How fast is your internet????
I was fed up with people telling me that my sound was cutting in and out on my camshows as my upload rate sucked.
This is the results from when i tested how fast my internet was back in January 30th and it sucked ass! :evil:
So i decided to call up my internet company and ask for the best and fastest i could get
Here's my results today 8)
Check yous at http://www.speedtest.net
Can't wait to test this on a camshow and see how well it works, hopefully this Friday.
But if you can't wait till then, you can watch my roommate Jana Jordan for free tomorrow night at 7pm PST/ 10pm EST
Just make a free account at http://www.webcamclub.com/?ainfo=ODAzOXwyNw== |

I'm not sure my area supports increased speed... It used to be serviced by ComCast.
I'll have to call and find out. TimeWarner just bought out the ComCast members in this area. |

Hi Martina and guys,
I checked the time to Amsterdam and the time to LA. Amsterdam was really fast but LA was really slow. Sort of what i expected really cause I have problems with the quality on most camshows.
BTW thanks for the cool site |

I'm already on the fastest package they have - 10MB max but I can only go up to 7MB because of the local exchange. What they don't tell you in any of their ads is the contention ratio. It is probably 50:1 like most of the other ISPs here which would mean if I am connected at "7MB" I could be running at as little as 140KB :evil: |

I have a great idea for a commercial.
A guy is trying to watch a webcam show, and is getting very frustrated as he his internet is too slow to enjoy the show properly
I then walk in, and explain to him, that he needs extreme internet with time warner cable.
The next shot is the guys watching the cam show after having upgraded his package with a big smile on his face :lol: :lol: :lol: |

That's a great idea! You have a real future in advertising. Just one problem with your concept:
He'd have a REEEALLLY big smile on his face when he saw you...and he wouldn't be interested in the cam show after that! :) |
