3 edits | One of the rural places I visit frequently only has 256/256 kbps QWest. It is decent so long as not doing massive upload/download. I have uploaded multi-gigabyte videos from there before though. Works fine so long as you're in no hurry, but at least can still browse, email, IM, etc. while waiting.
Would like more bandwidth there but not willing to spend the money. Even the 256/256 kbps QWest carries a huge premium, $25 with no email etc. just basic internet connection and modem extra $$$, compared to what 768/128 kbps would be in my local Verizon market, $18 including 9 email accounts, 10MB web space and modem included.

A hurry must be a couple days for you.
(256/8/1024)*60*60*24=2700 megabytes, in ideal situation. Must be a couple days or a week to upload each of those multi gigabyte videos, egh?
What about when you browse the web and your upload slows down because the acks are getting to you slower? |

Hah :3 Many of us geeks have our own girlfriends in person, but the thing is, they're just as geeky as us. =o I'm not afraid to admit I have one, and yet I still download 60-70 gb per month.
