This is just stupid.

Your cable is EXTREMELY slow. I really hope you're not paying much for it. It's probably that Rogers Lite crap isn't it?

I pay $29.95CAD (~$22USD) per month, and yes it is Rogers Lite.

Full-blown cable from Rogers would cost me $45/month, and I am unable to justify the expense. To be perfectly honest, the WoW beta client is by FAR the largest thing I have ever downloaded. In fact, I rarely download anything. I mostly use my internet connection for random forum-browsing and e-mail.

Rogers Lite, even with its crappy bandwidth, serves my purposes quite well in this regard. I used to pay $20/month for 56k dialup, and I always hated tying up my phone line while using it. With Rogers Lite I can browse the internet 3x faster (my dialup connection was very slow) and still keep my phone free.

The only thing that would prompt me to upgrade my internet connection to full-blown cable/dsl is if I had a real necessity to download large files from the internet on a regular basis. I don't have such a need (WoW is a huge exception, and I can wait a few days), so I'd rather save the extra $$ per month.

If you know of any alternatives to Rogers Lite that offers better bandwidth in the $25-$35 range, I'd love to hear about it.
