Finally… new interwebs
Today we finally got a new internet connection in our lovely house. The previous package was 1.5 Mb/s (Megabit) down, 0.5 Mb/s up, dating back to 2004. A few months ago this was downgraded (for no good reason) to 1 Mb/s download speed, 110 kb/s max, meaning a gigabyte would take more than two hours to download.
We now have ‘digital TV and telephony’, with a new internet connection equipped with 20 Mb/s download and 4 Mb/s upload speed, this is the speed advertised and it can vary. We also have a new router now so my struggles with portforwarding are over. Previously this required disconnecting all devices, deleting them in the administration panel, disconnecting the DSL line, connecting the device that I wanted to have the public IP (my MacBook Pro for example), then reconnecting and hoping it received my public IP. Then I could portforward and host a webserver. After a power on/off of the router everything was gone and I had to do it all over again.
These issues led to alot of frustration in the past and I had to resort to LogMeIn Hamachi when I wanted to host something on my computer, let alone downloading movies, games, music and gaming online. When one person in our house was downloading/gaming online, it was practically impossible to play online or even browse the web. Drama.

Fortunately this is all over now, so I can finally start adding some music to my collection, try out some new games (Steam!) and host stuff at my computer. If you are on my MSN list: expect to see links to my webserver in convos more often haha. I use MAMP on my MacBook Pro for Apache/MySQL/PHP btw.
On a side note, yesterday I reinstalled Windows 7 on my desktop. It got kinda messy since I started using my Mac, the Mac made me reckless with computers because I just can’t mess my Mac up. So, for the first time in 3 years I’ve seen viruses on my own computer and I was like ‘meh, just reinstall the damn thing’.
