kick ass, much better than the crummy old Rogers network I've been on for 3 years. You don't share any bandwidth, as you have to be within Line-Of-Sight of a Look Microwave Transmission Tower. There's one about 750 yards behind my house. :)

    However, since the parents don't want to pay $64.95 CDN a month, they are going to keep paying $44.95 CDN a month for their Rogers Hi-Speed service, while I get pay for the Look connection and get to use it exclusively. :D

    This test always puts me 2500kbits short of what all the other tests do.

    So in that regard, I'll post what everyone else's tests give me:

    ~4300/530kbits.

    Aren't you assigned one when you activate your phone, depending on what local exchange you use?

    RWB . . . I'm considering leaving the Houston-area too. :) I actually live in Spring but Houston (under the control of the most corrupt mayor in the history of Houston--Lee Brown) is probably going to annex Spring, which will royally suck. I hope the new mayor is better, but I don't know and I can't vote in Houston's mayoral race even though they're going to annex us. What part of Florida are you in? I just might join you there. Plenty of fine chicks? :D

    /me loves Ft. Walton Beach, Florida.
